In the first Fly-In episode of 2026, Landsman and Veasey are joined by Congressman Adam Smith (WA-09), the current Ranking Member and top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. Smith gives a comprehensive overview of the Trump Administration’s lack of strategy to prevent chaos in Venezuela, and further threats against countries like Greenland.

The Members also touch on the developing situation in Iran and the potential for American involvement.

Then, the Members turn to the home front to talk through the killing of 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis at the hands of ICE, and the dangerous lack of accountability for Administration officials and federal agents. They wrap up by watching Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s response to the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation against him, connecting it to the Administration’s broader efforts to bully and pressure independent bodies to do Trump’s bidding.

In Episode 26, “Round Trip,” Landsman and Veasey are joined by Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), who serves as the Whip of the New Democrat Coalition and was the podcast’s first guest when she joined Episode 2 in March. In this episode, the three members revisit some of the topics they discussed 9 months ago, including House Republicans’ failure to lower costs and the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s incompetence.

To close out the first season of The Fly-In, Landsman and Veasey quiz Rep. Strickland to see if she remembers some of the craziest news stories of 2025.
