About this episode
The episode discusses the Pentagon's leadership crisis, political reactions to Trump's trade war, the impact of AI on elections, and features a book discussion on Trump's influences.
Tonight on The Last Word: The lack of leadership inside the Pentagon worsens with the army secretary’s resignation. Also, Democrats slam Republicans for their silence on Trump’s trade war and rising costs. Plus, AI data centers could swing Wisconsin elections in November. And a new book, “American Scoundrel,” explores what Trump learned from Roy Cohn. Ali Velshi, Rep. Chris Deluzio, Rep. Brendan Boyle, Rebecca Cooke, and Kai Bird join Jonathan Capehart.
