Molly Jong-Fast joins Tom Joscelyn days before the midterms to discuss why corruption has become a top issue for voters, and how gas prices, tariffs, and the war with Iran have made Trump’s pay-to-play presidency impossible to ignore.
If Democrats win, where should oversight start? Jong-Fast argues the answer is the people around Trump: Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, and the corporations that cut deals with the administration, from the Paramount-Skydance merger on down.
They also discuss reining in Big Tech, repealing Section 230, overturning Citizens United, and why Democrats need to abandon “Team Normal” for real reform.
