Summary
Steve Schmidt, Lincoln Project founder and former strategist to major Republican candidates, including John McCain. He airs his Meghan McCain grievances and we look at a New York Times piece from the 2000 election that highlighted John McCain's alleged affair.
Have we reached peak inflation? The Democrats struggle to find footing as Republicans place rising costs and a failing market at the feet of a Democratic administration.
The Political Triad (Justin, Andrew Heaton, and Jen Briney) reconvene to tease a new project, discuss renewable energy, and to break down the infamous Madison Cawthorn footage.
