And then Obama got the Last Laugh...

In this episode, John dives down into the weeds as we approach the critical 2026 midterms. With 99 days to go, he discusses the latest polling data, highlighting the Democrats' surprising lead in key areas, including the economy and healthcare. John talks about the implications of the ongoing Iran war, the troubling treatment of Haitian immigrants losing their temporary protected status, and the recent updates on military casualties from the Pentagon. John also offers a humorous critique of the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner, focusing on Donald Trump's awkward performance and the media's complex relationship with him. Then, he speaks with social justice leader, democratic strategist, and civil rights leader Rashad Robinson. He previously led Color Of Change for nearly fourteen years, transforming it from a start-up into a national force for racial justice, and also led programs at GLAAD, reshaping media representations of LGBTQ people during the fights to win marriage equality and end discrimination. They discuss his new book “From Presence To Power: How To Take On The Fights That Matter – And Win”. And then lastly, Professor Corey Brettschneider is back to talk with John about Trump's governing philosophy, contrasting it with historical authoritarian figures, and explore the dynamics of the MAGA coalition, emphasizing the shared grievances that bind its members together. Cory shares insights on the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner, critiquing Trump's lack of humor and self-awareness, while John expresses outrage at the media's decision to platform him despite his history of attacking press freedom.
