Summary

Our friend Mike Podhorzer joins Joe and Alex (yes, he's back) to uncover the state of the 2024 election and what's coming. Sure, Ron DeSantis had a horrendous campaign launch. But why clowning on him is missing the bigger threat. Mike also makes a really important point: Why is history repeating itself - and why ultra-MAGA tactics look a lot like Jim Crow. Plus - Mike highlights the "hack" ultra-MAGA has into our constitutional system. And we get into why the obsession with Joe Biden's approval ratings is the wrong question. What questions should the media be focused on -- and what numbers actually matter right now?

0:00.0	Hey everybody it's Joe Trippy and welcome back to that Trippy show. This week, Alex is back. No, we're not replacing him
0:16.1	with Bradley Whitford, though I did try. Oh, no, I tried. I tried. I really did. But we do have another special guest. Last week I talked to Bradley about the rising
0:25.9	fascism in the GOP. Ultramagga tactics also remind us of another dark period in American history.
0:34.0	Alex and I have been talking to our friend Mike Pothorser about it
0:38.0	and we think you'll want to hear our conversation.
0:41.0	So Mike graciously agreed to come back on he's one of our

1:25.3	Alex. I want you to know. Mike I know there's plenty of you want to get to and Joe alluded to it
1:30.8	but we have to talk about last night recording this on a
1:34.3	Thursday last night Ron DeSantis I think the best word I'm going to use is
1:38.8	attempted to launch his presidential campaign we knew it was coming for a while. Joe and I weren't sure
1:44.3	whether he'd actually do it. We're still questioning how long he'll be in but obviously
