Betches co-founder Sami Sage joins Alyssa Mastromonaco to dig into Trump’s Joint Address to Congress. They discuss his speech’s glaring hypocrisy, the exploitation of his guests’ trauma, and the democratic response. They also chat about the Resistance Rangers standing up for national parks, the wrath J.D. Vance faced on his ski trip to Vermont, and their love for Kate Hudson in her new show Running Point. Then, Alyssa interviews Elisa Lane, a farmer from Maryland impacted by Trump’s erratic funding freezes.
