What is now a San Francisco tourist hotspot was once a notorious prison for hardened criminals. Trump wants to turn back the clock and make Alcatraz into the isolated prison for the worst offenders that it once was.
If that leaves, you scratching your head, some other things he said over the weekend will too. The president questioned whether he has to follow the constitution. He told the press he would not rule out taking Greenland by force and he says there will be a 100% tariff for foreign films in America.
We will talk politics with author Jared Yates Sexton and iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich.
Karen Dawn of Dawn Watch will join to help save the animals.
