On today's Talkin' Politics, S.E. takes a look at Trump’s latest poll numbers, which show cratering support on even his signature issues of immigration and the economy. Trump roundly defeated Biden in 2024, but voters are now saying they prefer his job performance to Trump’s. Then, she looks ahead to the Democratic Party’s plans for the midterms with her guest, Pennsylvania Congressman Brendan Boyle.

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.

Talkin' Politics: A warning to Republican lawmakers: Save yourselves

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/dcac5296-5d8d-4f66-8ad3-b3f0016ab1db/transcript

S.E. traces her own arc back to her conservative awakening in college (what young mind doesn’t find fiscal responsibility exciting?) and explains how Reagan’s “party of ideas” appealed to her. Pre-Trump, she hoped to inject some new ideas into the GOP platform, but instead, the Republican Party went the opposite way from ideas when it molded itself in Trump’s image. How do we get back to an America where you can count on free elections, free press, free speech, freedom of assembly, no matter what you look like or what you believe in, and a government that won't attack those institutions for its own personal gain or self-survival? Journalist John Avlon also joins to weigh in, including reflecting on his own arc – he came to a political consciousness from the other side than S.E., but now considers himself a proud “fighting centrist.” Finally, a listener asks S.E. a relevant question about the fallout she has experienced critiquing her own side since 2016.

What happened to the party of ideas?

The Hantavirus headlines are giving 2020. So if you’re failing to suppress your COVID flashbacks or swallow the eerie feeling that we’re “here again,” S.E. has some leveled guidance. Dr. Jeremy Faust is an ER physician in Boston, an editor in chief of MedPage Today, and associate professor at Harvard Medical School, and he is here to break down the Hantavirus - how it compares to Covid, what we should really be worried about, and the unfortunate politics wrapped up in it. But first, S.E. shares her hot takes on Trump’s self-interest and advice for Democrats on how to play this redistricting mess.

People sometimes draw comparisons between reality-TV-star-turned-politician Spencer Pratt and another certain figure who managed to spin reality show stardom into political power. And the comparisons are worth exploring – in this conversation with Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, SE asks him about his relationship to MAGA. But there’s more than that to his story, which started as a “villain” on the early 2000s MTV reality series The Hills. In this conversation, SE discusses with Pratt his plans to improve the quality of life in Los Angeles. But first, she offers some reflections on “platforming” people who aspire to power with whom SE or some in the audience may disagree.
