I don't know if the mic picked that up.

The sweet sirens that I grew up with in the city.

All of that and more on today's bonus show.

There's something bigger going on right now that a lot of people are missing that I will be talking about today.

And it is not about any one statement from any one administration official or it's not another claim that has fallen apart on TV.

The system around this administration and around MAGA

has started to change in some very real ways where people in the base are questioning Trump.

Republican politicians are pushing narratives they can't even defend when asked basic questions and polling that historically points to major election trouble ahead.

Now, at the same time, you've got a political environment where being completely wrong no longer really matters anymore.

You can just be wrong and then everybody moves on.

And when a political movement loses internal confidence while acting in a way that there's never a demand for accountability, things get quickly unstable.

We also are going to hear from Mike Pence trying to pretend that the Republican Party is no longer the party of Trump and is.

sort of like the old Republican Party.

That is very much not true.

And unless Republicans face that reality, they are going to get crushed in November.

So today we're going to look at all of it.

Donald Trump is losing control.

I believe everybody knows it.

And we have seen you know, we've covered the individual Trump meltdowns before.

He doesn't get his way about something and he posts some insane screed on Truth Social or he glitches again and again and again and falls asleep again and again.
