Good morning! Today, on The Meter, we will cover the so-called "hush money" trial in New York City of Donald Trump. The jury selection is complete with 12 jurors and 6 alternates. The Trump defense team was once again denied a postponement for a move to another venue for a more impartial jury, as Manhattan is 95% Democrat. Trump has been ordered by the judge to attend every day, keeping the Republican nominee off of the campaign trail. Analysts claim the former president's team is hoping for a hung jury. How will the day-to-day spectacle play out in the election? Also, the Israeli-Hamas war is expanding. This week, Israeli forces struck targets deep inside Iran, in defiance of Joe Biden. The strikes hit nuclear facilities south of the Iranian capital of Tehran. Iran downplayed the attack and claimed no significant damage to any of its infrastructure. Iran has pledged a decisive response. If the conflict expands even further, what will it mean for the United States? On the campaign front, Joe Biden was speaking at a war memorial in Scranton, PA, where his uncle was honored. Biden gave interesting details not mentioned by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Biden claimed his uncle Ambrose Finnigan was shot down over Papa New Guinea, and his body was eaten by cannibals. The crowd of people seemed stunned, but Biden was proud of his uncle and the crew's sacrifice for the US war effort in the Pacific. As of this hour, no claims of racism have been level against Biden. Is the appetitising story fact or fiction? Please join the discussion at 10AM. The call-in number is 347-308-8933. Your input is essential!
