Summary
Reporter Madeline Peltz joins the show to talk about her years of covering Turning Point USA, the liberal journalists who suck up to Nazis, and how liberals and leftists focus on elections over building movements. Plus, the right's ability to embrace anyone who wants in, how right-wing women are losing faith in MAGA and why we keep not believing what the right is telling us straight up that they are doing.
