Washington bureau Chief

And today we are joined by two distinguished Korean journalists.

Uh, we welcome back Mr. Wonchul Kim, who is the Washington Bureau Chief for the Hankyoreh.

He covers U.S. politics, foreign policy, and of course, U.S.-Korea relations.

Uh, he has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Social Affairs Desk and led teams covering prosecutors, police, and the Democratic Party.

Uh, Won-Chol has been on the show before, and we're great to have you back.

Thank you for having me.

And we are especially, um, uh, um, grateful and excited to have a new person join us on the show, Ms. Ji- Jihye Yu, who is Washington Bureau Chief for the JoongAng Ilbo.

She started her new position here in August.

It's a game that's been played for a long time, but it's not a game we're gonna play.

Joining me now is our panel, Tia Mitchell, Washington Bureau Chief for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, former Democratic congressman from New York, Joe Crowley, and President and Executive Editor of The Daily Signal, Rob Bluey.

Thanks to all of you for being here.

Really appreciate it.

The Monica Lewinsky scandal broke.

Kim, my wife, who was the Washington Bureau Chief, came into, came to me and she said, "Do you remember how Nightline got started on ABC? Out of a, out of specials about the Iran hostage crisis?" And that's ...

A- and she said, "You know, uh, that's when you should be starting this show now." I said, "Well, we don't have anything.

We don't have the equipment.

This is to advise.

This is the Washington Bureau Chief from Fox.

This is to advise that effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the president.

This follows the White House's position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties.

In case you missed it, back at you with another full disclosure rewind featuring highlights from recent episodes.

You'll hear some of my conversation with The Economist's new Washington bureau chief.

You know, like we

saw with North Korea, Trump does talk a good game, whether it's Gaza, the Gaza Riviera, developing Gaza, North Korea, you know, his dealings with Kim Jong-un in Trump won in the first term.

Full disclosure, I'm Roben Farzad.

It is a joy to finally welcome Shashank Joshi.

He is the new Washington Bureau Chief of the Economist.

He has covered defense for the longest time, has had dozens of cover stories.

I got a pretty good idea why that is, um, and some other things about what happens and what's at stake at the midterm election when the Democrats inevitably get the gavel in places like the Senate and House Judiciary Committee.

Who's better to bounce this around with than Scott MacFarlane, Midas's White House and Washington bureau chief? Uh, and welcome, welcome to Legal AF.

Thanks for being here again.

So as soon as I started, you know, um, covering what was happening in Judge Kelly's courtroom and how quickly, of course, as we all predicted, the, um, three media outlets would run to him for an emergency hearing, we sort of knew what was gonna happen, right? 2018, this is 2018 all over again, Fifth Amendment analysis, due process has been violated because property and liberty interest taken away from these media outlets, and I'll save for another day, preliminary injunction day, the First Amendment.

[laughs]

... and we're getting there.

And I'm so glad I'm in it with you, Scott MacFarlane of Scott MacFarlane Reports and Midas Touch Network, and its Washington Bureau Chief.

Thank you for being here.
