Dan Pfeiffer

Welcome to Pod Save America.

I'm Dan Pfeiffer.

John is out of town today, so I am delighted to have with me the one and only Alex Wagner.

Alex, thanks for doing this.

It is a thrill.

People are cheering that you were here instead of John.

Not at all.

An improvement, many would say.

OK, we've got a lot to talk about on today's show.

Pete Hegseth is on the Hill trying to defend a war nobody wants.

Trump is laser focused on his grudges and perceived enemies like Jimmy Kimmel and Jim Comey.

We've got a huge Supreme Court decision in the Voting Rights Act and Maine Governor Janet Mills dropping her Senate bid, as well as a possible reboot of The Apprentice.

Then Tommy talks to Iowa Senate candidate Zach Walz.

Before we get to all of that, I just wanted to say thank you to every single one of you who have become subscribers.

For those of you who haven't, what are you waiting for?
