Transcript:

We have a really big show today. I am back from Chicago.

We will start with what is probably the clearest warning yet about the economy under this administration. The Fed Chair Jerome Powell says private sector job growth is basically zero.

We have an economy that’s not creating private sector jobs. Inflation is up. More jobs are at risk, and a huge part of the problem are the optional tariffs. Another part of the problem is the optional war in Iran.

And even Fox News is starting to panic now. You’ve got hosts on air saying these numbers are much worse than we expected, not good.

And then we get maybe the most dangerous thing that Donald Trump has ever said, most alarming about the Iran situation, saying others had better stop doing X, or we will then go and do it ourselves. If that’s cryptic, I’m going to explain on the show today.

And Karoline Leavitt simply can’t do it anymore, visibly struggling as the senator who is nominated to replace Kristi Noem at the Department of Homeland Security is asked relatively simple questions, and he can’t answer them.

We’ll also hear from AOC, who points out a major contradiction in the justification for this Iran war.

And my interview, in-person interview, in Chicago with the governor, JB Pritzker, who has done a very good job at beating back Trump’s ICE.

All of that today.
