Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Republican revolt that forced a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies, as four GOP lawmakers joined Democrats on a discharge petition to prevent premiums from doubling for millions of Americans. They analyze the political fallout for House Republicans in swing districts, Speaker Mike Johnson's failed negotiations, and the looming deadline that could leave 22 million people facing higher health care costs. Kander and Gupta also dive into a wave of national turmoil, from mass shootings and rising antisemitism among young Americans to chaos and incompetence inside Trump's law enforcement leadership and explosive reactions to Trump's own rhetoric. Plus, they discuss new reporting on Susie Wiles, deepening MAGA infighting, growing backlash to AI and Big Tech, and fresh polling showing cracks in Trump's base.

In a blow to House Speaker Mike Johnson, four House Republicans joined Democrats to force a vote next year on an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Anger is spiking in both directions: Representative Mike Lawler, one of those four, ripped Johnson's effort to block that vote as “absolute bullshit!” But more MAGA-fied allies of President Trump like Representative Eric Burlison excoriated those rebels for “stabbing the rest of the party in the back.” This is the worst of both worlds for Republicans: They are mired in infighting, yet despite this push by centrists, the subsidies will still expire, bringing political trouble next year. Indeed, Johnson seemed unnerved as he gamely insisted he has “not lost control.” We talked to Grace Segers, who writes well about Congress and policy as a staff writer for The New Republic. We discuss the deeper roots of intra-GOP tensions, how this all might play in the midterms, and the deeper human toll that the expiring subsidies will unleash. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Joe Pags breaks down Speaker Mike Johnson's narrow healthcare victory after a House GOP rebellion over Obamacare, explaining why this moment matters and what it means for everyday Americans. Then Pags takes on Ilhan Omar, highlighting her latest interview missteps and fact-checking her claims as she once again proves why her rhetoric doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Finally, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, now running for Florida governor, joins Pags for a wide-ranging conversation. They dig into immigration honestly — why Democrats spent years pushing open borders and don't care about “law and process,” what's really driving the political messaging, and why Donalds says Democrats prioritize power and control above all else. They also discuss healthcare costs, rising insurance premiums, COVID-era misinformation, and how Florida plans to enforce the law and send illegal immigrants home without giving in to what Donalds calls radical-left outrage. A strong, substantive hour grounded in facts and accountability. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Tuesday, a sprawling two-part Vanity Fair piece built from more than a dozen interviews with Susie Wiles, President Trump's chief of staff, dropped online. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most revealing portraits of an active White House power broker I can remember. Wiles describes Trump as having an “alcoholic's personality,” a striking characterization given his lifelong teetotalism. Trump, notably, did not dispute it. He later confirmed the description himself, calling it aggressive, possessive, and myopic.Wiles also took shots across the bow at several major figures. She labeled Elon Musk an “odd duck,” dismissed his politics, and triggered a very public response that included Musk taking a drug test near my own neighborhood to rebut claims of ketamine use. She endorsed JD Vance as the likely Republican nominee in 2028 while simultaneously describing his MAGA conversion as politically convenient. On Epstein, she confirmed Trump's name appears in the files, contradicted Trump's claims about Bill Clinton, and slammed Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the document release as a total failure. These were not slips. They were deliberate disclosures from someone who understands power intimately.Perhaps most telling was Wiles's admission that some Trump-era prosecutions look vindictive and that Venezuelan boat strikes were intended to pressure Nicolás Maduro politically, not just disrupt drug trafficking. That level of candor is rare. It reframes policy decisions as leverage rather than law enforcement, and it explains why the article landed like a grenade inside Republican circles.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Payrolls grew by 64,000 jobs, better than feared but far from robust. Unemployment climbed to 4.6 percent, the highest level in more than four years, signaling a labor market that is cooling but not collapsing. The Labor Department flagged unusual data uncertainty due to the government shutdown, muddying trend lines even further.Supporters of the administration argue that private sector employment remains solid and that government job losses were inevitable given debt and deficits. Critics counter that Trump ran as the “economy man,” and this is not an economy that inspires confidence. Manufacturing and professional services continue to contract, while gains are concentrated in health care and education. The Fed's recent rate cut looks justified, but the promised “golden age” is difficult to sell when affordability remains front and center for voters.A Prime-Time Address and the Politics of the MomentAll of this sets the stage for Trump's prime-time address from the White House, scheduled for Wednesday night. Officially, there is no news hook. Unofficially, this looks like a straight-to-camera year-in-review and year-ahead speech, a nakedly political address designed to reset the narrative as he approaches the midpoint of his second term. If there were a major announcement, such as a Russia-Ukraine breakthrough or a stimulus package, it would not stay secret. The absence of leaks suggests there is no surprise coming.At the same time, Speaker Mike Johnson is facing an internal revolt over expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. Moderates in swing districts are desperate for a vote they can point to, even if it fails. Hardliners insist on abortion-related restrictions tied to the Hyde Amendment, and leadership is frozen. With discharge petitions circulating and Trump's own political strength under scrutiny, Johnson's power is only as strong as Trump's grip on the conference. Right now, that grip looks uncertain.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:23 - Susie Wiles in Vanity Fair00:04:49 - Kirk Bado on Susie Wiles00:35:30 - Update00:37:14 - Jobs Report00:39:43 - Trump's Primetime Address Announcement00:44:04 - Mike Johnson and the ACA00:50:37 - Kirk Bado on Nuzzi/Lizza and More01:13:57 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, we need to become interested in the founding of America because there are those who are telling us how awful America is. We need to trigger a deeper interest in our history. It's good to learn some of the men who signed your Constitution aren't very well know, such as Rufus King, John Langdon and Jonathan Dayton. Also, it was only a matter of time before Stephen A Smith came under attack for being Nextan independent thinker. Smith will not be intimidated by anyone, especially Stephen Jackson. Later, Marjorie Taylor Greene has gone from dumb to evil. She is now plotting to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on her way out of Congress. She wants the Republicans to lose and is trying to figuratively burn it all down. Afterward, Mehek Cooke has blown the whistle on a massive Medicaid fraud scheme in the Somali community in Ohio, describing it as far larger than Minnesota's ongoing scandal and dating back over a decade, involving millions in stolen taxpayer dollars. The issue stems from criminals exploiting Ohio's easily gamed system rather than the community itself, urging audits of Medicaid programs nationwide to protect hurting taxpayers. In addition, criticisms from Republicans and President Trump target the Somali community's culture and lack of assimilation as recent immigrants, not their race. Conflicts arise from ideology and culture, not race – reject the left-leaning tactics that inject race into non-racial issues. Finally, what's been done to the Israeli hostages was unconscionable. According to reports, a Palestinian doctor murdered Noa Marciano by injecting air into her vein while she begged for mercy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
