Summary

This week, all three Hacks convened to break down a whirlwind week in politics — from Trump sending troops to Chicago and ICE’s recruitment and tactics, to the contrasting leadership styles of Newsom and Pritzker heading into 2024. They also discuss the shutdown negotiations, Ghislaine’s pardon request, CBS, Prop 50, and a bit of good old-fashioned pearl-clutching. Buckle up!

I got to tell you, I got to tell you, it is so dishonest from so many different

1:14.1

standpoints here. First of all, they're sending guys in, they say to get the worst of the

I mean, you know, these, and these guys, like they tackled that poor guy in L.A. who's got two sons in the Marines, you know.
