Summary

The Democrats' popular affordability platform has Trump jealously weaving plans for 50-year mortgages and socialist-seeming tariff rebates, and Josh Johnson deciphers how the “money man” president thinks $2,000 checks will solve everything. On this edition of Who Won It Best, Desi Lydic and Troy Iwata dive into the crèmè de la crème of awards season: the Fox Nation Patriot Awards, where Sean Hannity tortured the crowd with his singing, Mike Waltz got an adoring shoutout, Melania Trump plugged her Amazon flick, and Jason Aldean shined as the biggest star they could muster. Actor, comedian, former Daily Show correspondent, and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Rob Riggle joins Josh to discuss his memoir, "Grit, Spit, and Never Quit: A Marine's Guide to Comedy and Life." They talk about employing the “don’t quit” military mindset in comedy, fighting excuses by becoming your own drill instructor, and advising veterans who are struggling with the transition from military to civilian life not to isolate.
