Cracks have already surfaced over Ukraine and tariffs, but so far no one has been willing to publicly criticize Trump. Why is this the red line for the President's supporters? Internal divisions over Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson are further sowing the seeds of discontent inside the GOP. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to the Canadian federal budget which passed this week without serious opposition from the other parties. Andrew gives his take on where the parties stand: Will the NDP vote for far left politician Avi Lewis as their next leader? Will Pierre Poilievre get enough support in his upcoming leadership review? And can Mark Carney build bridges with Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith and start delivering real results to voters after a long grace period?
