Hour 1: The Legal Limits of White House Press Access, Proposed Redistricting Fixes, and Jury Intimidation Concerns

In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show with Ryan Wrecker guest hosting, Ryan is joined by Jeff Mordock, White House correspondent for the Washington Times, to discuss the details surrounding recent White House press pool access restrictions and how credentialing policies compare to past administrations. Mordock also provides analysis on the upcoming summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping and the broader international implications of artificial intelligence development. Ryan is then joined by Brad Young, 97.1 FM Talk chief legal analyst and partner at Harris, Young, and Kaiser, to discuss the major legal headlines of the day. Young analyzes the First Amendment lawsuits filed by media outlets banned from White House press events, evaluates the legal implications surrounding Missouri's congressional redistricting map disputes, and reflects on the Lindsay Clancy murder trial and the role of holdout jurors in the American justice system.
