Thank you very much for your support. This is the Daily Blast from the New Republic produced and presented by the DSR Network.

I'm your host Greg Sergeant.

Maga Republicans are floating an insane new conspiracy theory.

President Biden's FBI was ready to quote

take out Donald Trump when agents searched Marilago for the documents that

Trump stole. Take out are Trump's words. This idea is based on a wildly absurd reading of FBI policy,

fascistic politics that Trump and his MAGA allies engage in regularly.

who specializes in fascism studies.

He is the author of a great new piece in the New Republic's new issue on American fascism, which will also be discussing.

Federico, great to have you on.
