The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.
Brad is first joined by Tara Devlin, the host of the podcast, 'TARABUSTER.'
The two talk about the presidential abuse of power by Donald Trump, along with his unelected sidekick, Elon Musk.
They also discuss Trump's undemocratic portrayal of himself as a King on social media.
Finally, they explore how Democrats can find their backbone and fight back against Trump's attacks on the country.
Then, Brad is joined by award-winning journalist, author, and Podcast host, Brian J. Karem.
The pair discusses Brian's experience as a White House correspondent during both the first and second Trump administrations, his observations on what has changed, and the Associated Press' battle with Trump over access to the White House.
They also analyze how the press can effectively defend their first amendment rights against the Trump administration's attacks.
