About this episode
As Trump exploits hurricane victims for political gain, Jen breaks down how his lies have wreaked havoc on the communities and institutions that make America strong. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas joins Jen to discuss Trump's dangerous rhetoric falsehoods, which force the rest of country to pick up the pieces rather than join in a common cause. Next, Congressman Dan Goldman joins to address why Republican leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson still choose to reject reality and refuse to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. Jen also addresses Vice President Harris's recent media blitz, geared toward new media platforms over legacy outlets. Sarah Matthews, Jerusalem Demsas and Jonathan Martin discuss Harris's strategy, as well her appearance on 60 Minutes.
