This week on Rivera and Reeves, we’re diving headfirst into the totally real, not at all manufactured constitutional crisis the media won’t stop screaming about. We break down Trump’s latest executive orders, the media’s obsession with President Musk (wait, what?), and the absolute trainwreck of messaging coming out of the left. Also on deck: foreign policy moves that may have literally stopped a war, and why Elon Musk's Doge task force has journalists clutching their pearls. And to keep things fun, we wrap up with a new segment where we talk about what we’re watching—because sometimes, even we need a break from the madness.

Five Highlights from the Episode:

Trump’s “Unconstitutional” Moves… That Are Actually Totally Legal – We break down why the left’s new constitutional crisis talking point is as empty as their approval ratings.
The Elon Musk Panic Continues – The media loses its mind over Musk answering questions at a presser. Did he take over the government, or was he just doing his job?
Ukraine and Russia: Is Trump Negotiating Peace in Record Time? – A phone call, a few meetings, and suddenly there’s actual diplomacy happening. Who knew?
Doge Task Force vs. The Bureaucracy – Billions of taxpayer dollars are missing, mismanaged, or magically appearing in NGO bank accounts, and some people don’t want you asking questions about it.
TV Shows to Take a Break From the Madness – From Downton Abbey to Severance, we share what we’re watching when we’re not yelling about politics.
