election process

One day we’re talking about the 2024 presidential election being a re-match of the 2020 election. The next day we’re watching the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives being defenestrated through a historic vote OUT of the Speakership. What is going on here? Is it a new level of crazy, or not that new at all? Karl Rove puts this period of political dysfunction in historical context. Rove served as Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush and White House Deputy Chief of Staff from 2004–2007. He was architect of both of President Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, and the 2002 midterm election strategy for the Republicans. He is the author "The Triumph of William McKinley '' and also "Courage and Consequence". He writes a weekly column for The Wall Street Journal.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to former press secretary Sean Spicer about why he left Newsmax; why the mainstream media is being destroyed by smaller, independent media outlets; what really goes on in newsrooms that the viewers don’t see; little-known details about Tucker Carlson’s firing; why the reaction to CNN’s Trump town hall proves that media outlets have learned nothing; the real reason Trump went against his advice to court the New York Times after his election victory; his real feelings on White House press secretaries Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre; how White House press briefings go much differently when you’re a Republican; why the debt ceiling debate is a ticking time bomb; and much more.
