Trump's Explosive Diarrhea of the Mouth

In This Episode

Trump delivers an incomprehensible prime-time address to push election interference conspiracy theories, both old and new. Dan and Jon attempt to make sense of the speech and discuss what Trump’s focus on election interference could spell for the midterms. They check in on three major corrupdates from the last 48 hours — Kalshi teleprompter bets, early access to Trump’s Truths for Wall Street, and JD Vance using his helicopter for his son’s golf lessons — as well as Vance’s awkward appearance on Joe Rogan and Pete Hegseth’s attempt to get the military on testosterone supplements. Then, Abdul El-Sayed talks to Alex Wagner about his heated primary for Michigan’s Democratic Senate nomination.
