Summary
Sen. Eric Schmitt sparked a million memes with an attempted takedown of former special prosecutor Jack Smith that ended up revealing only that he had mixed up the names of two sports teams. We dive into that and move onto an attempted terror takeover of a flight over Israel, and a $3 billion gift for Carnegie Mellon. It's the largest gift ever in educational history in the United States.
