Hey everybody, we got a great one today, you know, for a change, because finally, I got a new guest, Dana Milbank from the Washington Post.

Not one of my normal repeat guests like Norm Ornstein or Dahlia Lithwick who are okay they're great too very

authoritative and brilliant both Norman and Dahlia so this is a great one today as usual

see that's right as usual I'm gonna say it because when I open the show with, we've got a great one today, you know, for a change, that's a conceit.

You see, because it's cheeky. And what it's really saying is that all of these are great. Okay, this is the first time I've pulled back the curtain.

We've got a great one today for a change conceit. And I hope that doesn't. Okay, this is the first time I've pulled back the curtain.

We've got a great one today for a change conceit.

And I hope that doesn't ruin the joke for you, which is always the first joke in each podcast.

But you know what?

I think that needlessly explicating that joke makes it even funnier.

And I'm not doing it again. This is the first and only time.

So those of you who've just had the privilege and benefit of my over-explaining the joke,

don't share that with anyone. That'll be my little gift for you. So Dana Millbank has covered Congress for decades now, and I've been fascinated and appalled by what has and is happening in the House.

This week, the absolute worst people in the House being rewarded precisely for being the worst people, getting prime

committee assignments, Marjorie Taylor Green, who in the last Congress was stripped of her

committee assignments because of stuff she had said in the past, a 9-11 denier.

She said no plane had hit the Pentagon.

She has said that the shootings at Parkland were a false flag and called for Speaker Pelosi to be executed for treason.

That space lasers from the Rothschild banking family. It started the wildfires in California.

And of course, that was crazy. Those were George Soros space lasers. Yes, they were Jewish

space lasers, but for the Soros family. But this week, a 9-11 denier was given a prime slot on the Homeland Security Committee as a reward for backing Kevin McCarthy.

And she joins Lauren Bobert, Scott Perry, and Paul Gozar on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.
