Deep dives
Summary of the Incident with Victor Wambanyama
Britney Spears approached Victor Wambanyama in a Vegas hotel, and her hand made contact with his back, to which his security guard responded by putting his hand up to block her and accidentally hitting her face. Despite this, police have declined to bring charges against the security guard.
Summary of Ray Epps' Defamation Lawsuit
Ray Epps, known for his involvement in the January 6th protests, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News. The lawsuit does not include Tucker Carlson specifically, leading to speculation that Epps and his lawyer are hoping for a settlement from Fox News. The lawsuit raises questions about Epps' alleged ties to the federal government and whether Tucker Carlson's statements about him were protected speech.
Summary of the Brittany Spears Incident
Britney Spears approached French basketball player Victor Wambanyama in a Vegas hotel, attempting to get his attention but inadvertently touching him. Wambanyama's security guard reacted by blocking Spears and accidentally hitting her. Police have declined to press charges against the security guard.
Comparing Carter and Biden: Similarities in Mismanagement
The book highlights the similarities between Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden in terms of mismanagement. While Carter inherited certain problems, Biden had the opportunity to avoid them. Both expanded the role of government, handicapped private industry, and saw disastrous outcomes in foreign policy. Biden's lack of interest in foreign affairs and his preference for multilateralism hinder America's leadership position in the world.
Reagan's Optimistic Message for America
The book emphasizes the importance of Reagan's optimistic message during the Carter era. Reagan's ability to provide a vision for a better America resonated with voters. The Republican Party today should learn from Reagan's approach and focus on delivering an uplifting message rather than solely tapping into anger and frustration. A positive and visionary leader can lead the country to a brighter future.
The Need for Strong Foreign Policy Leadership
The podcast discusses the importance of strong foreign policy leadership in the face of challenges like the Ukraine crisis. Biden's lack of effective management and his reluctance to confront adversaries like Putin has weakened America's position. It is crucial for Republicans to articulate a strong foreign policy stance, demonstrating leadership and a commitment to America's global interests.

Ron DeSantis happening next week.

Then Kimberley Strassel, author of "The Biden Malaise," joins to discuss the lack of findings in the White House cocaine investigation, parallels between Carter's administration and the Biden administration and why Biden is actually worse than Carter, the state of the GOP race in 2024, whether Biden will actually be the Democratic nominee, the potential for a third party "No Labels" spoiler, whether America should be leading more in Ukraine, how Trump says he'll end the war in 24 hours, Biden's creepy moment with a little girl overseas, and more.
