    Lanny Davis: The Case for a ‘Third Way’ in Today’s Political Chaos
    Apr 17 2026
    Lanny Davis joins the show! Together, Lanny and Joe break down how presidential politics have changed throughout the years. What is Lanny’s third way to reignite a political party? Is there a way to reframe compromise between the Republicans and Democrats? Lanny shares what inspired him to write “Finding the Third Way: Lessons in the Politics of Civility from My Journey through History” and what it means to compromise. How does Bill Clinton’s State of the Union address on border security land today? Joe shares his admiration for Lanny’s ability to engage in civil discourse, and they discuss how to talk to a Trump voter in today’s climate.

  • "Let the double haters hate"

    "Let the double haters hate"
    Apr 10 2026
    Joe's been talking about it since at least last November - what critical cohort that decided 2016, 2024, and the 2022 midterms is very, very mad at Trump? And they're a growing percentage of the electorate, too. Plus - why did Melania drop a surprise Epstein press conference on Thursday? Is Iran going that poorly? (Yes!) And can Dems make any gains on the ridiculous trading corruption that's happening on prediction markets right now? Joe explains why we have to keep our eye on the prize.

  • Bye, bye, Bondi!

    Bye, bye, Bondi!
    Apr 3 2026
    Pam Bondi's out - why Joe thinks this might reopen the Epstein Pandora's Box Trump is so desperately trying to hide. (Todd Blanche, come on down!) More evidence saying the Iran quagmire isn't going away for Trump - and Joe points out the underreported "war tax" Americans are already paying. Trump saying the quiet part out loud (cutting health care to pay for the war) won't help either. Will winning back Trump voters matter for 2026? And what about AI fears?

    "I have NEVER seen numbers like that before"
    Mar 27 2026
    Iran turned into a quagmire for Trump in a matter of days. Gas prices are skyrocketing. And there's still no clear plan. The number Joe has never seen before with independent voters - is there a way out for Trump in Iran? No. How bad can it get? Why Joe thinks Trump's one magic bullet here just won't cut it anymore. Plus - a look at new data shows that the turning point moment Trump and MAGA were hoping for looks more like the beginning of a civil war than a way out. Learn more about your ad choices.
