Trump Takes a Tanker, Democrats Take the Bait, and The 10 Dumbest Things Said This Week

Trump seizes a Venezuelan ghost tanker, Democrats defend drug dealers, and gas hits $2 in some states. In the first half of the episode, I explain why Trump needs to rally in 2025, how Chuck Schumer can't dodge Obamacare ownership, and why Ted Lieu's "distraction" theory falls apart against Biden's own 1989 drug war speeches. And our good friend Lileks is back for The 10 Dumbest Things Said This Week!
