Summary
First, they cheer Gov. DeSantis for urging Republicans in Washington to focus on the economy and immigration and to bring many more conservative pieces of legislation to the floor that are popular with the American people. Some bills might pass and the others will put Democrats in a difficult spot the next time they run for re-election. So why isn't this happening?
Next, they dig into Jim's column looking at the percentage of people who align with the right and embrace conspiracy theories like 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was faked, and the Holocaust was either greatly exaggerated or didn't happen as historians claim. Why is this happening and what does it mean for the future of the political right?
Finally, they rip Rep. Omar for blaming everyone except the actual criminals in the Minnesota welfare scandal. She blames a rushed process for setting the stage for all the fraud. And wait until you hear who she blames if any of the money ended up with terrorists in Somalia. And they also highlight the pathetic attempt of Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan to make the GOP the villain in this story

| 0:50.9 | But Jim, the politics, the big news, it doesn't stop. And so we cover it here from |
| 0:55.8 | good to bad to crazy. Today we'll be talking about Ilhan Omar's attempt to make Somalis the victims and |
| 1:01.9 | blame the federal government for the massive welfare fraud crisis in Minnesota. Democrats in |
| 1:08.5 | Minnesota, of course, not their fault at all. |
| 1:16.3 | We'll also be taking a closer look at what you wrote about today, and that's the increasing belief in conspiracy theories on the right, and what can be done about that, but we'll also, |
| 1:21.9 | in just a moment, be talking about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, one of my favorite politicians, |
| 1:27.1 | and some just smart, |
| 1:28.8 | aggressive advice he's got for Republican leadership in the U.S. Congress. |
| 1:32.7 | But before we get to all that, I have to tell you over the weekend, Jim, Omaha steaks were |
| 1:37.1 | on the menu in the Carumbus House, and I could not have been happier about this. |
| 1:41.1 | We had the bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Just think about that combination for a |
