Trump Honors Dead Friend, Restarts War
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Pod Save Americaβs own podcast host.
Sen. Lindsey Graham unexpectedly dies and President Trump notifies Congress that the military has resumed strikes against Iran. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss Trump’s announcement that the United States will become “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT” and begin charging a 20% toll. Then, they discuss the legacy of Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell’s unexpected and unconvincing proof-of-life photo after his own brush with death, and how both senators’ absences will affect Trump’s legislative agendaβbefore touching on the administration subpoenaing four journalists at The New York Times and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s role in an outbreak of explosive diarrhea across the country. Finally, Brian Tyler Cohen stops by to talk to Lovett about his new book, “The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.”
