About this listen

Donald Trump gives a hero’s welcome to Mohammed bin Salman — despite U.S. intelligence concluding the Saudi crown prince likely approved the murder of a U.S. journalist.


• Trump doubles down: he publicly calls for the execution of Democrats who reminded military and intelligence personnel of their oath to refuse illegal orders.


• The U.S. Coast Guard initially downgrades swastikas & nooses from “hate symbols” to “potentially divisive,” then reverses course after massive backlash.


• A shaky jobs report and deep economic concerns fuel rising public discontent — while new polls show Democrats in a strong position heading into the 2026 midterms.


In this video we break down:


What Trump’s embrace of MBS reveals about foreign policy and U.S. intelligence.


The alarming implications of a president calling for execution of elected officials.


Why the Coast Guard saga matters for military culture & symbolism.


How economic weakness + voter sentiment are giving Democrats new momentum.


What all this means for 2026: Senate, House, and the shape of U.S. democracy.
