In This Episode
Republicans amp up the fear-mongering on “communism” as Democrats try to move past some of their nominees’ most controversial past statements. In the words of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Woke 1 was crazy.” Jon and Lovett discuss how Democrats can pivot, today’s Democratic primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Trump’s desperation to end the war he started, and his newest executive order on vaccines.
They also react to the Senate Republicans’ YOLO caucus surrendering on Todd Blanche’s confirmation, Jesse Watters’s disdain for the WNBA, and Hunter Biden’s appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show. Then, Lovett is joined by Montana congressional candidate and smokejumper Sam Forstag to discuss why he’s running for office, the impact of the DOGE cuts, the housing crisis in his state, and more.
