About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and RCP White House Correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss Turning Point USA’s America Fest which wrapped up on Sunday, Vice President JD Vance’s comments this morning regarding Nick Fuentes, and whether Vance can hold together the Republican coalition. Also singer/songwriter Nicki Manaj addressed the Turning Point USA audience on the importance of free speech, while Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) told ABC News on Sunday that he does not believe Vance stands for the traditional Republican values of free trade, lower taxes and limited government. Next, they discuss Larry Kudlow’s remarks that the US economy could experience five percent growth rate in 2026, and whether such an improvement in the country’s economic fortunes could help the GOP retain control of the House in the midterms. And, they discuss the political fortunes of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who announced her withdrawal from the New York governors race after President Trump did not endorse her. Also, CBS Editor in Chief Bari Weiss this weekend pulled a segment from 60 Minutes at the last minute, saying it lacked context. The reporter on the story, Sharyn Alfonsi has protested – saying that the segment was screened five times internally. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
