Transcript:
Donald Trump has cut food assistance for 42 million Americans. A federal judge says it’s illegal and the payments must go out. But does the White House even care?
Barack Obama’s out there hammering MAGA, and Donald Trump is melting down about it. I will be joined today by New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani.
We will also check out 60 Minutes doing a new Trump interview, exactly what Trump sued them for doing with a Kamala Harris interview, and discuss whether JD Vance’s Hindu Indian wife is becoming a liability for him with the Turning Point/MAGA crowd. I think the answer is clearly yes.
We are also doing something this month we’ve never done before. Because there are people hungry right now, for every new website and new Substack paid subscription this month, we are donating the entire first payment to Feeding America. 98% of donations to them go right into feeding people. Every dollar funds 10 meals. So one monthly membership funds 60 meals, and a yearly membership funds hundreds. That’s for every new membership at joinpakman.com or on the Substack.
Trump has $6 billion he could use to feed families he’s choosing not to. So we’re going to try to help.
Let’s get into today’s show.
