54:04Now PlayingJoe Walsh, former Republican congressman, joins Jim Acosta to break down Trump's $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund, Pete Hegseth campaigning in Kentucky while the U.S. is at war, and Trump's revenge tour targeting Thomas Massey and John Cornyn. Walsh argues the GOP — not Trump — is responsible for creating a president who believes he is above the law, and warns Republicans privately furious about the slush fund have no one to blame but themselves. With election primaries underway and Trump backing Ken Paxton in Texas, Walsh says the party built this monster — and now they're all paying for it.
PLUS Special Guest Justin Jones, the Tennessee State Rep who is keeping attention focused on GOP gerrymandering and the loss of black voter rights.
