Republicans are starting to panic behind the scenes, and the reason is what happens to them in November and what happens to them when Donald Trump is gone.
There is new reporting about Republican senators, not members of the House, worried that Trump could cost them everything eight and a half months from now, not just the House, but also the Senate. We’re going to break down what is happening and why there is suddenly a major problem.
Also, Trump forgets his own endorsement in a bizarre moment that raises new questions, and Marjorie Taylor Greene indicates that the Republican Party may be in trouble going beyond just Trump.
We are also going to look at Dan Bongino, now having left the FBI, back to podcasting, suddenly says there is no Epstein client list and there is no evidence. Is anybody going to buy this? And by the way, he may be telling the truth. It was before that these people were lying incessantly. All of that.
Plus, Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins me to talk about authoritarianism and what happens when the Dear Leader is gone. She’s an expert on this. Going to be a fascinating conversation today.
