In this episode, Alex starts by discussing how Donald Trump is back in court in New York for a civil fraud trial involving the Trump Organization. It seems like Trump will take this case seriously because it brings into question the efficacy of his name and business. Next, RFK Jr. could be running as an independent or even a libertarian. Alex notes that RFK Jr. has put out an ad telling his supporters that there will be an announcement in Pennsylvania on October 9. Some commentators think his annoucement could hurt Biden, others think it could hurt Trump. Alex argues that it would be more likely to hurt Trump due to the views of the average RFK Jr. supporter, but he also thinks it may be a wash. Later, Alex discusses how the SCOTUS is back in session and will be hearing some important cases that may overturn the Chevron deference doctrine. He argues that some of these cases may change the role of federal agencies in society and could lead to less stability and flexibility in government. Finally, Alex gives an update on the chaos happening in congress. It looks like there will be a vote to oust Kevin McCarthy and there’s a chance he may lose!
