Austin Berg (Chicago Policy Center) and Andrew Egger (The Bulwark) join Mike to dissect Trump's marathon State of the Union: was it a missed opportunity to reach the median voter, or a "clip farming" masterclass? They also unpack the awkwardly timed Supreme Court tariff ruling that derailed his economic pitch, and the high-stakes standoff between the Pentagon and AI giant Anthropic over autonomous weapons. Finally, Goat Grinders tackles the agony of vinyl record tariffs, the performative scourge of handheld lavalier mics, and how Twitter ruins the Winter Olympics.

With the U.S. military amassing in the Middle East ahead of possible strikes in Iran, a Democratic lawmaker explains his effort to limit the president.
The United States Constitution empowers Congress, not the president, to declare war.
That hasn’t stopped plenty of presidents from commanding military combat.
It didn’t stop President Trump from ordering airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites last year – and building up the U.S. military in the Middle East while he mulls further action this year.
So far in this Trump administration, efforts to reclaim that Congressional authority have failed.
