Summary

Charlie Sykes and former Congressman David Jolly explore the unsettling prospect of Donald Trump pursuing a third term and the broader implications for American democracy. They examine the collapse of congressional power, the growing influence of Elon Musk in Republican politics, and the corrosive impact of money on elections—including a $100 million Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Jolly also hints at a potential gubernatorial run in Florida and offers sobering insight into the dangers posed by RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine agenda.
