Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive into the controversy surrounding Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, following Donald Trump’s claims that some were eating pets—claims quickly "fact-checked" by David Muir. We examine the reality behind these statements, including 911 calls from concerned residents, testimonies at a local town hall meeting, and the city manager’s response to the situation. We also explore how the state is managing the influx of roughly 20,000 migrants in a town of just 60,000 people. Finally, in "This Day in History," we discuss the Soviet Luna 2 mission, marking the first time a man-made object reached the moon.
