Today on the Playbook podcast, Donald Trump will be talking God at the Museum of the Bible,

and we'll be talking about Chicago and where else he might be going next.

And we've got the inside scoop on a massive row between the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant

and another key member of the

administration. You want to stay tuned for that. Hello, I'm Jack Blanchard. And I'm Dasha Burns. It is
