About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss whether Wall Street worries about a recession are justified, and whether Trump’s handling of tariffs is contributing to economic uncertainty. They also talk about the upcoming Senate vote on the six-month spending bill, and whether Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will instruct fellow Democrats to vote no, forcing a government shutdown. Also, Education Secretary Linda McMahon announces that she will eliminate half the Department of Education’s workforce through layoffs and voluntary buyouts. Next, Carl Cannon talks with RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann about his profile of Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, daughter-in-law to Robert F. Kennedy and current associate director for Intelligence and International Affairs at OMB, where she oversees the budget of the CIA and 17 other intelligence agencies. And winding it up, Andrew Walworth talks to journalist Thom Shanker about what U.S. military strategists have observed from Ukraine’s use of drones, and how drone technology has completely changed modern warfare. Is the Pentagon learning the right lessons from the War in Ukraine? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
