Just recently, Donald Trump endorsed Derrick Van Orden for the 2026 US House election in Wisconsin's 3rd District here, which comes at a peculiar time. Trump, if you haven't noticed, isn't all that popular right now — as compared to the past 80 years of presidents. We talk about why that is, how Van Orden has pretended to do town halls and positioned himself on upcoming votes to cut benefits for things like Medicaid. 

We began the episode with a note about a recent incident Van Orden shared, saying a letter he received was a "credible threat" to his family and is being handled by the proper authorities. This podcast was recorded before that news and we do not condone violence.
