Summary

Founder of the Stewart Group and former aide to Senators Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn, Don "Stew" Stewart discusses the daring rescue of an American airman in Iran and the looming battles over President Trump's Department of War budget. Plus, Dana and Stew examine why healthcare remains the top concern for voters heading into the midterms. Purple State: Stew points out how viral branding has taken over traditional policy platforms, and both sides of the aisle are grappling with a "death of policy" that prioritizes a TikTok-ready personality.
