No, we're not suggesting that after Greenland (Iceland?), the moon is next. But maybe. No - it's because Trump's week from hell is quickly turning into a year from hell. He might be doing everything he wants, but the American people HATE it. Hate hate hate it. Loathe it entirely. His coalition from 2024 is gone. It's worse for him than 2020. Why? Joe and Alex get into it. How do we balance his worst issue (yes, it's still Epstein) with all the rest? Joe has a theory...

Special guest Zahra Amanpour joins Joe and Alex to talk about the latest with Iran. How did we get to where we are today - with violent protests and the collapse of the currency - and reports of thousands killed by the regime?

Happy New Year, everyone!

Joe made waves a few weeks ago when he suggested Democrats could win 258 seats next year. For real? For real, for real. Joe explains how the numbers show that while it might not be 258 - everywhere could be in play. And Alex shows how bad the economic numbers have gotten - again - with a new Marist poll explaining a lot. And why does Susie Wiles' bashing Trump in Vanity Fair matter? What does it mean?

Why this lie is so much harder to believe than all the others - and Joe explains why the numbers keep getting worse for Trump.
