Republicans pull some desperate stunts to distract from their agenda and some recent wins by the Democrats. Brian interviews Congressman Adam Schiff about Kevin McCarthy removing him from the House Intelligence Committee, whether he thinks George Santos can still serve his constituents effectively, and on his Senate run, why he chose to enter the race and whether he and Katie Porter would consider staying in Congress if one of them seemed to be running away with the race.

House Republicans pass one of their first bills as they melt down over gas prices coming down. Brian interviews Congressman Ruben Gallego about his announcement that he’s running for Kyrsten Sinema’s seat in the US Senate, how to deal with a 3-way race that may hand the whole thing to Republicans, and the threat that someone like Kari Lake would pose if she takes the Republican nomination. And Democratic communications strategist and former senior advisor to Julián Castro, Sawyer Hackett, joins to discuss Marjorie Taylor Greene vying for Trump’s VP slot, his thoughts on DeSantis going all in on culture wars from a strategists’ perspective, and the GOP’s endgame with their threats to hold the debt ceiling hostage.

Republicans are gearing up to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid--and using a pretty pathetic strategy to distract you from it.
