About this episode
After a tragic plane crash between an American Airlines passenger jet and a military helicopter, scrutiny intensifies on Trump’s recent removals of key FAA officials. As Trump deflects blame onto DEI and Biden, his deranged press conference and Oval Office Q&A spiral into chaos—culminating in tariffs on Canada and Mexico and an executive order absurdly blaming Biden for the crash. Meanwhile, Trump fuels QAnon conspiracies, a Republican congresswoman pushes to add him to Mount Rushmore, and Meta’s $25 million settlement with Trump over a frivolous lawsuit raises bribery concerns. Plus, confirmation hearings go off the rails with RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel in the hot seat, and Canada, Mexico, and Denmark fire back against Trump’s threats. The Fed keeps interest rates steady, citing deep concerns over Trump’s economic chaos. Ben, Brett and Jordy cover all this and more!
