Transcript:
On today’s show, the shutdown is backfiring as Americans are blaming Donald Trump. This was exactly what he and Republicans wanted to avoid, and it’s happening as a bunch of our systems, including food stamps, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, are all being degraded. The concern is that some of these may go nonfunctional.
Today may be a tough show for Democrats because I am going to outline what I see as a continued and increasingly serious problem for them in trying to convince voters to vote for us. It’s not going well.
We’ll also talk about maybe the most corrupt action Donald Trump has ever taken. He is suing the Department of Justice for $230 million, and he controls the Department of Justice. This may be the most corrupt action he has ever undertaken, and it really says a lot.
We will also go to the Oval Office to discuss a number of the hairbrained and disastrous declarations that Trump and his cronies made yesterday.
We’re going to speak with Sabrina Singh, which I think will be really interesting. She was Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary in the DoD under Biden, and she is going to give us some insight into what on earth is going on with Pete Hegseth inside the Department of Defense.
Karoline Leavitt then expresses unbridled jealousy for her predecessor, Karine Jean-Pierre, dropping a massive dump of attacks on her.
I also want to address this movement that is convinced Trump has only hours or days to live. Where is this movement coming from? What are they basing this on? And is this a productive thing to be thinking about?
All of that and more, plus a great bonus show for you today.
