After a brief re-dive into the ongoing Abrego Garcia case, the gang digs into Trump’s threat to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status over the university’s refusal to alter its protest and DEI policies, freezing billions in federal funds in the process. They also examine Kamala Harris’s potential run for California governor, a move that polls show splits Democratic voters and draws skepticism from political elites. With Harris leading early polls for the 2028 presidential race, the crew discusses whether this detour to Sacramento would help or hurt her national prospects.
