Turns out, turning up the heat on Fox News really does pay dividends. New data showing that the leaked texts are seriously hurting the right-wing outrage machine. Also - What is the shift in the GOP really about? It's not about going more conservative. Joe and Alex dive into the much darker truth. Why even the optimists have turned dark. And why DeSantis' flip on Ukraine might be a huge blunder -- and why Joe calls it the final come-down from the fantasy that the GOP nomination is anything other than Trump's.

Joe explains why as a campaign manager every time Ron DeSantis goes out he cringes. Why Trump going to war with Fox News is good news for the rest of us. Why is Joe getting shades of 2016 again looking at the Republican primary field? The "yuuuge" danger Fox is facing right now. Why most of the field is stuck being a hostage, and why the press continues to get the frame wrong. And speaking of the wrong frame - why it's nuts to even consider a "succession" plan for Joe Biden when he's doing such a good job.Watch the Fox clip Joe and Alex were laughing about: https://www.axios.com/2023/03/02/republican-2024-primary-fox-news-desantis-trumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/that-trippi-show/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Guest Juliet Jeske of Decoding Fox News joins the show to explain how Fox is dividing us and even divided against itself. This week they framed Biden's democracy trip as a choice between Ukraine and Ohio, doing Putin's propaganda work for him. And then they had MTG on to talk about a "national divorce", spurring their own custody battle between Fox hosts. Is it all for the ratings? That's what the Dominion lawsuit showed.
