Hey folks,
Just wrapped a wild, fast-moving live session with Don Lemon, and this one had everything — Trump pardoning Henry Cuellar out of nowhere, the economy tanking in real time, Pete Hegseth’s mounting legal disaster, Tennessee’s special election, and yes… Olivia Nuzzi, against both of our wills. It was sharp, funny, a little chaotic, and honestly one of my favorite conversations we’ve had so far.
Here’s where to jump in:
[00:01:22] Trump shocks everyone by pardoning Henry Cuellar — and we try to untangle what political favor he’s cashing in this time.
[00:05:58] The economy hits a wall: brutal job numbers, collapsing small businesses, and why Trump keeps pretending we’re in a “golden age.”
[00:10:40] Pete Hegseth’s war-crime spiral, Trump’s sleepy cabinet meeting, and Marco Rubio derailing everything with college football takes.
[00:15:12] Tennessee’s special election breakdown — why a nine-point GOP win in a Trump +22 district should terrify Republicans heading into 2026.
[00:20:33] The double-income crisis, housing costs, and why Americans keep ping-ponging between parties looking for someone — anyone — who will make their lives livable again.
With urgency,
—Mike
