Political Rehab: Trump slapped down, Hegseth's total hypocrisy, Trouble in the House. In our latest episode of Political Rehab, Matt and Matt kick things off with the 'Trump Dump,' exploring the controversial moves by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vaccines and Trump's role, plus the growing friction within the Republican Party surrounding Trump's recent policies including his aggressive stance on Venezuela and the impacts of the shrinking house majority on GOP's agenda.

We also shine a light on tragic events like the killing of a motorist by an ICE agent in Minnesota and discuss the national and political repercussions. The legacy of the January 6th insurrection is another focal point, examining how public perception and political dynamics have evolved over the past five years. How do Mike Pence's actions fit into the grand scheme, and what does this mean for the future of American democracy?
