Lower Decatur businesses have been buried behind construction fences for months, so this Sunday they’re throwing a "Defend Decatur" block party with tons of great bands. Kirk Estopinal from Cane & Table and Steve Smith from Turtle Bay join Scoot to talk about the event, the impact on businesses, and why this stretch of the Quarter still matters. What’s your favorite spot on Lower Decatur, and are you making a point to support local businesses during construction chaos?
Also, Scoot talks about the $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that was established by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of a settlement agreement to resolve a $10 billion civil lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump and his sons against the Internal Revenue Service over the unauthorized leak of his tax records, which is said to be intended to pay off those pardoned from the January 6 insurrection.
