Summary

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta dive into the latest economic news, including rising inflation under Trump’s watch, with consumer prices up 3% in January. Next, Kander and Gupta discuss Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation and the accusations against Kash Patel for allegedly orchestrating firings at the FBI, possibly committing perjury in the process. Ravi and Jason then report on the growing attacks from Democrats on Elon Musk, his involvement with DOGE, and Project 2025—shifting focus as both Musk and Project 2025 face increasing unpopularity. This and more on the podcast that helps you, the 54% of the country that votes for progress in every election, convince your conservative friends and family members to join our majority.
