About this episode
Is this the most powerful presidency in modern history? Ravi welcomes Tyler Austin Harper back to the show to dig into Trump’s aggressive executive orders, the GOP’s split response, and what “malicious compliance” really means. They also discuss the chaos and backlash resulting from the executive overreach and the broader implications of Trump testing the limits of his presidential power.
Ravi and Tyler then take a closer look at how Democrats and the media have failed to adapt to the new political landscape. They examine the rising appeal of populism, the failures of the expert class, and the need for new strategies that can challenge the political status quo.
