Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway joined Ben Domenech in the studio to discuss Donald Trump’s sweep in the Northeastern States’ primaries, the recent death of Prince and make to make of the loss, and her reports from the most recent congressional hearing on the trafficking of aborted baby parts. 

“If he had never sung a song, he would still be one of the world’s best guitar players,” Hemingway said of Prince. “That’s how talented he was.” 

Hemingway said since Prince’s death, many journalists have attempted to characterize him as gender bending and queer. “For one thing he was a man who dressed in a feminine way frequently,” she said. “But this was a guy who did more for female self-esteem than anybody by recognizing and praising female sexuality.”
Last week, the House Select Panel on Infant Lives heard testimonies from witnesses about evidence of a widespread market for for unborn baby parts. Hemingway recapped the hearing and what the witnesses had to say. 

“The first thing they showed is that federal prohibits profiting from the sale or transfer of fetal parts,” she said. “Then they showed that abortion clinics don’t actually do any work to get these aborted baby parts. Other people come into a clinic and they do everything.”

Michael Tracey is an independent writer and political reporter who joins today's Federalist Radio to discuss "fake news," the unhinged media reactions to Trump, and experimenting in digital media platforms.

Donald Trump's tweets have been consistently treated as breaking news every day sin he was elected. "A lot of these people in the media are so blinkered by rage and confusion... and they don't have a standard for how to situate themselves in relation to Trump," Tracey said. "Which is crazy because they should by now."

As a crowd-funded journalist himself, Tracey discusses the relationships audiences have with news sources and what they are willing to pay for. "I think one reason why this media class is so disposed to groupthink is that they rely on revenue from similar sources...clicks, non-profit support, or philanthropists' money."

Suzanne Venker is a cultural critic and author of the new book,"The Alpha Female's Guide to Men and Marriage: How Love Works." Mary Katharine Ham and Joy Pullmann interview Suzanne on the Federalist Radio Hour about how strong women can learn to make their marriages less competitive and more complementary.

Venker discusses some of the differences between the sexes and how some of ways women empower or assert themselves in the workplace, may cause conflict in their relationships. "It's not that men can't handle strong women. It's that there's a difference between strong and being strong-willed, where you refuse to back down," she said. "Your strength is wonderful for [men], but not when it's used against them."

Later in the hour, writer and author Amelia Hamilton joins Mary Katharine in studio to discuss what she saw at CPAC last week and what it says about the future for conservatives.
