Democrat Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner claims that he didn't know he got a Nazi tattoo in 2007 while serving as a U.S. Marine, saying on “Pod Save America” that he was “very inebriated” and “chose a terrifying skull and crossbones off the wall because we were Marines and skulls and crossbones are a pretty standard military thing.” “The Democrats are in a quandary. The old guard of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, are very worried about this young group of more radical, Jacobin, younger people who want to shut down the government … “The problem that these people have is they are not in the mainstream of American politics. And so, they have said things in their past before they were candidates—sometimes during—that are incompatible with the majority of Americans' views on what denotes proper behavior and conduct of a politician or an official. “For example, Mr. Platner in Maine … “It was the exact replica, facsimile of the Totenkopf, death's head, emblem of the 3rd SS-Waffen Division in World War II, a division that was made up of former, at least in its 1939-41 inception, former death camp guards and special Einsatzgruppen group killers of Jews,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Welcome to Citizen McCain! Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@CitizenMcCainYouTube. Today we dive into a packed lineup: Maine Senate uproar: Democrat Graham Platner's chest tattoo resembles the Nazi Totenkopf; he defends it as a random marine-liberty skull. We dissect the story, the Pod Save interview, and why this “drunken tattoo” defense doesn't wash. Heist of the year: The Louvre jewel robbery and the alleged “Pink Panther” gang... how did thieves waltz out at 9:30am? Royal reckoning: With Lady Sarah Elliott on Prince Andrew's titles (what “not using” actually means), Fergie's duchess fallout, and how William may slim down the monarchy. We also talk Harry & Meghan's rumored return and Kate's recovery. Guest interview: Erika Donalds (AFPI; founder, OptimaEd) on school choice, Florida's next chapter, juvenile justice, being an interracial conservative family, and why the left's identity attacks keep flopping. Media & culture: Jen Psaki's book-tour spin on Biden's cognition, Dem messaging drift, DNC/RNC energy, Obama library aesthetics, and that eyebrow-raising Kristen Bell/Dax Shepard anniversary caption. Annabelle update: Viewer Emily meets the infamous doll at ScareFest and tells us what the setup was like, whether anything… followed her home, and why the case is staying shut.

President Trump travels to Israel and Egypt to celebrate the return of the hostages and the end of military operations in Gaza. Tommy and Lovett react to the ceasefire, discuss what's next for Gaza, Israel, and Benjamin Netanyahu, and debate how much credit Trump deserves for brokering this peace deal. Then they turn to ICE's latest violence against immigrants and protesters, a new attack on constitutionally protected free speech at The Pentagon, and the latest from the ongoing government shutdown. Then, Leah Greenberg, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, discusses this weekend's upcoming No Kings protests and Republicans' attempt to paint them as a "hate America" rally.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The government shutdown is the Democrats' first big strategic bet of Trump's term.Not everyone in the party agreed that shutting down the government was the right move or that health care was the right message. So why did they ultimately pick this fight? What are the risks? And what could Democrats learn here that might help shape their strategy for the midterms and beyond?Jon Favreau, a former Obama speechwriter and a current co-host of “Pod Save America,” joins me to discuss.Mentioned:"Off Message” by Brian Beutler“What the Shutdown Is Really About” by Ezra KleinBook Recommendations:Civil Resistance by Erica ChenowethStride Toward Freedom by Martin Luther King Jr.The Radical Fund by John Fabian WittThoughts?

This week has been… a lot. On Thursday, Israel's cabinet approved the first phase of a peace agreement between Hamas and Israel, which would end the fighting in Gaza and return all Israeli hostages, living and dead. But the news didn't stop there – with President Donald Trump threatening National Guard deployments in both Chicago and Portland, and both cities responding by heading to court. And don't forget, we're in the second week of a government shutdown with no end in sight. To unpack it all, we spoke to Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor.And in headlines, a federal judge temporarily blocks the President's National Guard deployment in Chicago, the CDC quietly updates its COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for pregnant women, and trick-or-treaters this year might find their bags less full of chocolate and more full of gum.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save America – https://tinyurl.com/4829tpp9Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Donald Trump orders National Guard troops to Chicago and Portland, making good on his promise to generals to use American cities as "training grounds." Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss the court order—issued by a Trump-appointed judge—that blocked the deployment in Portland, the military-style immigration raids that rocked Chicago last week, and the signals that Stephen Miller and the rest of the Trump administration are sending about what's next for blue America. Then, the guys check in on the ongoing government shutdown, react to Trump's unexpected hint that he may be willing to negotiate with Democrats on healthcare subsidies, and discuss what it'll take for Prop 50—California's redistricting response act—to pass in November. Then, Ben Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Semafor and host of the Mixed Signals podcast, joins Tommy to talk about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News, the right's attack on free speech and Jimmy Kimmel, and the future of network media.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

This week, Sali sits down with Shaniqua McClendon, a political strategist, commentator, and the Vice President of Politics for Crooked Media. Shaniqua has spent her career in politics—starting with an internship in the Obama White House, followed by stints with several elected officials. In 2018, she joined Crooked Media—a company most known for its suite of popular podcasts, including Pod Save America—in a role that's focused heavily on its Vote Save America initiative. It's here where Shaniqua's work has been making incredible strides to drive voters into action, in both the biggest elections nationwide and on local levels. To date, she's helped raise over $70 million for progressive causes and candidates, and driven nearly a million people to register to vote or check their registration.At a time when political angst is high, Shaniqua's background has prepared her to meet this moment, and she shares it all—highs and lows—in today's episode, including:how witnessing Hurricane Katrina moved her to work in politics.landing a job on The Hill—what she considers her late mother's final gift to her.the “pay it forward” lesson that's left a lasting impression.why she considers attending the Harvard Kennedy School to be some of the most difficult years of her life.getting hired at Crooked Media…even if in a rather undefined role at first.launching a new vision of Vote Save America, and so much more.On Sali: Argent Chelsea Blazer, Tank, and Prince TrouserOn Shaniqua: Argent Scoop Neck Double-Breasted Dress Work Friends CreditsHosted by Sali Christeson @salichristesonProduced by Gina Marinelli @ginaalilbitEdited by Ryan WoldoffTheme Song by Karina DePiano @sheplaysdepiano & Melanie Nyema @melanienyemaRecorded at Podstream Studio @podstreamstudioWork Friends is produced by ARGENT (www.argentwork.com), a women's clothing label on a mission to redefine workwear and drive forward women's progress.

We haven't caught up with Democratic voters since the summer. So, who do they see in the Democratic Party who is distinguishing themselves? And, do Democratic voters really want to shut down the government? It turns out some of them are really wrestling with how to wield power. Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of Pod Save America and author of the Substack newsletter The Message Box joins Sarah to download on how the base of the party is feeling.

After Republicans refuse to negotiate with Democrats on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, the government shuts down. Dan and Alex Wagner, Pod Save America's newest contributor, discuss what Democrats will need to do to hold the line; Project 2025 architect Russ Vought's attacks on blue states and federal employees; and the Democratic-Republican messaging fight that's devolved into an AI-fueled meme war. Then, the two break down Trump's threats — and Hegseth's grievances — at an unprecedented meeting of the military's top brass, Trump's new political demands for universities, and some much-needed good news about free speech, Fed Chair Lisa Cook, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Disney reverses course and announces, despite pressure from the FCC, Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air. President Trump, speaking at the White House, declares — without scientific evidence — that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes autism. The DOJ shuts down an FBI investigation into border czar Tom Homan, who was caught, on tape, accepting a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag. Favreau, Lovett, and Tommy react to it all and discuss Charlie Kirk's NFL stadium memorial service, Sen. Ted Cruz's departure from the MAGA-majority on free speech, and Trump's latest Watergate-level corruption scandal—the firing of a US Attorney who refused to charge Trump's enemies with crimes they did not commit. Then, Sen. Elizabeth Warren stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about the Democratic Party's impending government shutdown fight.

Trump's FBI raids the home of John Bolton—the former first-term Trump advisor turned vocal critic—as the President escalates his use of state power to target and threaten anyone who's criticized him, most recently Chris Christie, Wes Moore, ABC News, and NBC News. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to those threats and all of this week's fascist horrors, including the arming of the National Guard in D.C., the administration's pending deployment of troops to Chicago, and ICE's plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man they wrongly sent to CECOT, to Uganda unless he pleads guilty to a set of dubious charges brought against him in Tennessee. Then, economic writer James Surowiecki sits down with Lovett to talk about the Trump administration's unprecedented acquisition of Intel stock—and what it signals to other major companies.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Are we (am I) “stuck in honoring the context of the social media platform,” that is podcasting? Is there a way not to be trapped in playing the commercial game? Did Joe and Duncan sell out, or did their platforms just capture them? I discuss some of the accusations leveled in “Comedy Jonestown” and Marc Maron's recent appearance on Pod Save America. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chrisryan.substack.com/subscribe

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (08/20/2025): 3:05pm- California Governor Gavin Newsom is now mimicking President Donald Trump's social media style. For example, after Dana Perino critiqued his strategy to garner attention, Newsom's press office posted to X: “DANA ‘DING DONG' PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM! FOX HATES THAT I AM AMERICA'S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR (‘RATINGS KING') SAVING AMERICA—WHILE TRUMP CAN'T EVEN CONQUER THE ‘BIG' STAIRS ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE!!! TRUMP HAS “LOST HIS STEP” AND FOX IS LOSING IT BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE, AMERICA NOW WINS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.” While outlets like Pod Save America and Politico praise the posts, are they going to help win Newsom any support in 2028? Unlikely. 3:30pm- Rich is taping at Fox News on Friday and is on vacation next week. And when he comes back, he'll be preempted for a Philadelphia Phillies broadcast—consequently, it is possible Rich will be able to break his own record for shortest radio show in 1210 WPHT history. His previous record was 13-minutes! 3:50pm- Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Berman has rejected the Justice Department's request to release grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein. 4:05pm- On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited National Guard troops who were placed at Union Station in Washington, D.C. as part of the Trump Administration's efforts to reduce violent crime in the nation's capital. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller commented on protesters in opposition to the crime crackdown: "We're going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old." 4:25pm- During a Wednesday Zoom conversation, Texas Representative Nicole Collier was informed that she was needed on the Texas House floor to participate in a vote on redistricting. Collier fled the state earlier this month in an attempt to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting and halting a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response to Collier's forced departure from the Zoom meeting, Sen. Cory Booker screamed: “freaking outrageous!” 4:30pm- In response to Hurricane Erin, Governor Phil Murphy said: "I don't want to be the Amityville mayor from Jaws, but the fact of the matter is, I think going in the ocean for the next number of days is something you got to avoid.” 4:45pm- Rep. Eric Swalwell posted a video of himself buying groceries. At least he's buying cheese now instead of cutting it on television! Matt plays his favorite audio: Swalwell's gassy appearance on MSNBC with Chris Matthews from 2019. 5:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to break down some of the best (and worst) moments from corporate media and Democrats. PLUS, NewsBusters celebrates its 20th birthday with a compilation of the craziest clips from the last two decades! 5:30pm- While speaking with Miranda Devine, EPA Director Lee Zeldin revealed that since taking office he has unearthed examples of billions of dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act being sent to several NGOs with conflicting interests/ties to the Obama and Biden Administrations. 6:00pm- Judge Announces Wrong Verdict in Murder Case: A Fulton County jury acquitted Alton Oliver of murdering off-duty Deputy James Thomas, agreeing he acted out of fear after repeated late-night advances and confrontations. In court, however, Judge Henry M. Newkirk mistakenly read the verdict as “guilty” before being corrected that the official verdict form declared Oliver “not guilty” on all counts. 6:10pm- Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan (a Democrat appointee) was arrested after refusing to leave a restaurant. In the viral video, Flanagan—who appears to be intoxic ...

Following an unproductive day of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders to discuss a potential deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Favreau, Lovett, and Tommy discuss the meetings, the MAGA press corp's bizarre questions for Zelensky, and Trump's latest Putin-inspired fixation—eliminating mail in ballots. Then, they react to Republican governors sending armed troops to DC, ICE saying the quiet part out loud, and Governor Newsom's new social media strategy. To close the show, Bridget Brink, the former United States Ambassador to Ukraine, joins Tommy to talk about Ukraine's reaction to Trump's unusual approach to peace talks.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

John welcomes Pod Save America cohost, Message Box author, and former top Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer back to the show to discuss the burgeoning competition to be the face of the Democratic Party's future. Pfeiffer assesses the risks and rewards of California governor Gavin Newsom's redistricting gambit for his presidential ambitions; the efforts of Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker to make his billionaire status tolerable to the populist base of his party; and the communication skills of thirtysomething rising stars Zohran Mamdani and James Talarico. Dan also answers the question on the lips of Democrats everywhere: Seven months into Trump 2.0, just how fucked are we?

After his appearance last week on “Pod Save America,” Pete Buttigieg attracted incoming fire over his response to a question about Gaza — an answer which critics thought was especially mealy-mouthed. This morning, in an exclusive interview for Playbook, Buttigieg clears the air — and offers the latest sign of just how much opinions within the Democratic Party are shifting on Israel and Gaza. Playbook's Adam Wren and Dasha Burns talk it through. Plus, the latest on tomorrow's Trump-Putin meeting, and Dasha talks through her latest scoop on Susie Wiles and Laura Loomer.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.insurgentspod.comPete Buttigieg recently appeared on Pod Save America and, among other things, spoke about how the Democratic Party should respond to Israel's humanitarian disaster in Gaza. For some, these comments fell very short of the mark. To talk about this, and more (including a fascinating digression into the Nixon years) Indiana's own Bryce Greene joined the sho…

Palestinians mourn an Al Jazeera journalist killed amid ongoing violence. Matt Gaetz claims he returned to his hotel room in Israel to find a fellow member of Congress and an “AIPAC guy” already inside.

It's a Monday Fun Day on the Majority Report where the fun is rare, but you can't deny it is Monday.  We open with a good news - bad news situation. The good news is violent crime in Washington DC has a hit a 30-year low. Bad news is Trump is declaring DC under federal control and deploying the National Guard. We are joined by Palestinian-Canadian emergency room physician, Dr. Tarek Loubani who is currently volunteering at Nasser hospital in Gaza. It's a harrowing interview but we must bear witness to the terror our tax dollars are funding. Check out Emma's interview with Dr. Loubani from last year. In the Fun Half: Pete Buttigieg uses his signature brand of meaningless corporate consultant talk to the topic of Israel on Pod Save America. Rep Bryan Steil (R-WI) gets heckled out of the building during his town hall. Israel assassinated 5 more journalists, never in history have we seen a country target the press like this. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a segment on Chuck Schumer's imaginary best friends, "The Baileys". Maybe one of the LWT writers are MR fans? Patrick Bet-David uses every ounce of his very limited broadcasting ability to spin a report that shows how monumentally unpopular Elon Musk and Donald Trump are. ICE and CBP claim being brown qualifies as reasonable suspicion and GOP Latinos are starting to feel the pressure that they voted for. All that and more plus phone calls and IMs The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

Texas Democrats, in an attempt to block Trump's redistricting effort, shut down a special legislative session by fleeing the state. Texas State Rep. James Talarico joins the show to explain what happens now and why he and his Democratic colleagues believe that getting out of town is the best way to serve their constituents in this moment. Then, Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison, new reporting about who's sending all those annoying fundraising texts, and, of course, Trump's comments on the most important story of the moment: Sydney Sweeney's jeans.

Donald Trump splits with Benjamin Netanyahu and acknowledges that Gaza is experiencing "real starvation"—but will he pressure Israel to end the war and allow more aid in? Lovett, Favreau, and Tommy react to the latest developments in Gaza, Trump's shifting and typically incoherent comments on the situation, and why it's time for Democrats to change their approach to Israel. Then, they dive into Trump's new story about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and check in on that "free" plane he received from the Qatari government. Later, Tommy sits down with Israeli journalist Amir Tibon to discuss how the aid shortages in Gaza got so bad, and how Israel's far right influences Netanyahu. Get tickets to CROOKED CON November 6-7 in Washington, D.C at crookedcon.com

Megyn Kelly breaks down the horrifying NYC mass shooting that left one NYPD officer dead, the shooter's reported mental health issues, whether the NFL was the intended target given the note that was found with him, and more. Then Buck Sexton, co-host of "The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show," joins to discuss the NYC shooter's claim of possible football-related CTE, how he kept his firearms despite red flags, why the left wants to focus on gun violence now that the shooter isn't a white man, whether the tragic shooting in NYC will wake New Yorkers up to a potential Zohran Mamdani win, Mamdani's past outrageous comments about the police, and more. Then Aaron Mate, independent journalist, joins to discuss how the Russiagate hoax is deeper than we knew, how new documents cast doubt that Russia even hacked the DNC, the real reason establishment elites teamed with the Democrats and corporate media to spread the Russiagate hoax, what we now know about intel community collusion with the Clinton campaign, how the Pod Save America hosts are trying to spin the bombshell Russiagate news, the left refusing to admit to the Democrat-led propaganda campaign to sabotage Trump before his presidency began, and more.Sexton- https://www.youtube.com/@BuckSextonMaté- https://www.aaronmate.net/Lean: Visit https://TakeLean.com & use code MK20 for 20% offTax Network USA: Call 1-800-958-1000 or visit https://TNUSA.com/MEGYNto speak with a strategist for FREE todayGrand Canyon University: https://GCU.eduGround News: Go to https://groundnews.com/megyn for 40% off the Vantage subscription and find the truth mainstream media doesn't want you to see. Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at:https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

As Trump's pressure campaigns target universities, media outlets, and private companies, Jon is joined by former US Attorney Preet Bharara, host of "Stay Tuned with Preet," and Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of "Pod Save America" and author of "Message Box." Together, they examine the tools available to presidents to coerce independent institutions, explore the loopholes in our democratic guardrails that enable such pressure, and consider whether a future Democratic administration could—or should—repair the vulnerabilities Trump is exploiting or use them for its own purposes.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- In a profanity-laced interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan, Hunter Biden lashed out at the Democratic Party for forcing his father to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election—specifically George Clooney and the Pod Save America hosts. During the interview, Hunter also denied being responsible for the cocaine found at the White House during his father's presidency and referred to Donald Trump as a “dictator thug.” In response to the interview, Pod Save America co-host and former Obama aide Tommy Vietor said: "You should be ashamed of the ways in which you made your father's political life worse! And, like, the idea that we're going to listen to you now — like, give me a f*cking break!” He also stated that Hunter was only on the board of Burisma because of Joe Biden. 6:15pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office, President Trump discussed the release of declassified documents suggesting the Obama Administration manufactured intelligence for the 2016 Russian interference narrative. 6:30pm- While appearing on Fox News with Shannon Bream, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said he doesn't believe releasing grand jury testimony from the Epstein case will yield very many answers. In a separate interview, Dershowitz speculated that Epstein may have killed himself “with the help of jailers.” 6:40pm- Failed Senate candidate (2018), failed presidential candidate (2020), and failed gubernatorial candidate (2022) Beto O'Rourke is back…but why???

Desperate to distract from the Epstein scandal, Donald Trump posts an AI-generated video of the FBI arresting Barack Obama—as DNI Tulsi Gabbard unveils a new MAGA conspiracy theory about Obama and Russiagate.

MAGA's Epstein revolt keeps growing — and despite Donald Trump's pleas, it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. Elected officials get their first look inside “Alligator Alcatraz” and report seeing “disturbing, vile conditions.” Trump reverses his stance on Ukraine, issuing Putin a 50-day ultimatum. Favreau and Tommy break down the Jeffrey Epstein drama that erupted at the Turning Point USA Summit over the weekend; Trump's new tariff threats against Russia, the European Union, and Brazil; and a new court ruling that could upend ICE operations in Los Angeles. They also discuss the timing of Biden's New York Times autopen interview and J.D. Vance's weekend trip to Disneyland, which featured an embarrassing video of the vice president attempting to run.

Right-wing influencers and conspiracy theorists lose it over a Justice Department memo that says there's no evidence Jeffrey Epstein had a “client list” or blackmailed his associates. Criticism of DOGE's cuts to the National Weather Service resurface after catastrophic floods hit central Texas. In a Fourth of July ceremony, President Trump signs his disastrous economic plan into law. Jon and Tommy break down the Medicaid cuts, ICE funding, and the highly unusual tax breaks that made it into the final “Big Beautiful Bill.” Then they check in on Elon Musk's growing threat to launch a new political party, and they discuss Kilmar Abrego Garcia's allegation that he was tortured in El Salvador's CECOT megaprison.

Senate Republicans jam through a final vote on the so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill." Senator Chris Murphy steps away from the Senate floor to join Tommy and Lovett to talk about Republican Senator Tom Thillis's unexpected opposition to the bill, the Medicaid cuts that sparked it, and what the bill's passage would mean for Americans' wallets (you guessed it: more money for the rich, less for the poor). Then, Tommy and Lovett discuss Trump's trip to "Alligator Alcatraz," a new migrant detention facility in the middle of the Everglades, the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision ending the practice of nationwide injunctions, and the White House doubling down on their claim that airstrikes "totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Donald Trump, without consulting Congress or United States allies, orders the military to bomb Iran, and then claims that Iran and Israel have reached a ceasefire. Military and intelligence services push back on Trump's claims that Iran's three nuclear sites have been "completely and totally obliterated." MAGA isolationists change their tone to avoid Trump's ire. Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan react to all the latest, including reports that nuclear material may have been removed before the attacks, Iran's retaliatory strikes on an American military installation in Qatar, and Trump's new posts indicating he may be open to regime change. Then, the guys walk through Democrats' response to the attacks, the latest from Trump's ongoing National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, and a New York City mayoral primary that's both frustrating and exciting.

Trump's long-planned birthday parade gets overshadowed by massive "No Kings" protests around the country and the cold-blooded murder of a prominent Minnesota lawmaker and her husband. Meanwhile, Israel launches a preemptive war against Iran—a war that Trump hasn't quite ruled out joining. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss the weekend's competing optics, the deeply troubling rise of political violence in America, and the latest offering from the Trump family hucksters: a shiny gold smartphone from the newly founded Trump Mobile. Then, Jon talks with Maryland Governor Wes Moore about his political future, why he vetoed a reparations bill, and the role that governors can play in this dangerous moment.
