Citing the erosion of checks and balances, King warns of the rising threat of concentrated executive power and the undermining of the rule of law.

Can Trump’s Chaos Save Us From Trump? + Why the GOP Might Be Doomed Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

In this fiery Substack LIVE replay, Matt Lewis (The Hill and LA Times) and Bill Scher (Washington Monthly) tackle the paradox of Donald Trump’s incompetence potentially blunting his authoritarian ambitions.

Then things get even spicier: is the Republican Party coming apart at the seams? Bill lays out why budget reconciliation and internal GOP schisms — especially over tax cuts — could spell the beginning of the end.

We also unpack the bizarre rise of “menstrual classes,” pro-natalism, and the not-so-hidden agenda behind the push for more (white) babies. From tariffs to Steve Bannon’s tax hike dreams, this episode has it all.

Watch now for sharp insights, biting wit, and the political analysis you didn’t know you needed, including:

-- Whether Trump's chaos and incompetence might save us from his authoritarian tendencies.

-- Why "budget reconciliation" is exposing internal contradictions within the GOP, possibly leading to long-term fractures and branding problems (are they the party of "no taxes"?) that could be ruinous.

-- The case for (and against) the GOP's quest to have more babies (plus, exposing some hidden agendas).

-- Why David Hogg is wrong to try to "primary" older moderate Democratic incumbents.

-- And MUCH more!
