Episode notes

Zack beacham, senior correspondent at vox.com: We know something kind of like hungary is not implausible. You couldn't imagine any kind of top down electoral rigging in the way that you get in hungary. But what you could imagine is a basically successful attempt to change enough states into hungary like statelets or fiefdoms. That's not inconceivable and it's also not inevitable, right? It depends depends on what democrats choose to do. And if republicans continue down the path that they are on.

The Conservative Political Action Conference, which is like Republican Coachella, is usually held stateside, but this week it's throwing a party in Budapest, Hungary. Noel King got kicked out.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan with Haleema Shah, edited by Jolie Myers and Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and Victoria Dominguez, engineered by Paul Mounsey and Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Noel King.
