Mark Halperin on Musk vs. Trump, Stephen Miller’s Power Grab & Hidden White House Chaos
Podcast: The Smerconish PodcastPublished On: Wed Jun 04 2025
Description: Michael Smerconish welcomes political analyst Mark Halperin for a high-octane breakdown of the week’s biggest—and most overlooked—stories in U.S. politics. Elon Musk's surprise criticism of Trump's economic bill has reportedly infuriated the President, but is it a distraction from deeper GOP infighting and dysfunction? Halperin peels back the curtain on the real stories happening beneath the headlines—including the surprising influence of Stephen Miller, the chaos inside Trump's HHS and Defense Departments, and why Steve Witkoff’s diplomatic role is raising red flags.
