About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss reaction to this weekend’s “No Kings” demonstrations, and whether the marches harbinger a strong Democratic performance in the 2026 midterms. They also discuss whether the U.S. fight against the South American drug trade is heating up, as President Trump imposed new tariffs and cut aid to Colombia after Colombian President Gustavo Petro criticized the Administration’s policy of firing missiles at alleged drug boats off the South American coast. Next, they wonder why President Trump granted clemency to George Santos, the former New York congressman convicted of wire fraud and identity theft. Santos had served three months of a seven-year sentence and was released this past Friday evening. Then finally, RCP contributor and former State Department official Peter Berkowitz joins Andrew Walworth and Carl Cannon to discuss the recent violence in Gaza, and whether the peace initiative that led to the release of 20 live hostages is already breaking down.
