Transcript:

We’re going to be talking about Tennessee today. There is a deep red district that Donald Trump won by 22 points, and it is suddenly a toss up in a special election that is happening today. Republicans are panicking. Trump is calling in from exile in Mar a Lago, and this is a race that they should have been able to sleep walk to victory with, and it is a potential crisis for the Republican Party, potentially a major warning shot for 2026.

We’re also going to go to the White House briefing room, where Karoline Leavitt has hit a new low. She has admitted to war crimes on camera after days of denials. Can’t explain what on earth is going on with Trump’s MRI, and the meltdown will continue as she fumbles basic facts and generically makes no sense whatsoever.

We then have to deal with an overnight tirade from the President on Truth Social that involves hundreds of posts, hundreds of posts. And Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, says they are going to start extreme vetting of people coming to the United States, which, of course, confirms what we all knew, that the extreme vetting they claimed to be doing, they weren’t actually doing.

Finally, Megyn Kelly delivers may be the most blood thirsty rant I have ever seen, fantasizing about making wounded people suffer before dying. And the question I have is, do we still care about the law? Do we still care about the Constitution?

It is a big Tuesday in American politics, and it’s going to be great to have you with us.
