Two Joes

A new phase of the war may be starting with the U.S. putting boots on the ground. Joe Trippi and Joe Klein talk about mistakes we've made in past wars — and how to avoid them.

Joe Trippi and Joe Klein break down the rapidly escalating war with Iran — and why the political consequences could be far worse than the military ones.

From rising gas prices and global instability to fractures inside MAGA and growing backlash among independents, this conflict is shaping up to be a defining moment for Trump and the 2026 election.

They also dig into the role of Netanyahu, the collapse of international support, and why this war may follow the same disastrous trajectory as Iraq — with long-term consequences Americans are already starting to feel.

Congressman and Senate candidate Seth Moulton joins Joe Klein and Joe Trippi to dissect the escalating conflict in Iran, drawing chilling parallels to the Iraq War. Moulton challenges the administration's shifting justifications, discusses the lack of a "day after" plan, and explains why he is running for Senate to bring next-generation leadership to the Democratic Party.

Democratic strategist Joe Trippi and celebrated political author Joe Klein have seen a lot of State of the Union speeches over the years. Some have shaped American policy for decades, others have redefined presidential legacies in real time. Usually, though, they’re just a laundry list of great-sounding promises that may or may not be revisited in the following year. The Joes rank Trump’s 2026 speech, and let us know whether they think it’ll go down in history or as an afterthought.

Late last week, the Department of Justice released nearly 3.5 million documents related to the Epstein files, putting the spotlight on a number of influential figures associated with the notorious financier. And for Joe Trippi and Joe Klein, “morality” is the word they kept coming back to on The Two Joes.

Trump’s attack on Fed Chair Jerome Powell is only the latest opportunity a flailing Trump administration has given Democrats to capitalize on.

Celebrated political writer Joe Klein and veteran Democratic Strategist Joe Trippi discuss whether Democrats can deliver with Political Scientist Ruy Teixeira.

A Republican President targeting an oil-rich country despite fervent campaign promises of no more nation-building — where have we heard that before? Democratic strategist Joe Trippi and celebrated political writer Joe Klein analyze the political fallout from this weekend’s capture of Nicolas Maduro and wonder whether there’s any chance Trump succeeds where George W. Bush failed.

Political strategist Joe Trippi and celebrated political journalist Joe Klein have had court-side seats to the rise and fall of American presidents for 40 years. But 2025’s gotta take the cake, right? Between the domestic deployments, Epstein, the affordability delusion, and so, so much more, no wonder MAGA is finally collapsing under its own weight. But if 2026 is going to be any better, we have to celebrate the political leaders with the moral courage to keep fighting for a better tomorrow.
