About this episode

Emily Jashinsky discusses her makeover, Trump cabinet changes, and answers listener questions on various political topics.

On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily opens with some comments about her ‘makeover’ on The Megyn Kelly Show. She then moves on to discuss the break between President Trump and Tucker Carlson and the infamous Easter Day message. Then Emily shares some thoughts about members of the Trump administration including Harmeet Dhillon’s free speech advocacy and why Emily believes Dhillon doesn’t get enough credit for her work, the recent Trump cabinet shake-ups and who she thinks might be out next. She also addresses what’s happening with Iran, in the Strait of Hormuz, and her overall thoughts on the war. Emily answers a series of questions about local and national politics including the future of MAGA, the 2028 White House race, Michele Tafoya’s Senate race, local election in California, Wisconsin, D.C., and the cost-benefit analysis of not voting. She also takes up the topic of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and if she’s a liability. Emily discusses tribal biases, race relations, and the rarity of the United States. She rounds out the show with some questions about Breaking Points and her working relationship with Ryan Grim.
