Transcript:
We are looking at what happens when a political movement gets backed into a corner and decides that the answer is absolute and total loyalty, no matter how extreme things get.
We’ll start with Trump and allies now defending behavior that in any normal political environment would be completely indefensible.
And then we will go to the further escalation by the unleashing of a criminal probe against Jay Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, because Donald Trump didn’t get the interest rates that he wants, which is a stunning abuse of power, but Powell refuses to be intimidated.
We’re also going to break down the cell phone video taken by the involved ICE officer who killed Renee Good, which is blowing apart the administration’s version of events.
And then a totally surreal moment where Donald Trump wanders off during a high-stakes White House meeting to look out the window and gaze towards an imaginary White House ballroom, which may or may not ever come to fruition.
Kristi Noem collapses on CNN. Fox host Peter Doocy gets dismantled on live TV by our friend Jake Auchincloss, and much more.
A show about desperation, loyalty tests, and what happens when reality is optional.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
