In this explosive debut episode of Political Rehab, Matt Robison and Matt Wylie dive headfirst into a chaotic week in American politics—unpacking the scandals, power plays, and political theater dominating headlines. From Trump’s latest authoritarian flashes to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden “extreme makeover,” nothing is off-limits.
We kick things off with The Trump Dump, where Trump’s bizarre attacks on female reporters. Then, we break down the newly released Epstein files—why they may ignite more conspiracy theories, not fewer, and how both parties could weaponize them.
Next, we examine MTG’s surprising pivot toward moderation. Is this a rebrand, revenge, remorse—or all three? And is she the GOP’s canary in the coal mine as Republicans brace for a brutal midterm cycle?
Then we explore Trump’s sudden calls for military action in Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela—classic wag the dogtactics or legitimate policy? Plus: Is the Department of Justice collapsing under political pressure, amateur prosecutions, and internal chaos?
In our “Ask MattGPT” segment, we take on one of the most misunderstood economic myths in America: Who actually pays for Trump’s tariffs? Spoiler: it’s not foreign governments.
And in our fiery new weekly segment, That’s Bullsh@t, we debunk Trump’s false claims about inflation, grocery prices, Thanksgiving costs, and his fantasy economics that don’t survive contact with reality.
Finally, we close with a much-needed Dose of Hope, spotlighting surprising signs of political accountability, shifting voter trends, and cracks in the partisan gerrymandering system.
This episode is sharp, funny, unfiltered—and exactly the political detox America needs.
