This is a quick rundown of the topics we’ll be covering on today’s show. You can hit play to listen, or read the transcript below if that’s more your style.
Transcript:
Well, he did it. Donald Trump politically executed one of his Republican opponents, and he got him out of Congress, while his administration may have crossed the single most corrupt line that any modern president has crossed.
We’re going to talk about the IRS and DOJ creating what critics are calling a taxpayer-funded MAGA slush fund. And by the way, it also prevents the IRS from investigating Trump and his family.
Meanwhile, JD Vance may have accidentally, supposedly accidentally, implicated Trump in securities fraud while trying, I guess, to defend him.
We’re going to look at an incredible email I received from a nurse.
And then Melania Trump can’t believe the condition of her husband as he rants about knowing flagpoles better than anybody, and waterproof lakes and a “dispray.” You may be saying, David, what do you mean to “dispray?” You must mean a display. I don’t know. Trump called it a “dispray” and we will discuss all of it and more.
Plus, plus. Where does American leverage come from in 2026? Is it aircraft carriers? I’m going to argue that it is not, and that in fact we seem to be losing much of our leverage.
That’s all today if we can squeeze it in.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
