The Full Story by Matthew Bishop

Episode notes

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.
