Mark opens today’s show with his reported monologue on the Democrats’ ten-year failure to answer a basic question: how to beat Donald Trump at politics. He begins with Trump’s gambit to address Washington, D.C.’s crime troubles, then examines the counterargument from Trump’s opponents – which exposes a major weakness for Democrats and the corporate media: the absence of a clear, consistent “theory of the case” for taking him on. While Trump dominates headlines and shapes the conversation, Mark argues that Democrats still lack a strategy that can counter his media mastery and his connection with voters on many of the issues that matter most.

Then, Joe Scarborough joins the program for a wide-ranging conversation on his strong views about how to grapple with the President, including the political fight over crime, higher education, and the future of American elections. He explains how Democrats have erred in the crime debate against Trump, why pointing to statistics is “maddening” when people don’t feel safe, and how an anti-crime message resonates with Black and working-class voters in D.C. The two also discuss the Trump administration’s crackdown on American universities and Scarborough’s plan for Democrats to turn it into a winning issue. Plus, why Scarborough says running against Republican candidates on their individual records is a far better strategy than making every race about Trump.
