About this episode
The episode discusses the Democrats' extreme tactics and Trump's primary strategy ahead of the midterms.
Vile hatred is pouring out of the Democrat party. The fellas break down the Democrats’ escalating race to the bottom, from House Democrats openly talking about “breaking” MAGA supporters to radical candidates embracing anti-semitic extremism and online left-wing insanity. Plus, the media’s double standard gets exposed again as Democrats rally around controversial figures like Graham Platner while pretending none of it reflects the modern party. Then, the crew analyzes Trump’s aggressive primary strategy after major wins in Kentucky and the growing battle in Texas. Will Trump’s push to reshape the GOP strengthen the party heading into the midterms — or create new problems in the Senate? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
