From Right Wing Insider To Outcast
My interview with Tina Nguyen's on her great new book.
Tina Nguyen’s fantastic new book The MAGA Diaries is an insider look at the right wing farm system that feeds the MAGA movement with smart young people and moves them into media, think tanks, and government. Her story is familiar, funny, and insightful, and I know you’ll enjoy this episode!

The "political grooming" aspect is interesting, though her ex-boyfriend is one of the worst far-right extremists, bar none. I give her credit for extricating herself, at considerable cost.
As to CNN, it's a deliberate choice to sanitize Trump, much like the NYT beltway journalists.
In doing so, they accelerate the erosion of trust in legacy media. And the downward spiral continues.
Hi Rick, a simple question. What do you know about what Steve Schmidt is up to? He is now saying that Dean Phillips asked him to help get his campagn started and has not worked for him or campaigned for him. No payment involved. If he is so adamant about doing all that can be done about stopping Trump, then why would he aid a primary challenge of an incumbent, when we all know that leads to a loss for both? He still sounds fishy. He still goes on and on very convincingly, but only seems to be gathering a choir to preach to.
What is your take, if I may ask?
