In a little over a month, Donald Trump will reach the first 100 days of his second term as President of the United States of America - and while his approval ratings show he has little to worry about, he'll want to have a list of wins to boast about as he crosses that auspicious date. While the President is proving more popular than ever, the recent security breach scandal that saw an anti-Trump journalist added to a Signal group chat containing highly sensitive military information is likely to sour any taste of accomplishment. Piers Morgan convenes a panel of political commentators with their fingers firmly pressed on the pulse of the American public. Executive producer and host of 'The Young Turks' Ana Kasparian, host of 'No Lie with BTC' Brian Tyler-Cohen and Benny Johnson from 'The Benny Show' all offer up their opinions on Trump's second reign.

Hearing J.D. Vance have the audacity to go not just to Europe but to Munich, GERMANY to finger-wag about a "threat from within" was just too stunning to let glide by.Today I started with my disdain (I was actually outraged upon first glance) for a social media post by a longtime radio friend taking delight in a purported spike in home listings in the DC metro - along with a pretty wicked comment from another (and mutual) friend of ours ("like roaches twhen the lights come on"). These two people I've known for decades ... GOOD people I know have kindness and empathy in their hearts ... reacting as if they were French citizens sneering as Nazi troops were retreating in defeat. Looking at each other as "enemies from within" (remember that rhetoric on the campaign trail?) as Vance had the stones to speak similarly IN Germany over the weekend while a foreign-born Elon Musk dismantles our government "from within" has a certain "Manchurian Candidate" vibe, to me. I mentioned how Brian Tyler Cohen had touched on this, last week; Forbes did, too. Oh, and from the department of FAFO, Georgians got word FEMA won't be extending disaster relief cleanup funding application periods, despite Governor Brian Kemp asking for it. Whelp; maybe he's learning that not kissing the ring on "The Don" comes at a cost (to Georgia taxpayers). Total fealty "or else" right? And honestly, isn't this what "red states" should be told anyway? You know, the "takers" that get more federal dollar than they put into Uncle Sam's coffers? I mean, maybe (if Trump were being consistent) this should be the message. Except, of course, he's holding California hostage while it puts in more than it gets, but whatever.
The first indications of a real revolt form against the Trump administration.
