It's becoming pretty clear that U.S. President Donald Trump is ripping up the political

playbook.

And when it comes to what it all means for Canada, well, as they say, it's complicated.

But our podcast, two blocks from the White House, is a way to make sense of it all.

Join me, Willie Lowry, and senior Washington correspondents, Paul Hunter and Katie Simpson

every week as we break down the headlines from Capitol Hill with a Canadian spin.

This is a CBC podcast. All right, ladies and gentlemen, here we are.

Here we are. Here we are. Here we are. We're here. We're here. Live. Nope. Not really live, but kind of live, because we're here together as friends. Alive. Alive and well. Not well, but alive. Well, I'm well. You're well. So great. It was so gracious of all the hospital staff to let us come and rent out a room here. I want to see you fucking think this room would cost to rent for like it like on Airbnb for a night. The government's probably got a pretty hefty rate. No, but like for real, let's just like, let's have to pay for it. If you were if you had to to pay for the room to rent, like, if they were like, all right, we're going to have like, for the summer, just have it for rental rooms for people to come to Halifax and enjoy the view of civil world. Like with all the medical equipment and like the cost. Okay, I hear what you're saying. You're saying just the room. You're saying just if it was like straight up, bed. A bed, a bathroom in the room.

Mini-fridge. like the cost. Okay. I hear what you're saying. You're saying just if it was like straight up, bed, a bed, a bathroom in the room. Mini fridge too. 40 bucks too. 40 bucks too. 40 bucks. Yeah. So I'm, yeah, I'm in the same ballpark as you, Taylor. $40 I think would be like a fair estimate. However. I'm going for five bucks a night. No. Yeah, I'm going to do five bucks in a night.

It does have a hospital vibe to it though.

Dude, look at this fucking place.

Yeah, I don't want to really tear down the medical system here, but I mean, things are not looking that great.

Oh, I'll tear it down.

I'll fucking tear the motherfucker down. I've been in here. So people who, in case you don't know, well, by the time this comes out, hopefully I'll be out of here. But we were in Los Angeles. TV rental service picture behind you. Dude, on the TV that's from 1982.

I think this TV is from fucking, I think this is literally the first TV ever built.

Do you think that there's a decision to keep it or do you think they just never make

any decisions on removing it?

Like, because look at, like, there's no reason for that thing to be here.

They use it, though.

It's literally just a burden on the wall because it's built into the, to a stud.

There's really just in, you have to pay to use it.
