On this episode of Political Rehab: Smart Politics Without the Hangover, Matt Robison and Matt Wylie break down Donald Trump’s latest prime-time address and his increasingly desperate pivot to “affordability.” From tariffs and cash handouts to ACA chaos and executive overreach, we explain why the messaging is failing — and why Republicans are stuck defending the indefensible.

In this episode:

· Trump’s combative speech and why his affordability strategy isn’t working

· How tariffs are driving higher costs for American families

· The ACA subsidy deadline disaster and GOP healthcare fallout

· Venezuela, foreign policy brinkmanship, and unchecked executive power

· Cash giveaways, stimulus politics, and election-year economics

· A deep dive into Suzy Wiles’ explosive comments on Trump, JD Vance, and Project 2025

· What a potential AOC vs. JD Vance 2028 matchup says about the future of both parties

We wrap with a much-needed lighter note — a tribute to Rob Reiner, ranking our Top Five Rob Reiner films, including A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, and This Is Spinal Tap — and why his work still matters across politics and culture.

Clear-eyed analysis, sharp debate, and zero hangover.
