About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by Vice President JD Vance and features a review of the film adaptation of The Odyssey.

Nobody has become a target in the Trump Administration quite like Vice President JD Vance, who finds himself under fire just about every time he gives an interview — and mostly from his own side. What's going on? Michael Knowles and Sean Davis break down the goals of the faction trying to bring the VP down. Plus, Hillsdale's Benedict Whalen gives his review of the new film adaptation of The Odyssey and explains why Homer's epic poem remains relevant 2700 years after it was written.
