Transcript:

The Trump administration is laying the groundwork to sabotage at least one election. He can’t cancel elections. So the new idea is very, very dark. In addition to nationalizing them, which we talked about yesterday, the new idea is to militarize them — voting with people standing there with guns. I’ll tell you what the play is and where else we’ve seen it in history.

Trump also getting hit with a brutal legal one-two punch. Republicans may have thought that dragging the Clintons into the Epstein hearing sounded like fun, sounded like a win, but they have now opened the door to Trump, his kids, and other allies to be subpoenaed.

And then we have to talk a little bit about the Epstein files themselves. A Democratic lawmaker drops a shocking claim involving Trump and children. We’re going to walk through what is alleged and what is proven and what is possible.

And then a complete and total meltdown when a nasty woman calls Trump out on live TV. He doesn’t like real journalists, and he doesn’t like women who aren’t intimidated by him. So if you’ve got a female journalist who’s not intimidated by him, it is a recipe for a meltdown.

All of that and more today. Plus on the Bonus Show, what I’ve been up to here in Portugal, very relevant to the political situation in the United States.
