The episode opened with coverage of the suspended Trump indictment, with Tim explaining that the grand jury was sent home with no movement expected that week, suggesting Trump had successfully created enough press coverage to potentially derail the prosecution.

Economic news dominated the latter portion, including Indeed laying off workers, Walmart shutting down stores, and egg shortages.
