In This Episode

As the Trump administration launches economic wars against Iran and Canada, the Washington Post reports on Trump’s war with a third adversary: his weight. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett calculate Trump’s BMI and then break down Scott Bessent invoking World War II when announcing new Iranian sanctions and Trump’s new 50% tariffs on Canadian imports. They then turn to the midterms to discuss Susan Collins skipping out on a campaign event with JD Vance, Mike Rogers’ attempt to distance himself from AIPAC, and Democrats’ growing chances to flip Ohio blue. Then, Congressman Seth Moulton talks to Jon about the Massachusetts Senate primary and why he’s decided to challenge Senator Ed Markey.
