Episode notes
Democrats Should Reject The War Funding Request
- Democrats should vote no on Trump's $200 billion war request and treat it as direct authorization of the Iran war, not a technical replenishment vote.
- Tommy Vietor warns history will read any yes vote like Iraq authorization, while the hosts note majorities of voters and independents oppose more war funding.
A Random Radio Call Helped Spawn The ICE Airport Plan
- Trump's airport ICE plan reportedly began with a caller named Linda from Arizona pitching it to Clay Travis, who repeated it on Fox before Trump adopted it.
- The hosts mock the rollout as agents "milling about" airports without TSA training while DHS funding remains tied to the SAVE Act.
Markwayne Mullin Will Answer To Trump Not The Senate
- The hosts say Markwayne Mullin's smoother confirmation path reflects Senate relationships and desperation after Kristi Noem, not confidence he will resist Trump once in office.
- Jon Favreau argues any DHS secretary has one real way to lose the job: angering Stephen Miller or Donald Trump.
