Charles C. W. Cooke, senior writer at National Review and host of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, joined The Guy Benson Show to react to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's aggressive remarks about Republicans. Cooke explained why this kind of rhetoric undermines any effort to seriously counter Trump's political dominance from the Democrats. Benson and Cooke also discussed new polling showing Trump slipping on economic approval nearly 100 days into his second term, and the Democrats' tendency to elevate deeply flawed figures as heroes of their movement. Cooke also discussed his skepticism toward Trump's proposed tax overhaul, which would eliminate all income taxes for those earning under $200k, funded entirely by tariffs.

Victor Davis Hanson, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution specializing in classics and military history, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss Trump's recent talks with Zelensky in Italy and what the future holds for the Russia-Ukraine war. Hanson explained why he believes a deal between Russia and Ukraine is likely, with Trump's potential use of secondary boycotts as a key pressure point. He also weighed in on how Trump could leverage major trade deals to reduce tariffs, the Democrats' inconsistent definitions of lawfare, and their tone-deaf approach to lecturing countries like El Salvador. Finally, Hanson blasted the left's manufactured outrage over Trump "not listening" to the Supreme Court, pointing out how Biden openly defied rulings when it suited him.

Guy and Jimmy then turned to politics and Pete Buttigieg’s odd media blitz defending “good government,” despite his Department of Transportation being riddled with inefficiencies.
