The monologue this time involves First Lady Elon Musk illegally dismantling USAID - firing thousands of employees and saying he will rehire DOGE staffer Marko Elez who resigned after The Wall Street Journal reported he had posted racist messages to X that included “normalize Indian hate”. Next, John talks with Democratic strategist Max Burns about his new piece in The Hill called "Congress must stand up to Trump’s USAID power grab — before it’s too late". Then finally, he welcomes back TV's Frank Conniff to chat with listeners about Elon, Trump, and his new "Mads are Back" show.
