President Trump clashes with Senate Majority Leader John Thune as the SAVE Act fight heats up, a former Biden-era Air Force secretary loses classified access over an alleged Air Force One disclosure, and the Senate confirms 74 Trump nominees in one massive vote.
In this Saturday morning livestream, I’m breaking down the biggest political and national-security stories of the week, including Trump’s refusal to endorse Thune for another term as leader, his strong backing of Speaker Mike Johnson, the battle over voter ID and proof of citizenship, Kamala Harris’ attack on the SAVE America Act, and what the Pentagon’s Air Force One controversy could mean for classified-information security.
We’ll also cover the Senate’s confirmation of 74 Trump nominees and the growing Candace Owens–Andrew Wilson debate controversy surrounding claims about Charlie Kirk.
