Summary
Trump promised we'd all be “sick of winning.” Well, congratulations America—we finally made it. Inflation is climbing, the economy is wobbling, tensions with Iran are escalating, Congress is spending like there's no tomorrow, and the phrase "totally not a war" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Meanwhile, we're told the border is secure, corruption is nonexistent, the DOJ is completely independent, and there are definitely no awkward questions involving Jeffrey Epstein hanging over the White House. In this week's Elephant in the Room, Rick Wilson takes a sarcastic victory lap through America's latest "wins"—from the Trumpression to foreign policy chaos, political scandals, redistricting games, and the honor of landing on the White House enemies list. If this is what winning looks like, imagine what losing would do.

| 0:04.7 | Joe, what I absolutely love about having people round in summer is that the garden suddenly becomes the place everyone gravitates towards after all my hard work. |
| 0:15.5 | I know there is nothing nicer than being able to entertain outside and probably show off all that stuff you've been doing over the cold, dark months and suddenly the garden is there. |
| 0:24.2 | Tadda! |
| 0:24.7 | Tadda! |

| 0:31.4 | QVC has recently launched their Studio 70 collection, which is full of gorgeous lanterns, a little bit like this, beautiful |
| 0:39.3 | one here. That's from the Amanda Holden collection, garden furniture and accessories to create |
| 0:44.9 | the perfect garden setup. It's all very retro 70s inspired, so I really like the style. So if you |
| 0:50.1 | think olive greens are berry tones, you can have gorgeous prints, lovely soft lighting, |
| 0:55.5 | and it can really lift whatever outdoor space that you already have. |
| 0:58.7 | Yeah, loving the solar lanterns as well, they give off a really beautiful, warm glow. |
