    David Frum: The Grift, the Gaudiness, and the Guardrails
    May 17 2025
    Charlie Sykes and David Frum discuss the staggering corruption and cluelessness behind Donald Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million Qatari jet—complete with a backstory of diplomatic white elephants and Vegas-style décor. They explore how Trump’s second term is shaping up to be less about governance and more about retirement planning, international grifting, and institutional erosion.

    Jim Acosta: Focus Like a Laser Beam on Trump's Corruption
    May 15 2025
    Charlie Sykes is joined by Jim Acosta to break down Donald Trump’s latest scandal—accepting a luxury jet from Qatar—and what it says about the normalization of political corruption. From meme coins to constitutional crises, they explore how shamelessness has become a political strategy and why even Trump’s populist image may start to crack. The conversation also turns to Stephen Miller’s disturbing influence, RFK Jr.'s bizarre water sports, and the urgent need for moral clarity in American politics.
