Trouble Between Trump And His MAGA Base?

Andrew Walworth, Carl Cannon and Emily Jashinsky, host of the new podcast “After Party,” discuss whether recent Trump decisions on immigration and the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files will hurt his base supporters. They also talk about Elon Musk and problems this week with his AI platform Grok, which posted anti-Semitic comments. Will artificial intelligence emerge as a political issue in 2026 and beyond? Plus, they have the “You Cannot Be Serious” stories for the week. Next, Andrew Walworth and Carl Cannon talk with presidential historian Tevi Troy about the connection between U.S. presidents and Iran, and whether the two countries can ever restore normal relations. And then, Maggie Miller talks with Realclear Investigations writer Ben Weingarten about his recent article on how the Trump Administration wants to change who is included in the U.S. census, and why leaving illegal aliens out of the count could alter the balance of power in the House and affect who wins the presidency.
