    Matt sits down with Bill Scher of Washington Monthly for a wide-ranging discussion on the biggest political stories of the week. Key Topics Covered: — Trump’s Meeting with Xi in China and Taiwan Policy Shift: Trump says he discussed U.S. arms sales with Xi ‘In great detail’ — Michigan Senate Primary Meltdown: “Polls show the three-way slugfest between Abdul El-Sayed, Mallory McMorrow, and Haley Stevens is dragging them all down and creating a pickup opportunity for the GOP.” — Read Bill Scher’s piece here. — Kentucky GOP Primary Drama: Trump’s effort to take out Rep. Thomas Massie, Rand Paul’s strong defense, the “cow money” scandal, AIPAC and big-donor involvement, and what a Massie loss (or win) says about Trump’s control of the Republican Party — HondurasGate — Why Bill says Hondurasgate is worse than Watergate and Iran-Contra combined — January 6 Pardons Backfiring: Freed by Trump, the Jan. 6 criminals are preying on children and others — And MUCH more!

    On this week's DMZ, Bill Scher and Matt dive into the chaotic mess that is Donald Trump’s second term.  We discuss the following: — Trump’s Iran War Escalation & Quagmire Risks — The U.S. military campaign has deepened into potential endless conflict, fears of Iran mining the Strait of Hormuz, spiking oil prices to extreme levels, asymmetric retaliation, and no clear exit strategy despite Trump’s boasts of quick victory. — SAVE Act Push & Voter Restrictions — Trump fixates on passing the SAVE America Act (requiring strict ID like passports or birth certificates for voting, bundled with unrelated trans issues and other GOP priorities) despite slim chances in the Senate. We talk about how it could suppress turnout (ironically hurting low-propensity Republican voters more), and Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s resistance to nuking the filibuster. — Signs of GOP Base Unrest & Policy Shifts — The Trump administration is backpedaling on aggressive “mass deportation” rhetoric (White House aides urging focus on “violent criminals”), coupled with the alienation of non-interventionist voices (Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, et al.) over Iran. — Midterm Outlook & Blue Wave Potential — With growing Democratic momentum, coupled with Trump’s chaotic presidency, Matt is predicting a Senate flip for Dems. — The 2028 Succession Battle: J.D. Vance vs. Marco Rubio — There are emerging 2028 GOP primary tensions, with Vance (non-interventionist leanings, low-profile amid Iran) vs. Rubio (more prominent on foreign policy, aligned with strikes) leading the speculation.  — And MUCH more!
