The whistleblower complaint over a phone call between President Donald Trump and the president of Ukraine has all but upended U.S. politics. But how does Ukraine feel about all this? Today, I'll speak with our foreign correspondent Nolan Peterson, who’s stationed in Ukraine. I’ll ask him what regular Ukrainians think about this controversy and what Ukraine as a whole has to lose.
Plus: Transgender athletes are wreaking havoc on women’s rugby, and no one’s allowed to speak up. We’ll discuss.
We also cover the following stories:
President Trump suggests arresting Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., for "treason"
Hong Kong protesters taunt Beijing ahead of China's national holiday
Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., resigns amid insider trader scandal

Introducing Mogul, a show about hip-hop's most iconic moments, told by the people who lived them. This season starts with Luke Campbell of the 2 Live Crew getting thrown in jail. Luke wound up in handcuffs because, according to a Florida judge, his music was obscene. To understand how this happened, we have to go back in time to 1980s Miami, to a sweatbox teen disco that birthed a new kind of hip hop: Miami bass.

We begin, however, with a brief update on #Brexit; no, we haven't forgotten that our closest ally is also suffering under the weight of an insane leader hell-bent on a racist policy that everyone knows is an impending disaster. But unlike the U.S., it looks like the U.K. Supreme Court.... still understands the rule of law? What a novel concept.
Then, it's time for a deep dive into impeachment, where we tackle:
Exactly why President Trump's conduct towards Ukraine in particular is so reprehensible;
Why beginning an "impeachment inquiry" matters;
What the Nixon articles of impeachment looked like;
The Clinton impeachment timeline;
ALL the ways Mitch McConnell and the Republicans can try and screw this up; and much, much more.
Then, it's time for the answer to Friday's #T3BE involving real property, and specifically, the condition to a contract requiring the buyer to procure a loan at 10% and whether that allows the seller to back out even if the buyer turns over the purchase price. Find out if Thomas got this one right!
