On this week's DMZ:

-- Trump's attempt to influence jurors (it only takes one!), and what happens if Trump actually wins his trial?

-- Mike Johnson's attempt to survive as speaker and pass aid to fund Ukraine against Russia

-- And should Sonia Sotomayor retire?

Matt discusses a recent Twitter spat, and Bill recounts a discussion he just had on The David Pakman Show. What do these two things have in common? Both have to do with the sense (propagated by Team Trump) that things in America are horrible. Bill explains his theory regarding how Team Biden can reframe the campaign narrative. Next, Bill and Matt discuss former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel being let go by NBC News. And lastly, they talk about RFK, Jr.'s recent vice presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, and why Bill contends it's an "affront to democracy."

Are media elites overreacting to Donald Trump's use of the term "blood bath"? Matt and Bill discuss. Next, they chat about Trump-backed candidate Bernie Moreno's primary victory in Ohio, and whether he will help Republicans take back the U.S. Senate in November.
