Mile High Bribe Club

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a bribe! President Trump, just
before setting off on a tour of the Gulf states, announces that
he plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari
royal family — one of the largest and most brazenly corrupt gifts
ever received by an American president. House Republicans finally
release details of their proposed cuts to Medicaid, but will
their plan to cut the health insurance of 9 million Americans
find enough support from moderates and hard-liners? And, of
course, there's more tariff news, with the administration
announcing a 90-day-pause (kind of) in the trade war with China.
Jon, Lovett, and Tommy talk about Democrats' response to Trump's
shiny new bribe, Stephen Miller's recent attacks on habeas
corpus, and why the president's new drug pricing executive order
isn't a serious solution to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
Then, Tommy sits down with his doppelgänger, Rob Sand, to talk
about Sand's campaign for Iowa governor.
