Summary

Despite Emma's absence, it's hump day Wednesday and there's a lot to talk about.

Inflation is slowly starting to rise to its highest number since February. The effects of these tariffs will be rearing their head eventually.

Award winning Israeli journalist, Meron Rapaport joins us for a discussion on Gaza and the West bank and Israel's attempt to alienate and expel Arab Knesset members.

Hakeem Jeffries is still refusing to endorse Zohran Mandani even though he won Hakeem's district decisively.

In the Fun Half we open with a real time twitter feud between Matt and a journalist from The Free Beacon or something. Matt cooks him.

Trump turns on his own base over the Epstein files. This story is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Meanwhile, despite all of the tragic SCOTUS rulings, the horrible budget bill, the mass firings of federal employees, the dismantling of the Department of Education, according to CNN the Democrats are in a worse position for the midterms than at this same point in 2017 or 2005.

All that and more plus phone calls.
