I was trying to figure out, are we in the Trump administration or the Biden administration? Hunt jibed. Because there was a heck of a lot during the Biden administration of attempts to take numbers that looked rosy and convince people that their lives were fine. They didn't buy it then, do you think they're going to buy it now? Haberman replied: I agree with you that, yes, certainly there has been a similarity in terms of how President Biden and how President Trump have handled how voters feel about their own personal economic situations.

When the optimism of the early movement had begun to fade, and leadership had begun to fracture, and when the country seemed to have grown bored, gotten weary of the idea of justice and equality, and moved on to other concerns, Obama said, Reverend Jackson rose above despair, and kept that righteous flame alive.

Could she be the First Black woman to be president? Kamala, or rather her platform, was hardly inventive. When engaged on its fundamentals, it was largely conservative. Not conservative like Charlie Kirk... conservative meaning, it preserved many pieces of America as is-just as a conservationist preserves the trees of a forest. It was a platform that largely fit hand-in-glove with Bidenomics: protect corporate global interests, overfund all military and law enforcement, and yes-promote electric cars, along with a dash of maternal health reform, abortion protections, and a short-lived national rent cap promise.

National anger over the crisis unfolding in Minneapolis is intense, and much of it is rightly directed at the Trump administration for its openly authoritarian approach to immigration enforcement. But another culprit is getting a pass. What is unfolding is the logical outcome of a political failure that began years earlier. Joe Biden lost control of the southern border, his party denied the consequences, and Donald Trump returned to power with an entitled sense of political permission to govern through force, which he readily embraced.

On this episode, Tabitha Monahan and Cónal Thomas from the Irish Independent political team break down the Government's new housing policy that strangely has no annual targets. Can it finally solve the crisis or is it set to fail? As Fianna Fáil's presidential fiasco shows no sign of going away, is it in danger of becoming a "perma-crisis" for Taoiseach Micheál Martin?
