Summary

Trump is trying to seize powers he doesn't have—like unilaterally rewriting laws and deciding on his own how he wants to spend money Congress appropriated for a particular purpose. Will the Supreme Court stop him? And if it rules against him, will he obey the court's orders? Plus, the money angle behind RFK, Jr.'s conspiracies, and Elon's attempt at a mass buyout is not about making the government leaner and meaner. He's trying to replace good, smart people with lackeys and flunkies, like Tucker Carlson's son. Mona Charen joins Tim Miller.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the board podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. We have an insane week
0:11.8	ahead of us. The confirmation hearing of RFK Jr. is happening as I speak. Cash Patel and

1:17.2	That's true. I'm happy to have you. I guess this is an announcement for a couple of listeners who
