War Crimes

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Trump’s latest spiral after posting 160 times on Truth Social and then appearing to fall asleep in a cabinet meeting. They examine the escalating “Double Tap” scandal, from Pete Hegseth’s shifting explanations to sharp criticism from Megyn Kelly, Brit Hume, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul as Republicans contradict themselves in real time. The hosts also dig into Trump’s shocking pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and his commutation of private-equity CEO David Gentile, highlighting the uproar over freeing major drug traffickers and white-collar criminals. Kander and Gupta then turn to the National Guard shooting involving an Afghan asylee, breaking down the rigorous vetting process, the mental-health failures that followed, and why this was a support-system breakdown rather than an immigration failure.

Jason Kander and Stephen Webber break down the controversy surrounding the emerging “Trump peace plan” for Ukraine, as reports reveal it began as a Russian wish list before being reshaped by the Trump administration. They discuss Ukraine’s tentative buy-in, the looming fight over territorial concessions, and the backlash to leaked audio of Trump ally Steve Witkoff coaching a Russian counterpart on how to sway Trump. Kander and Webber also look at the escalating dispute over illegal orders, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s abrupt retirement, growing GOP turmoil on Capitol Hill, and new warnings from Steve Bannon about Trump’s AI agenda. Plus, they touch on the dismissals of the Comey and McCabe cases and Harry Enten’s view that Democrats won the shutdown fight.

Ravi Gupta and Stephen Webber break down Congress’s explosive vote to release the Epstein files as Trump abruptly reverses course at the last minute, raising questions about whether compromising material is being withheld. They analyze accusations from Mark Epstein that the files are already being scrubbed, Rep. Thomas Massie’s threat to read names on the House floor, and the sweeping disclosure requirements included in the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Kander and Gupta also dive into the political chaos surrounding Speaker Mike Johnson’s demand for last-minute changes that the Senate flatly rejected, Trump’s meltdown when pressed on why he didn’t release the files himself, and the escalating infighting on the right—from MTG’s attacks on Trump to Megyn Kelly’s soft-pedaling of Epstein’s crimes to new reporting that the White House intervened on behalf of Andrew Tate. Plus, they discuss the stunning court ruling striking down Texas’s redistricting maps after a DOJ-induced legal fiasco.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the explosive release of newly uncovered Jeffrey Epstein emails, including messages referencing Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell that raise fresh questions about what the former president knew and when. They analyze the media and political fallout, how these revelations intersect with ongoing legal scrutiny, and what Epstein’s 2019 emails to journalist Michael Wolff reveal about his ties to Mar-a-Lago. Kander and Gupta also unpack the end of the government shutdown and whether Democrats “caved.” Plus, they dive into Trump’s eyebrow-raising interview with Laura Ingraham on inflation, and the escalating MAGA civil war—Ben Shapiro feuding with Megyn Kelly, right-wing influencers accusing each other of betrayal, and prominent conservatives warning of a full-blown ideological collapse.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Democrats’ dominating victories in Virginia and New Jersey, where early returns and strong turnout have analysts like Harry Enten and Dave Wasserman predicting Democrats could be favored to retake the House in 2026. They unpack how the results exposed cracks in the GOP coalition, with MAGA influencers blaming “weak” Republican candidates and moderates pointing to Trump’s shutdown chaos and record-low approval rating of -18%. Kander and Gupta also examine how Democratic leaders from Gavin Newsom to Bill Ferguson framed the victories as proof that competence and optimism still win, even as Republicans melted down online over their losses. Plus, they analyze the high-stakes Supreme Court case that could unravel Trump’s global tariffs, what it means for the U.S. economy, and how it fits into a broader crisis of Trump’s leadership.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump’s collapsing approval numbers, as new polling from The Economist shows his net rating falling to -18, the lowest it has ever been—even lower than any point in his first term. They discuss what’s driving the drop, from voter fatigue to economic fallout, and what it means for Trump’s reelection odds. Kander and Gupta also dive into a new Reuters report revealing the Trump family raked in over $800 million from crypto ventures in just the first half of 2025, even as Trump pardoned Binance CEO CZ Zhao in a move critics call blatant corruption, analyzing how the pardon fits into Trump’s broader pattern of rewarding allies and dismantling financial oversight. Then, they turn to Washington’s ongoing chaos as the government shutdown drags on, with Marjorie Taylor Greene turning on Speaker Mike Johnson and demanding Republicans unveil a real health care plan, and examine Democrats’ surprising restraint in Illinois and Maryland redistricting fights, and how internal debates over power and principle are shaping both parties’ futures. Plus, they break down the Senate’s rare bipartisan rebuke of Trump’s Brazil tariffs, a sign that even some Republicans are losing patience with his economic nationalism.

Ravi Gupta and guest host Stephen Webber, filling in for Jason Kander, start with some rare good news for Democrats, breaking down Harry Enten’s latest analysis showing early positive signs in New Jersey’s returns and what that might mean heading into 2026. They unpack data showing Democrats cutting into the GOP’s mail ballot lead, rising early vote enthusiasm, and a noticeable shift in party energy as figures like Senator Schatz test new messages aimed at revving up the base. Gupta and Webber also highlight the bizarre week for Republican leadership, as Speaker Johnson defends the president’s crude social media posts and dodges questions about pardoning a January 6 rioter, while Ted Cruz stokes culture war outrage over pro-democracy protests. Meanwhile, Trump spends his days golfing, demanding DOJ payouts, and posting rants as his shutdown drags on and GOP hypocrisy explodes—from private jet subsidies to ballroom renovations. The hosts then turn to North Carolina’s redistricting fight, stalled Democratic donor activity, and the brewing Maine Senate race, before diving into escalating tensions with Venezuela, confusion over U.S. beef imports, and Trump’s latest chaos at the DOJ.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down JB Pritzker’s sharp warning to Trump over invoking the Insurrection Act and Obama joining the “imagine if Obama did it” chorus. They analyze Trump’s explosive comments comparing U.S. cities like Chicago and Portland to Egypt, Tish James’s latest legal moves, and Eric Trump’s wild claim that Jack Smith planted classified folders at Mar-a-Lago. Kander and Gupta also dive into the stunning New York Times report on the forced resignation of a U.S. attorney in Virginia who refused to pursue flimsy charges tied to Trump’s demands for a Russia-related investigation. Plus, they discuss Trump’s hot-mic moment with Indonesia’s president, Janet Mills’s surprising Senate run in Maine, the leaked racist Young Republicans chat, and how America’s growing literacy crisis fits into the broader political decay.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the escalating tensions in Chicago and Portland as President Trump federalizes the National Guard and local leaders push back. They discuss Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s sharp rebuke of Trump’s actions, Pam Bondi’s inflammatory comments about Portland officials, and how the president’s militarization strategy could intimidate voters ahead of the midterms. Kander and Gupta also react to a bizarre Fox News segment featuring Stephen Miller and a troubling Trump clip on Vietnam and Afghanistan, before examining new reporting on the administration’s legally dubious “narco-terrorist” operations in Venezuela. Plus, they debate Democratic strategy on the government shutdown, from stalled negotiations to uncertainty over back pay for federal workers, and unpack Pam Bondi’s disastrous Senate testimony as she clashes with Adam Schiff and other lawmakers.

This week, Jason Kander is joined by Paul Rieckhoff, founder and executive director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, who is subbing in as host while Ravi travels, to break down Trump’s disastrous speech in front of military generals after Pete Hegseth’s “Warrior Ethos” address at Quantico, where senior commanders were summoned from across the world and greeted the remarks with stone-cold silence. They analyze Hegseth’s social-media boast—“Today, we end the War on Warriors”—the awkward pauses when he expected applause, and the eerie lack of reaction from those in attendance. Kander and Rieckhoff also dive into Trump’s rambling, partisan remarks that were wholly inappropriate for a military audience — including his calls to prepare military leadership to accept the use of combat troops against American citizens — and the deep questions that raises about civil-military norms. Plus, they explain the fallout from the government shutdown that began at midnight, which agencies remain open for essential functions, the White House’s warning to agencies to prepare for mass firings, and what that uncertainty could mean for ordinary people.
