In This Episode
The White House doubles down on both of Trump’s wars — the war against Iran and his trade war — sending Pete Hegseth to the Hill to request a $70 billion cash infusion for the Pentagon and imposing new tariffs on Canadian imports and prescription drugs.
Jon and Dan discuss how Democrats should approach the administration’s funding request, how voters — especially MAGA Republicans — are reacting to Trump’s moves, and the president’s warning to Americans that they “can’t fight” the construction of new data centers in their communities.
Then, the guys break down a series of new polls that show the Democrats carrying a big lead into November, the “fight to the death” at the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee to determine which state will lead off the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, and a new video showing the extent of Trump’s Oval Office renovations.
Then, Dan talks to former White House communications director Jen Palmieri about her new series, “Long Play,” on winning back power in the South, available at youtube.com/@longplayseries or wherever you get your podcasts.
