About this episode
Andrew Walworth, Carl Cannon and RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann discuss Donald Trump’s 2026 budget that was released today and includes $163 billion in spending cuts. They also talk about personnel changes at the White House, and what the future may hold for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former National Security Advisor and UN ambassador nominee Mike Waltz, and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. Plus, an Executive Order signed late Thursday that terminates federal support for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. Also, the guys give their picks for this week’s “You Can’t Be Serious”. Then finally, RCP Contributor Charlie Stone and journalist Jack Ford talk to Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's Secretary of State, author, and a Democratic candidate for Michigan governor in 2026.
