Full Episode - The Democrats Desperately Need A Rebrand + Is Trump Driving U.S. Towards Economic Recession & Government Shutdown?

Chuck Todd weighs in on a whirlwind of news from geopolitical turmoil in Europe and the Middle East, to Trump's Orwellian denials of his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. He also argues that the Democratic party desperately needs a rebrand that doesn't involve the word socialism. Then, he's joined by political strategist and K-Street veteran Bruce Mehlman to discuss the effect of a fractured media on American politics, why Trump's tariffs are likely to stay in place, why the bad "vibes" surrounding the economy were correct and why the pullback from globalization will hurt the American economy.
