Tonight on Nobody Knows Anything, Rob and Jesse welcome Sam Forstag, Montana smokejumper, labor leader, and Democratic congressional candidate, to discuss his uphill battle to flip Montana’s 1st Congressional District. They break down how federal workforce cuts are affecting wildland firefighters, why working-class voters have lost faith in both parties, and how Forstag is building an unlikely coalition of progressives, Republicans, and working people around housing, healthcare, childcare, and economic security. They also examine the growing influence of AI money in politics, the risks of leaving powerful technology companies unchecked, and whether Forstag’s grassroots campaign can overcome millions in outside spending.
From there, the conversation turns to the White House, where Rob and Jesse unpack the latest drama surrounding Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and the bizarre chain of events involving a disastrous interview, internal power struggles, and questions about her future in the administration. They debate whether Wiles has become the indispensable figure keeping Trump’s White House functioning—and what could happen if she’s pushed out.
Then it’s time for the midterm election battlegrounds, as they examine Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign push in Michigan, the debate over Democratic investment in progressive and diverse candidates, and whether the party is putting its money in the right places. They also dig into Elon Musk’s staggering $276 million midterm spending spree, his efforts to influence key Senate races, and whether Republican super PACs can really buy elections—or whether their spending power comes with serious limits.
Finally, they look ahead to 2028, breaking down the latest campaign finance filings, the candidates building enormous war chests, and which potential presidential contenders are already positioning themselves for the next Democratic primary. From political money and working-class representation to White House dysfunction and the future of the Democratic Party, it’s another episode proving that nobody knows anything.
