Podcast appearances and mentions of JD Vance

Critiquing the 14-Point Memo of Understanding and Operation Epic Fury. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Peter Berkowitz analyzes the 14-point Memo of Understanding, contrasting Secretary Marco Rubio's "peace through strength" approach with Vice President JD Vance's "restraint." He argues "Operation Epic Fury" failed because it did not secure the Strait of Hormuz before the ceasefire. Berkowitz notes that the administration's goals for the Iranian people became confused during operations. 71767

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-30-261893 HMS INFLEXIBLEThe Sloppy Memo of Understanding and Iran's Control of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer.Batchelor and Schanzer discuss a "sloppily" written Memo of Understanding that allows Iran to project control over the Strait of Hormuz. Schanzer notes that while shipping continues, markets remain anxious because Iran is effectively holding international energy hostage. He criticizes the international community's lack of response to this global threat. 1Indefinite IDF Deployments in the Levant and the Strengthening of Turkey. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Schanzer explains that the IDF will remain in Lebanon and Syria indefinitely to destroy Hezbollah's massive underground tunnel complexes. He notes that Marco Rubio negotiated a framework emphasizing Lebanese sovereignty. Additionally, Ambassador Tom Barrack is reportedly pressuring Israel while seeking to empower Turkey as Iran's regional influence weakens. 2Volkswagen Layoffs and the Debate Over German Military Conscription. Guest: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter. Judy Dempsey reports on the crisis at Volkswagen, where 100,000 workers face layoffs due to the global shift toward electric vehicles and Chinese competition. These layoffs will ripple through Germany's network of small suppliers. Thaddeus McCotter and Dempsey discuss how these economic shifts compare to the American auto industry's transformation. 3The Ankara NATO Summit and Ukraine's Offensive Against Russia. Guest: Judy Dempsey and Thaddeus McCotter. Dempsey and McCotter preview the NATO summit in Ankara, which Donald Trump may attend to reward President Erdoğan with fighter jets. The conversation highlights Ukraine's successful drone strikes on Russian refineries and resupply lines. Putin faces pressure from both domestic hawks and a population suffering under war-induced rationing. 4The Escalating Persecution of Christians Within the Islamic Republic of Iran. Guest: Mariam Wahba. Mariam Wahba describes how the Iranian regime is using current regional tensions as a pretext to clamp down on domestic Christians. The regime specifically targets converts, labeling them as "Zionist" mercenaries and national security threats. Imprisonment of Christians has surged sixfold as the regime seeks scapegoats for its international military setbacks. 5Iranian Drones and the Proxy War in the Sudan Conflict. Guest: Mariam Wahba. Wahba reports that Iranian drones are fueling a stalemate in Sudan's brutal civil war. Iran sells these weapons for revenue and to gain potential port access on the Red Sea near the Houthis. Egypt is intervening to prevent Islamist victories on its border, while the conflict devolves into a multi-power proxy war. 6Critiquing the 14-Point Memo of Understanding and Operation Epic Fury. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Peter Berkowitz analyzes the 14-point Memo of Understanding, contrasting Secretary Marco Rubio's "peace through strength" approach with Vice President JD Vance's "restraint." He argues "Operation Epic Fury" failed because it did not secure the Strait of Hormuz before the ceasefire. Berkowitz notes that the administration's goals for the Iranian people became confused during operations. 7Diplomatic Failures and the Unsuccessful Campaign to Quell Iran. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz criticizes the administration for failing to prepare the American public for the Iranian conflict through major policy speeches. He highlights a split between Vance's negotiations with Iran and Rubio's Israel-Lebanon framework. Finally, he compares the current MOU to failed Gaza deals, suggesting the IRGC will never abandon its core mission of war. 8The UK's Changing Guard: Andy Burnham and the Defense Budget Black Hole. Guest: Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley discusses the rise of Andy Burnham in Britain following Keir Starmer's "complete detachment" from the electorate. Burnham must address a massive 45-million-pound black hole in the defense budget. The discussion also covers the intractable problem of illegal immigration across the English Channel and the lack of cooperation from France. 9Chilly Conflicts and Fractured Leadership in the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley describes the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz as a "chilly conflict" where Iranian leadership remains fractured and indecisive. While supertankers sail through, both the US and Iran are using the ceasefire to rebuild their depleted arsenals. Copley notes that the IRGC is increasingly taking power away from Iran's clerical leadership. 10Global Defense Shifts in a Multipolar World and the End of Intervention. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley examines the shift toward a multipolar world as countries like Canada and Turkey reduce their dependency on US weapon systems. This "reversion to sovereignty" allows middle powers to play a more independent role. Copley observes that the US is stepping back from its role as the "cop on the beat" except in existential matters. 11King Charles III and the Revitalization of the Royal Navy. Guest: Gregory Copley. Copley highlights King Charles III's personal connection to the Royal Navy and his efforts to revitalize the service. Despite budget constraints, the UK is building new capital ships and submarines to maintain maritime power. The King's involvement is seen as crucial for maintaining military morale and national defense during periods of governmental incompetence. 12Disparate Impact, Merit-Based Admissions, and Federal Contracting Reforms. Guest: Michael Toth. Michael Toth discusses the historical use of "disparate impact" as a mechanism for discrimination in university admissions. He details the current administration's efforts to root out racial preferences in federal contracting. Toth argues for a return to merit-based standards to restore the principle of equal justice. 13The Mystery of Third-Party Litigation Finance and its Taxation. Guest: Michael Toth. Toth explains the emergence of third-party litigation finance, where external financial institutions fund tort cases against American companies. He notes this practice is uniquely American and creates a new market for legal conflict. Toth recommends that the Treasurytax these business gains at ordinary income rates rather than treating them as capital gains. 14Domestic Politics, Midterm Perils, and the SAVE Act. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the upcoming midterms, noting that Democrats have reframed "inflation" as "affordability" to distance themselves from economic policies. He discusses the internal "civil wars" within both parties, including the rise of Democratic Socialists and divisions within the MAGA movement. The "SAVE Act" is highlighted as the president's primary political solution. 15Affordability, Energy Prices, and the Short-Term Gains of Midterm Politics. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter observes that all foreign policy eventually becomes domestic, especially through the lens of energy costs. He warns that the administration might prioritize short-term gas price relief over long-term strategic interests in the Middle East. Consequently, providing sanctions relief to Iran could allow the regime to continue funding global terrorism and its nuclear program. 16

They explore why allies failed to rally around the United States, how the Strait of Hormuz became a political weapon, and why both ends of the political spectrum increasingly argue that America itself is the problem. Then they trace the radicalization of one young American activist as a window into the forces pulling at the country from the outside.  Later, Ron, Jay, and Hagar turn to corruption, transactional foreign policy, and where American leadership goes once the old institutions can no longer be rebuilt. They discuss: (5:01) What this war revealed about the limits of American power (6:41) Why allies didn't rally, and the Strait of Hormuz as a toll booth (8:34) The case that confrontation with Iran was inevitable (15:21) The left's turn: DSA, the Mamdani primaries, and a hollowing party (20:26) Populism meets foreign policy (25:52) The radicalization of Calla Walsh (35:02) Utopian movements and the dream of a perfectible world (39:09) The anti-war tradition versus foreign influence (46:30) The right's turn: JD Vance, Qatar, Pakistan, and the Quincy Institute (54:40) Transactionalism, corruption, and values that left the room (1:02:41) Anti-Semitism, legitimate debate, and the new litmus tests (1:09:47) What Israel does if American support collapses (1:13:12) The industrial complexes and their competing incentives (1:21:47) Iran's real motives and the lessons of the pallets of cash (1:33:49) Is this our Suez Canal moment?

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Mark Twain Award winner Bill Maher telling the press at the Kennedy Center how the rise of Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists is likely to doom Democrats' midterm election chances; the "Real Time with Bill Maher" audience being shocked by Bill Maher admitting to JD Vance that he is open to voting for a Republican president in the 2028 election; CNN's Harry Enten sharing new polling data that should scare the Democratic establishment and Chuck Schumer as even more incumbent Democrats face potential losses in their primaries to Democratic Socialists; Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy shocking Fox News' Jesse Watters by revealing that he is open to running against Zohran Mamdani to be the mayor of New York City; Zohran Mamdani telling ABC News' Jonathan Karl how the Democratic Socialists plan to use affordability to take over the Democratic Party and maybe even the presidency; Gavin Newsom immediately shifting to the left after the major wins of the Democratic Socialists by calling for a national billionaire tax to tax the rich and admitting to Brian Tyler Cohen that he's open to expanding the number of Supreme Court justices to 13; and much more.

The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 that ballots arriving after Election Day can still be counted — handing Democrats another way to turn Election Night into Election Week heading into the midterms. Pat breaks down exactly why this is a massive blow to common sense and election integrity. Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals to uphold Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to roll in up to five days later. Nearly 30 states have similar rules, and we have seen how this drags things out — especially in places like California. The majority held that federal law doesn't require ballots to arrive by Election Day, just get postmarked. Dissenting conservatives, including Alito, warned it undermines the whole point of a single Election Day. Pat also covered: Clarence Thomas at the Capitol: 'Meeting nobody' — brushes off reporter cold. Hakeem Jeffries losing control as socialists take over Democrats? Last day of Pride Month — Pat Gray: Are YOU celebrating? "Extreme weather demands sacrifice" — from everyone except EU executives. The Left heading toward MORE violence toward rich Americans. Do you trust that late ballots are always legit, or is this just asking for more problems? Should Election Day actually mean something again? Drop your thoughts below — Pat reads the comments.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.”  And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

The United States, taking orders from Benjamin Netanyahu, just restarted direct strikes on Iran after another choreographed flare-up in the Strait of Hormuz. The so-called ceasefire and all those high-level “peace” missions by JD Vance, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff were theater from the start.  

Al, Jase, and Zach admit that James' command to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry hits close to home, especially in a family where everyone learns early to speak up or get left out. The guys react to JD Vance turning questions about Iran into a public proclamation of Jesus, faith, and becoming the kind of man he knew he couldn't become without God. Jase connects a brutally honest New Orleans story and Little Man's spaghetti-night revelation to the aroma of Christ, the goodness of Jesus, and the kind of faith that moves from words into action.

This is an encore episode of 'The View' — new episodes return Monday, July 6. The View co-hosts weigh in on Britain's plan to ban children under 16 from social media following Prime Minister Keir Starmer's announcement of a major policy shift and question whether the United States should impose similar restrictions.                                               Vice President JD Vance joins the table to address the state of the economy under the Trump administration, sharing his view that “there's a lot more work to do” and that voters will ultimately decide in November whether the administration has done a good job. When pressed on the administration's immigration crackdown and use of ICE, he tells The View: “We do have to strike a balance, of course, between enforcing our laws. We don't want to dehumanize people.” 'The View' has welcomed your favorite guests for nearly 30 years. Now the FCC wants to control who is allowed to appear on the show.

JD Vance calls Catholic Social Teaching (CST) a "fully integrated theory of a good human life" — and he's not wrong that it sounds good. So how's he going to weaponize it? Matthew traces why CST's moral critique of capitalism, innovated by Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum (1891), is tailor-made for Vance's political project. CST may be sincere about human dignity, but it actively suppresses structural analysis, while opening two dangerous doors of moralism: scapegoating powerful enemies above, and blaming the poor for their own immiseration below.  Show Notes Rerum Novarum, Leo XIII (1891) Humanum Genus, Leo XIII (1884) Purusha Sukta, Rigveda 10.90 B.R.

Iran ceasefire violations, JD Vance on Bill Maher, the Venezuela earthquake, and Mike Johnson's DSA warning headline today's A.M. Update. The US strikes Iranian missile sites again after Iran fires on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, JD Vance tells Bill Maher Iran's nuclear program is functionally destroyed even without full inspections, and Aaron says nobody with a working brain is surprised Iran broke the truce. Venezuela's earthquake death toll climbs past 1,450 as rescue crews race against time, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to end temporary protected status for Haitian and Syrian nationals, and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine pushes back on CNN. Pete Buttigieg claims a politically motivated false CPS report targeted his family, and Aaron says the story doesn't add up either way. House Speaker Mike Johnson delivers a pointed warning about a wave of DSA-backed congressional candidates nationwide, reading directly from the Democratic Socialists of America's own platform, and Aaron lays out his theory that the fusion of Marxism and Islamism is functioning as a unifying anti-Christian ideology for the secular left. California State Senator Scott Wiener gets cursed out and driven off the stage at San Francisco's Trans March for not being radical enough, and Aaron uses the moment to revisit Wiener's legislative record, which he argues should disqualify him from being held up as any kind of moral or political role model. Aaron closes by calling out fringe online voices on the right who've descended into antisemitic conspiracy theory, saying that brand of "horseshoe theory" rot is squandering a real political opportunity.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack another extraordinary week inside Donald Trump's presidency, from a major Supreme Court victory that could dramatically expand presidential power to the increasingly blurred line between church and state, the political fallout from the fragile Iran ceasefire, and why Trump may once again escape the consequences of a foreign policy setback. They also dig into the mystery surrounding Natalie Harp, Trump's fiercely devoted "human printer," as new reporting catches up with revelations first explored by Wolff, examine why the New York Times is only now embracing the idea that Trump governs through obsession rather than strategy, debate Trump's latest fixation with the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and reveal the strange political calculations behind JD Vance's Nixon comparisons.

Tucker Carlson recently told a live audience there is “no chance” he will support the Republican Party going forward, saying a party that puts “the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens” no longer deserves his vote, despite the fact that he has long branded himself as a lifelong Republican voter and defender. Within a day he praised JD Vance as a “great” candidate and said he would support “the best person,” which the panel sees as a confusing pivot that leaves viewers unsure whether he is actually boycotting the GOP on principle or just repositioning himself above the party while still backing specific Republicans.

Episode 4160 │ June 27, 2026 A chairman for life, $17 billion unaudited, and a founding member the ICC wants for killing children. They call it, The Board of Peace. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Dispatch Two of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump follows the permission structure documented in Dispatch One into the architecture behind it — tracing the Board of Peace, a privately governed institution chaired for life by President Trump with $17 billion in unaudited sovereign donations held at JP Morgan, no democratic accountability, and a founding member who accepted his seat by phone because Switzerland was legally obligated to arrest him for crimes against humanity if he landed, and the Pentagon technology architecture now being consolidated under a civilian whose own words name Peter Thiel's Palantir as the future of American defense. Scott Kesterson then maps the Peter Thiel network — co-founder of PayPal, Facebook's first outside investor, founder of Palantir, co-founder of the Dialog Society that has operated secretly for 20 years, funder of JD Vance's Senate campaign, and publisher of the 2009 essay stating democracy and freedom are incompatible — against the documented placements of Thiel-connected figures throughout the Trump administration, the Pentagon AI architecture, and the Board of Peace. The episode closes with the Brumaire mechanism named precisely: the most sophisticated influence operation is not the one that lies about the problem — it is the one that tells the truth about the problem and controls the map to the solution. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  What is the Board of Peace — who chairs it for life, who holds its $17 billion in unaudited donations, why could one of its founding members only accept his seat by phone, and where does the $400 million Qatari aircraft go when Trump leaves office? What is the documented relationship between Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Emil Michael at the Pentagon, Palantir's AI targeting architecture, and the Dialog Society — and what does Thiel's own published statement that democracy and freedom are incompatible mean for the institutions being dismantled around it? What is the Brumaire mechanism — and how does the pattern Marx documented in 1852 France, that Paine lived and nearly died for, map onto the America First movement's energy being used to demolish the institutional architecture that constrained the very billionaire class the movement was supposed to challenge?

Sam, Dylan, and Dark Smith are back to break down: Dark Smith's job interview to become an escort and the loofah-color swinger code of Florida's villages, the Boyle Heights fire spilling Freon and ammonia while firefighters spray a blaze they can't reach (and the owner being a Karen Bass donor), a documentary trying to abolish the Electoral College, the deep origins of the Vatican built on top of Vatican Hill, the pagan goddess Cybele and the Anatolian mother god Magna Mater brought to Rome via the prophetic Sibylline Books after Hannibal's slaughter at Cannae, the blood-baptism bull-sacrifice rituals later dug up by archaeologists, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls" and its cannibal cult, the serpent-shaped Vatican auditorium and the Pope's fish-head mitre tied to the Babylonian fish god Dagon (who turns out to be Godzilla), Sam's pitch for roller derby as the next great pro sport, the Iran war being "over" again with IAEA inspectors as the "milestone" achieved by undoing the milestone, Israel allegedly trying to assassinate the negotiators before Trump called them off, Nicki Minaj's distraction-death theory, JD Vance's Thiel-engineered glow-up, the Albanians tearing their country apart over Jared and Ivanka's island and Sam's theory it's about controlling the Strait of Otranto, the nu-metal psyop, military stock buybacks instead of R&D, Bezos prioritizing AI water over "baseline human comfort," and a woman who lost ten years of memory from straining too hard on the toilet.

Donald Trump cancels the signing of a landmark bipartisan housing bill at the last minute, saying he won't approve it until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot. Jon and Dan react to the President's decision and the Republican caucus's angry reaction to it, then turn to Tuesday's primary elections, where three DSA-aligned candidates won in New York City, and discuss JD Vance's attempts to charm Rupert Murdoch … and his own wife. Then, Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in Texas, stops by the studio to talk to Jon about what it'll take to unseat Governor Greg Abbott.

Vice President JD Vance has been given a job no one really wants: ending the incredibly unpopular Iran war. He's been tasked with leading negotiations with Iranian counterparts to find a lasting solution that he thinks could QUOTE “transform the Middle East.” But there are many, many obstacles in his way. And as the US and Iran attempt to hammer out not just an end to the war, but a new nuclear deal, President Trump seems markedly uninterested in the whole thing. So for more on the mess that is trying to end the Iran war, we spoke with Tommy Vietor. He's the co-host of Crooked Media's Pod Save the World.And in headlines, Moscow's Defense Ministry says Ukraine launched a major Thursday night attack, ex-national security adviser John Bolton pleads guilty to a single count of illegally retaining national defense information, and New York City approves a rent freeze on one- and two-year leases for people living in about 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.Show Notes: Check out Pod Save The World – www.youtube.com/@podsavetheworld Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine a White House that suddenly looks far less invincible, as Donald Trump lashes out at Republican senators, alienates allies he desperately needs, and faces growing signs that even the MAGA movement is beginning to question his leadership. They unpack Tucker Carlson's remarkable break with Trump, why JD Vance may be quietly positioning himself for what comes next, the political fallout from the Iran conflict, Pete Hegseth's shake-up of America's military leadership, and the surprising rise of Zohran Mamdani's influence inside the Democratic Party. From Trump's increasingly erratic behavior to the shifting alliances forming around him, this episode traces the cracks spreading through both parties as the 2028 race begins to take shape.

Y'all. Wednesday was not a weird day for this administration. It was a normal day, and that is the whole problem.Donald Trump canceled a bipartisan housing bill that would have lowered rent for millions of people. He killed the signing ceremony hours before it happened because he wants Congress to pass the SAVE Act first. That is voter suppression dressed up as a national emergency. He is holding your housing relief hostage. And his own supporters are in the replies typing thank you, daddy like that is a normal response to a man torching your rent relief.Same day he got into a screaming match with a Republican senator, called him a lunatic, then asked Congress for another eighty seven point six billion dollars for his Iran war that nobody voted for and that even Tucker Carlson is now calling him weak over. He threw himself a Ferris wheel party on the National Mall for America's two hundred fiftieth birthday while the Reflecting Pool stayed green behind him. The Supreme Court handed him a win that makes it easier to strand asylum seekers in danger over a technicality about which side of an imaginary line their toes are touching. My home state of Tennessee put up a granite headstone for fetuses on the Capitol lawn while ranking forty seventh in the country at keeping actual mothers alive.And the Democrats spent the week calling the candidates their own voters are actually excited about dirtbags.This episode goes through every receipt. The housing bill hostage situation. The court losses that forced him to Plan B. The Iran war bill. The self inflicted birthday party. The Supreme Court rulings that will get people killed. Tennessee's monument to control. And why the Democratic establishment is more afraid of its own base than it is of any of this. Let's go. Keywords: Trump housing bill, SAVE Act, voter suppression, thank you daddy, MAGA replies, Iran war funding, Supreme Court metering, asylum seekers, border policy, Tennessee maternal mortality, Monument to Unborn Children, Democratic socialists, John Fetterman, dirtbag left, democratic socialists primaries, Trump fitness, Reflecting Pool green, America 250, JD Vance, presidential chaosSupport the show with no ads and no sponsors at patreon.com/wesawthedevil.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) returns to the Daily Beast Podcast to break down why he believes America is repeating the same costly mistakes in the Middle East, what years of combat taught him about war, and why he says the latest agreement with Iran leaves the U.S. weaker than before. Rep. Crow tells Joanna Coles what Republican lawmakers tell him behind closed doors about Donald Trump, explains why he thinks Congress has abandoned its constitutional responsibilities, and lays out his plan to investigate what he calls the Trump family's unprecedented corruption if Democrats retake the House. Plus, he weighs in on Pete Hegseth, JD Vance's role inside the administration, and the symbolism behind Trump's sweeping changes to Washington that he argues reveal far more than politics.

As the gases slowly leak from Trump's orifices and IV holes, the bright flame of his inspiration to MAGA Christians is fading. Did he drain the swamp? Prosecute the pedophiles? Save the Holy Land? Lower gas prices? Give all the grill dads better health care? What was all the speaking in tongues for? JD Vance has an answer for the MAGA faithful: another memoir, another rebrand that turns to the device that made Hillbilly Elegy a smash hit, and the worst book ever: the gall to turn his personal and familial despair into the diagnosis of an entire culture, in Appalachia.  With Communion: Finding my Way back to Faith, Vance plays the same narcissistic trick: turning his lifelong journey through rightwing American Chrisitianity—with a short and shameful detour into New Atheism—to land in the Catholic faith of Leonard Leo, sketching out a redemption plan for every bro seeking their way home.  Show Notes Rerum Novarum (1891) — Pope Leo XIII Elizabeth Catte, What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia Appalachian Reckoning — Anthony Harkins and Meredith McCarroll, eds.

Donald Trump says the Reflecting Pool will need to be drained for repairs to the coating he said would "last for at least 50 years" — blaming vandals for the peeling and algae blooms that have turned his pet project into an instant mess, and ordering federal agents to start making arrests.

Then, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan join Tommy to discuss their new book, "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," which offers an unparalleled look inside Trump's second term.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
