    The Daily Blast: Don’t Be Fooled: Here’s How We Know RFK Jr. Is Tacitly Boosting Trump

    The Daily Blast: Don’t Be Fooled: Here’s How We Know RFK Jr. Is Tacitly Boosting Trump

    New polls this week offered something of a surprise: They show Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential run pulling more support from Donald Trump than from President Biden. And even some Republicans are publicly insisting that they fear the same. One person who is deeply skeptical of this reading is veteran Democratic strategist and podcaster Joe Trippi. We chatted with Trippi about his grand theory of the election, why he thinks the only threat RFK poses is to Biden, and how Trump and Republicans are attempting to disguise all of it with a clever bait-and-switch.

    The Daily Blast: Why Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Fury Is About to Get Worse for the GOP

    The Daily Blast: Why Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Fury Is About to Get Worse for the GOP

    Now that Mike Johnson allowed Ukraine aid to pass the House on a broad bipartisan basis, an enraged Marjorie Taylor Greene is ramping up her threats to oust the Speaker. But a funny thing has happened: For many reasons, Greene’s efforts could end up accomplishing little for the MAGA right, even as they do more to endanger GOP control of the House. We chatted with Democratic Representative Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, a shrewd observer of all these dynamics, about the possibilities of more coalition governing, the future of MAGA in the House, and the threat posed by the ticking time bomb otherwise known as MTG.

Bravo, Noga!

...26:44 April 3, 2024, “I’m curious, from the three of you, what do you wish Joe Biden had done?” Noga Tarnopolsky asked David, Eddie, and Meir Kahane’s own Rosa Brooks regarding U.S. policy in the Land of the Chosen People of the Kahane Master Race. The Pundits’ responses were, at best, mediocre if not downright pathetic. Bravo, Noga! Bravo! Encore! Encore!
