Trump’s Demented Rant Warning Canada That China Will Terminate ALL Ice Hockey and Eliminate the Stanley Cup Suggests We are Nearing the 25th Amendment

We begin with more evidence that the 25th Amendment should be under consideration as Trump unloads a demented rant on Truth Social warning Canada if they make a trade deal with China the first thing the Chinese will do is “terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” Joining us from Canada is Stephen Marche, a novelist and culture writer who has written for The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Esquire, and many other outlets. His recent books include, The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future, and The Last Election, co-authored with Andrew Yang.

The Heads of ICE and CBP in the Hot Seat Today Before the House Homeland Security Committee

Then we assess the hearing today before the House Homeland Security Committee at which the heads of ICE and CBP faced tough questions from Democrats and the Republican head of the committee who needless to say, like all Republicans voted to give DHS $170 billion, ICE $75 billion and CBP $58 billion. Joining us is Lindsay Koshgarian, the Program Director of the National Priorities Project, where she oversees NationalPriorities.org. Her work on the federal budget includes analysis of the federal budget process and politics, military spending, and specifically how federal budget choices for different spending priorities and taxation interact. She has an article at the National Priorities Project we discuss, “Congress Is Funding The Trump Regime’s Anti-Immigrant Violence.”

Why Are So-Called MAGA Intellectuals With All the Power and Billionaire Money, So Angry?

Then finally we investigate why the so-called MAGA intellectuals are so angry when they have all the power and are backed by billionaire money and speak with Laura Field, an associate with the Illiberalism Studies Program at George Washington University and a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution. She has written about the New Right for The New Republic, Politico, The Bulwark, and other publications, and is the author of the new book, Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right.
