    The Musk Whisperer

    Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta report on the GOP’s recent budget blueprint that narrowly passed in the House. Jason and Ravi break down what this means for Trump’s tax, border, and spending-cut agenda, and explore the potential roadblocks ahead with the Senate and the battle over Medicaid cuts. Kander and Gupta then turn to Trump’s overhaul at the FBI, as Trump appoints Dan Bongino’s as Deputy FBI Director under Kash Patel. They then dive into James Carville’s provocative call for Democrats to step back and let Republicans self-destruct with their dysfunction. What would this "tactical pause" mean for the future of the party? Jason and Ravi are then joined by Congressman Ro Khanna to discuss all 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. This is Majority 54!

    Chiefs' Super Bowl Collapse, Trump, & President Stephen A.?!

    The guys will definitely give Jason a hard time after the Chiefs' fall short of three-peating in what can only be described as a dominant performance by Philadehpia in Super Bowl 59. This year's Super Bowl had a very political feel, from President Trump attending to Kendrick putting on a resistance-themed halftime show. Then they'll address Shohei Ohtani's interpreter being sentenced and the impact trades have on locker rooms before discussing the potential root causes of professional sports increasingly viewed as "soft." And did somebody say Stephen A. Smith for President?
