White House in Crisis

July 11, 2026; 8am: Gas prices are poised to climb again as the conflict with Iran escalates. Moody's chief economist estimates the average household has already spent roughly $1,000 more because of the war. And Trump refused to sign a bi-partisan housing bill that became law anyway at midnight. It's one of the few measures that would actually help with the affordability crisis. But Trump refused to sign it in protest over Republican refusal to pass his voter restriction bill, the SAVE America Act. As those challenges mount, the President and his friends have devoted increasing attention to something else entirely: tributes to Donald Trump and his pet projects. New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and authors of “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” join The Weekend to break down the ongoing chaos at the White House and the President's fixation on his vanity projects instead of voter issues.
