Oct 16, 2026 · 1h 14m

Summary

Dan and John analyze the 2024 midterms, noting that Republican super PACs are abandoning House races and focusing on defending redistricted districts, signaling a potential "blue tsunami." They discuss Trump's damaging rallies, his recent attacks on allies, and the growing voter concern over government corruption, which is now rivaling inflation as a top issue. The episode also covers the firing of White House press secretary Katie Zachariah, the exit of ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, and the administration's legal assault on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
