Summary

Erickson discusses a Washington Post report revealing President Trump used a decoy plane to evade Iranian assassination threats, criticizing the press for focusing on their exclusion rather than the danger. He argues that supporting scandal-plagued GOP candidates like Max Miller and Corey Mills jeopardizes the party’s November election prospects. Erickson suggests Trump may prefer a Democratic Congress to create political opposition for his re-election campaign. The segment concludes with news of falling chicken prices due to oversupply, offering potential inflation relief for consumers.
