Whether you missed a show or just want the essential highlights in one place, this is your weekly watchlist for fighting for democracy, calling out the chaos, and keeping the pressure on the orange fascist trying to tear it all down.
1. Mary Trump & Steven Beschloss on Trump’s Declining Mental State
On the debut of Six Questions with Steven Beschloss, Mary Trump says that Donald Trump’s cognitive decline is worsening and argues that the danger is not just what is changing, but what is being revealed. She connects Trump’s decline to impulse control, humiliation, narcissistic collapse, and the deeper psychological traits she says have been present all along.
2. Rick Wilson & Matthew Dowd on Trump Getting Bored in Iran
Rick Wilson and former GOP strategist Matthew Dowd discuss Trump’s handling of Iran, the damage to America’s global credibility, and why the political fallout may hit hardest at the gas pump. Dowd explains why rising prices are uniquely dangerous for Trump because voters see the number every time they fill up.
3. Joe Trippi & Joe Klein on a Big Dem Win in Montana
Sam Forstag’s Montana primary win wasn’t just about one race — it was a message about what Democratic voters are looking for. In this conversation with veteran Democratic strategist Joe Trippi and longtime political columnist Joe Klein, Forstag explains why working-class credibility, affordability, union power, housing costs, and economic urgency are reshaping what kind of Democrat can win.
4. Frank Figliuzzi & Dr. Dominique Roe-Sepowitz on FIFA & Human Trafficking
As the World Cup comes to American cities, former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi asks Dr. Dominique Roe-Sepowitz what major events actually reveal about human trafficking. She explains why the bigger issue is not a sudden spike, but the trafficking problem already happening every day and why arresting victims is the wrong response.
5. Bobby Jones on Netanyahu Dog-Walking Trump on Iran
Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones explains why Trump’s Iran crisis is not a clean peace process — it is a diplomatic corner shaped by Netanyahu, Israel, and Trump’s own self-inflicted decisions. On Anchor Watch, Bobby and Sam Osterhout break down why Trump has no easy way out.

We need a handful of sick old men to drop dead.
All of these demonstrate that NO our leader has NO easy way out, no one to throw the blame to and "HE" really wants to walk away from Iran, but "HE" should NEVER have gone there to begin with. He should never have let Bibi suck him in. Why in God's name did he actually think this would just be an excursion that would last a couple of weeks? Because he's never experienced war by being in one.
