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.

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.

Okay, let's get to the news.

He spent this week laser focused on one of his least popular programs, his vengeance tour against his political enemies.

Let's start with Jim Comey.
