Joanna Coles and David Rothkopf dive into Donald Trump’s escalating foreign policy chaos, from his shifting stance on North Korea and threats against Oman to the ongoing war in Iran and the mounting strain on U.S. military forces. They discuss the troubling conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, America’s dwindling weapons stockpiles, Pete Hegseth’s leadership at the Pentagon, and what Rothkopf calls a new era of “mafia government” driven by loyalty and corruption. Plus, they unpack Trump’s growing financial ties to crypto, the controversial White House ballroom, the strange mystery surrounding the bulky object spotted under Trump’s clothes, and why Democratic Sen. John Ossoff could be one of the party’s most compelling new voices heading into the midterms.
