Transcript:

Trump flew to China trying to fix the Iran disaster and came back with absolutely nothing. Oil is exploding. Gas prices are crushing Americans. Trump is threatening even more war. Even though he said he would be the anti-war president.

And meanwhile, major polling collapses are happening with Latino voters. Even among the very Latino men who helped Donald Trump become president in 2024, they are bailing. We’re going to look at why and why it is surprising analysts.

And then Rededicate 250, a completely ridiculous, unconstitutional event held to rededicate the United States on its 250th birthday to being a formally religious Christian country. What on earth are they doing?

But there are more and more Trump voters regretting everything, and we’re hearing from them.

Plus, wait until I tell you about my MAGA stalker. Yes, leaving me angry voicemails for years without realizing no one was listening. We found out because of an accident. It is an insane story.
