Is Elon a Drag on Trump?

Elon Musk holds a rambling Oval Office press conference and
admits that he and DOGE will make mistakes as they rampage
through our government, even as congressional Republicans move
forward with a budget that promises massive cuts to healthcare,
education, and food assistance to pay for Trump's tax cuts for
billionaires. Jon and Dan discuss whether Musk's antics could
undermine Trump's agenda, what the Senate's confirmation of RFK
Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard means for the GOP, and the White House's
attacks on the press. Then, they debut a new segment: "Wait, Did
That Really Happen?," featuring this week's most absurd scenes.
Later, Lovett sits down with Rohit Chopra, recently forced out as
Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to discuss
why Trump and Musk are so determined to shut down the CFPB, and
what it means for the rest of us.
