Transcript:
Today on the show, a telling snapshot of where things stand when even Fox News guests are starting to say out loud, the economy appears to be heading towards a recession under Donald Trump. This is a big problem when your whole brand is “I fix the economy.”
We’re also going to look at a really rough speech from Trump, where, frankly, it’s getting harder and harder to even follow what he’s trying to say—never mind what he is saying.
And then a truly bizarre performance from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, which explodes in an impenetrable word salad when asked a really simple question about who has the power to go to war and when, and what is actually happening.
Then in a story that really goes beyond politics into something very dark happening in Christian nationalism, James Talarico is back in the news when Pete Hegseth’s spiritual advisor says he wants Talarico dead. We will discuss it, as well as yet another Truth Social meltdown about the filibuster. Republicans are starting to plan their exit as we approach ‘26 and ultimately ‘28.
All of it and more today. Why don’t we do it?
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
