Published On: Wed Apr 23 2025
Description: Michael is joined by political analyst Mark Halperin for a whirlwind tour of the most pressing stories shaping Washington. From Donald Trump's surprise pivot on China and Jerome Powell that sent the markets into a tailspin, to RFK Jr.'s headline-grabbing move to phase out artificial food dyes, and JD Vance’s meteoric rise as perhaps the most influential VP in modern history—nothing is off limits. Is Trump acting like a day-trader-in-chief? Why is the MAGA movement now pushing health reform? And has Pete Hegseth finally pushed things too far? Hear deep insights, sharp commentary, and a few laughs as Smerconish and Halperin break down the chaos with clarity. Original air date 23 April 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
