Tucker Carlson goes full Putin. Never go full Putin. The Georgia state legislature is trying to pass legislation undermining District Attorney Fani Willis. Will they succeed in undermining the looming Trump indictment? Tennessee lawmakers ban drag shows. What can we do to fight back against such blatant bullying? Then, GOP states are pulling out of a critical interstate voting consortium. That may seem boring, but this could have massive implications for future elections. Finally, we’ll talk about a few lowlights from the CPAC conference, including a DailyWire host who called for transgenderism to be eradicated.

The FBI and Department of Energy now believe COVID was the result of a lab leak in China. Republicans are now running with this, claiming a liberal media conspiracy and cover-up. Are they right? We’ll talk about what we know, who screwed up, and point out a few inconvenient facts for the GOP. Biden’s student loan relief has landed in front of the Supreme Court. What can we glean from oral arguments? Is the relief program in trouble? Oh, and of course we have some GOP on GOP infighting, once again checking in with the ongoing imbroglio between DeSantis and Trump.

A seismic indictment in Georgia? The special grand jury foreperson is sharing snippets of information that make Trump and everyone in his orbit nervous. Then, internal Fox messages released in the $1.6 billion Dominion defamation case show the network’s hosts internally knew trump was lying despite continuing to spread those lies. Will Fox’s viewers finally realize the contempt the network has for them? Finally, President Joe Biden visited Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Ukraine. It should be a reason for all Americans to come together and applaud the president — but of course the right couldn’t even do that.
