    Out of Control
    Jan 22 2026
    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump’s escalating clash with Europe as his threats over Greenland and sweeping tariffs rattle NATO and global stability. They analyze Trump’s jaw-dropping messages to European leaders, the backlash from U.S. allies and Republicans like Thom Tillis, and the growing concern that his rhetoric is pushing the alliance toward a breaking point. Kander and Gupta also dive into the domestic fallout as reports surface of potential military deployments in Minnesota, civil rights probes tied to ICE, and new polling showing Americans believe the country is spiraling out of control. Plus, they discuss Trump’s record-low approval, revelations about his personal profits from the presidency, and disturbing new details about political operatives accessing voter data.

    The Feds v. The Fed
    Jan 15 2026
    Ravi Gupta and guest host Harry Litman break down the Justice Department’s investigation targeting the Federal Reserve and the legal battle over Fed independence, as administration allies refuse to back down and lawmakers openly acknowledge what the probe is really about. They also examine the looming government shutdown, with nearly 100 House Democrats led by Rep. Ilhan Omar vowing to oppose DHS funding without major ICE reforms, before turning to Minnesota and the fallout from the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, including questions about federal accountability and the resignation of six prosecutors. Plus, they cover Trump’s response to the case, paid pro-ICE influencer campaigns, sweeping immunity claims, updates on Venezuela and Iran, a growing measles outbreak, the “rage economy,” and new data showing a record share of Americans identifying as independents.

    Minnesota & Venezuela
    Jan 8 2026
    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump’s Venezuela operation as the president announces an oil deal following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, raising questions about coercion, profiteering, and global backlash from China and regional allies. They analyze Trump’s claims about seizing billions in Venezuelan oil, the response from interim leader Delcy Rodríguez, and mounting fears of authoritarian crackdowns as armed militias flood Caracas under a sweeping emergency decree. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump’s revived push to acquire Greenland, unpacking Marco Rubio’s closed-door comments, NATO alarm, and the administration’s refusal to rule out military force. Plus, they discuss new scrutiny over Epstein-related DOJ delays, fresh data showing young men souring on Trump, escalating GOP infighting, and renewed attempts to rewrite the history of January 6.
