Hello from Washington, I'm Chuck Todd, cast. So my guest today is Jonah Goldberg. It's kind of what some in our space might say an emergency

podcast type of thing. This is one of those. I beg Jonah to come on because this has

been one of the weirder weeks. Jonah of course is the co-founder, editor-in-chief of

the dispatch.

Generally, one of the smartest columnists working today,

and he wrote something that I want to dig into,

but before we get started, I do want to remind you, stick around.

We have a listener question I always love it when my producers want to call it a viewer question

It's like I don't ever want viewers of this podcast. No video nobody needs to see what Joan and I look like

And please remember to submit your questions to the Chuck Toddcast at gmail.com and don't forget the the the

but the reason I wanted to talk to Jonah is because this has been and is, as I previewed

this for him, he said don't jinx it, but this has been perhaps one of the weirdest week

we've had in a long time.

A brain-eating parasite and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Stormy Daniels is testifying the day Israel goes into Raffa.

A sidebar story was Marjorie Taylor Green trying to get rid of another speaker of the House.

We have a US senator who decided it would be good politics for him to hang out at a hush

money trial with Donald Trump.

A member of Congress is saying that the Ku Klux Klan is the military

wing of the Democratic Party.

I don't know if Jonah saw that one this week.

That was Scott Perryism.
