158. Who’s Really Running Trump’s Foreign Policy?

The podcast analyzes Marco Rubio's Munich Security Conference speech and the implications of Democratic hopefuls attending the conference. Rubio's attempt to balance traditional Republican foreign policy with MAGA ideals is questioned, especially regarding his stance on Russia and Ukraine. The Democrats' presence in Munich is viewed as an effort to project foreign policy credentials for the 2028 election, though concerns are raised about the optics of engaging in foreign policy on foreign soil. The conversation shifts to the US economy, where despite positive headlines, underlying issues such as inflation, unemployment, and the impact of tariffs are discussed. The hosts examine the potential effects of tax rebates and interest rate cuts, while also noting a significant drop in Trump's approval rating among young voters.
