Synopsis
In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) reflects on political violence in America as thousands gather for the funeral of conservative activist Charlie Kirk — and recalls when his own home was firebombed earlier this year. In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pushes for all partisan politics to be "out of the judicial system" as President Trump asks Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political opponents. Author and podcast host Mel Robbins joins Kristen Welker for a Meet the Moment conversation about her book "The Let Them Theory," which explores how letting go of control can help people live with greater clarity and purpose.
