Morning Joe's Absences and Media Decline

🎙️ The latest democrat hoax has fallen apart. The drug boat ‘scandal’ seems to be a big nothingburger. Democrats instantly shifted into defending traffickers once the hoax fell apart. After that, we break down the even stranger week on MSNBC, where Morning Joe skipped town for so long that even their audience noticed. As we looked around for them, it felt like half the media went into witness-protection mode the second their earlier narratives started blowing up.

⚡Then, a Joe and Mika super cut and another Biden disaster. USPS was ordered to buy thousands of EVs no matter how unready the technology was. Plus, Olivia Nuzzi finally sits down with a podcast to break down on camera.️ It was VERY theatrical.

🐘 House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the Progrum to talk through the early days of the new congressional session, what Republicans are preparing in 2026, and why the Biden administration’s regulatory spree is already forcing Congress into crisis-mode oversight. We talk message discipline, the border, and spending fights. It’s a sharp conversation and a great preview of the midterms.
