The DMZ Matt Lewis & Bill Scher

On this week's DMZ, Bill and Matt discuss...

-- How Joe Biden's governing philosophy gets things done, but also results in Biden rarely getting credit.

-- House Speaker Mike Johnson's big week, and whether he's a more honest broker than Kevin McCarthy.

-- The antisemitic protests at Columbia University, and why Bill thinks the divestment encampments on college campuses are stupid. 

-- The whining coming from Donald Trump and his allies about him having to be in court.

-- And more!

On this week's DMZ:

-- Trump's attempt to influence jurors (it only takes one!), and what happens if Trump actually wins his trial?

-- Mike Johnson's attempt to survive as speaker and pass aid to fund Ukraine against Russia

-- And should Sonia Sotomayor retire?

Matt discusses a recent Twitter spat, and Bill recounts a discussion he just had on The David Pakman Show. What do these two things have in common? Both have to do with the sense (propagated by Team Trump) that things in America are horrible. Bill explains his theory regarding how Team Biden can reframe the campaign narrative. Next, Bill and Matt discuss former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel being let go by NBC News. And lastly, they talk about RFK, Jr.'s recent vice presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, and why Bill contends it's an "affront to democracy."

Are media elites overreacting to Donald Trump's use of the term "blood bath"? Matt and Bill discuss. Next, they chat about Trump-backed candidate Bernie Moreno's primary victory in Ohio, and whether he will help Republicans take back the U.S. Senate in November. 

Bill and Matt discuss whether Nikki Haley's performance in the South Carolina primary spells trouble for Donald Trump in November. Next, they turn the tables, and talk about whether Arab-American voters in Michigan could sink Joe Biden's chances. Then they talk about Donald Trump's "outreach" to African-Americans. And finally, Bill gives us an update on whether there will be another government shutdown. 

Bill and Matt discuss whether a Democrat winning the special election in New York spells trouble for Trump in November. Next, talk turns to the "age-old" question about Joe Biden—and whether America has already moved on to other news stories.
