Summary

Adam sits down with Benny Johnson to break down Trump’s surprising taste in White House décor, Adam’s pitch for throwback uniforms and retro fast-food menus, and how his rants about California’s slow-motion collapse turned out to be dead-on. They also take a look at Chuck Todd doing gymnastics to dodge blame for lying about Biden’s brain fog, question whether Kamala’s aiming for governor, and try to make sense of Meghan Markle’s exhausting calendar.

Later, Adam, Benny, and Jason “Mayhem” Miller discuss the day’s headlines—including Trump’s papal aspirations, the Oscars’ latest woke checklist, a new mom booted from her running club over a trans controversy, and Katy Perry circling the drain. Plus, they fire up the “Spin the Wheel” game, and Benny gets put through the wringer. Get it on.
