Trump could lose everything as alarming video emerges
Summary
David Pakman issues a "red alert" urging voters to act as polls show Democrats have a significant chance to flip both the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms. He analyzes Trump’s refusal to endorse JD Vance for 2028, arguing the President is leveraging his endorsement to maintain control over the Republican party. The episode also covers Trump dozing off at a 9/11 memorial, his threats to the Federal Reserve, and a surge of scandals including the Kennedy Center’s financial collapse, Don Jr.’s Russian-funded wedding, and new EPA pollution deregulations.
