Megyn is joined by former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel to discuss why he came on the show, speculation about his 2028 political prospects, the famous story that got him the “dead fish” nickname, how Democrats alienated voters with language policing and a focus on pronouns, why authenticity and strength are key to winning a presidential election, the truth about the issue of men in women’s sports, how American cities became full of crime and homelessness, why America must reinvest in its own workers, how strengthening education can help rebuild struggling cities, the border crisis and President Donald Trump’s immigration success, to Hunter Biden’s vulgar podcast comments about him, why Biden’s political decline was inevitable, how the Dems could have won in 2024, what it will take to win in 2028, and more.
Then, political commentators Mark Halperin, Link Lauren, and Dan Turrentine join to discuss whether Emanuel has what it takes to win the Democratic primary in 2028, how he handled tough questions on gender and immigration, whether a non-woke Democrat can break through with the party’s progressive base, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive claims about Russiagate and the Obama administration, whether this is really new information, if there will be indictments, whether Trump’s base will keep pushing for Epstein transparency, why Trump seems disengaged from the online conversation, and more.
