On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky checks in from the Boston airport and dives into why there’s an appetite on the right for fair criticism of President Trump.

Emily Jashinsky responds to Hasan Piker’s criticism of her arguments about transgender issues and children and argues that he dodged the larger question of who originally pushed these debates into schools, sports, locker rooms, and libraries. Then Emily is joined by Mark Halperin, editor-in-chief of 2WAY and host of “Next Up with Mark Halperin,” to discuss his reporting on the difficult midterm environment for Republicans and what dozens of GOP sources are telling him about President Trump, the economy, and the Iran war. Emily also breaks down the latest revelations in the Jack Smith case and Smith’s Senate testimony, which were largely overshadowed by a viral Republican blunder. She digs into the complicated “Cornell 7” case and Sunny Hostin’s defense of the accused men. Finally, Emily reacts to Lindsay Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington’s stunning new argument about the murders of Clancy’s three children and Reddington’s treatment of the lone holdout juror.
