Transcript:
We’re going to go back today to what happened after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and how his own movement turned him into a conspiracy object and basically erased him in the process. And I’m not talking about his critics. I’m talking about the people who at least used to support him.
We’re then going to take a look at the bigger picture about presidential health. The White House says Trump is effectively a superhero. Every video we see says something different. And so we’re going to talk about who is actually running the country and what the implications are here.
I also am ready to make a prediction. I rarely do this, but I’m ready to make one. I believe MAGA dies with Trump at the end of Trump’s term, or whenever Trump’s presidency is over, and I’ll explain why this is. And it includes Trump’s allies increasingly treating him like a liability.
And I would argue that this authoritarian collapse was inevitable if you look at history. Plus, do Republicans even believe their own rhetoric at this point, and the importance of 2026’s midterms in ending Trump’s presidency in practice.
Also, Don Lemon was arrested in one of the biggest attacks yet on independent media and we will have full coverage of that on tomorrow's show.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
