Democrats on Defense: Fauci's Diary, Gavin's Skeltons, & the Michigan Debate

In today's episode, we cover the biggest political and national security stories shaping the headlines. We begin with the memorial honoring Senator Lindsey Graham before turning to President Donald Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. As Ukraine continues to make battlefield gains against Russia, we discuss what appears to be a shift in Trump's outlook toward Zelensky and what it could mean for the future of U.S. support for Ukraine. Next, we examine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House, the political backlash from the American left, and the broader implications for the U.S.-Israel alliance. We also break down the Michigan Democratic gubernatorial debate, where candidates sparred over inflation, immigration, Israel, public safety, and the rising cost of living. We discuss the debate's biggest moments and what they reveal about the direction of today's Democratic Party. Ahead of a major congressional hearing, we review newly released excerpts from Anthony Fauci's private COVID-era diary and compare them with his public statements during the pandemic. We discuss what lawmakers are expected to examine and why these revelations are drawing renewed scrutiny. Finally, we open Gavin's Skeletons in the Closet as explosive new reporting revisits one of Gavin Newsom's biggest political scandals. We unpack the latest allegations, the renewed media attention, and what the controversy could mean for Newsom's political future.
