On this week’s Substack LIVE discussion, Charlie Sykes and I dive into the latest political headlines shaking up the U.S. and beyond.

We discuss:

-- Trump’s Third Term Tease? Steve Bannon dropped a bombshell in an Economist interview, claiming Trump “is going to get a third term” and hinting at a secret plan.

-- Tariff Tit-for-Tat with Canada: Trump announced a 10% hike on U.S. imports from Canada, firing back at Ontario’s anti-tariff ad featuring Ronald Reagan’s voice and words.

-- Key Elections Ahead: Spotlight on upcoming races in NY, NJ, and VA — how can Democrats thread the needle between rallying extremists and appealing to steady centrists?

-- Trump’s Health Update: The president revealed he had an MRI earlier this month, calling results “perfect” but dodging details on why docs ordered it.

-- Obama’s Pelosi Frustration: In his new book “Retribution,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl reveals Obama was furious over Nancy Pelosi’s swift endorsement of Kamala Harris, reportedly blasting her with, “What the f–k did you just do?”

-- Venezuela’s CIA Conspiracy Claim: Officials say they nabbed a “mercenary group” tied to the CIA, plotting a false-flag attack. Could this war escalate?

-- Biden Doc Under Fire: President Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, faces referral to the DC Board of Medicine for potential license revocation or sanctions.-- And MUCH more!
