    Vivek's 9/11 Spin, Trump's Arrest Theater, and Prigozhin Dies in Plane Crash, with The Fifth Column Hosts | Ep. 613

    Megyn Kelly begins the show discussing the truth about the offensive comments Vivek Ramaswamy made about 9/11 and flirting with "trutherism," the "irritating" way he keeps blaming the media for something he said, how he should have handled it, and more. Then the hosts of The Fifth Column, Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch, join to discuss how GOP voters may react to Vivek's 9/11 comments, conspiracy theories growing on the left and right, how some elements of COVID turning out to be true is leading to more conspiracy thinking, cringe videos showing him working out and playing tennis shirtless, if a millennial candidate should be in office, whether the GOP debate is Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “time to shine” in Trump’s absence tonight, if Chris Christie will be declared the winner by the media, Trump trying to upstage the debate by getting arrested, the breaking news that head of Wagner Group Yevgeny Prigozhin has died in a plane crash in Russia, whether there's a chance this could be accidental or if this was Putin enacting his revenge and shooting down the plane, and more.

    Is Sunak too weak to sack Zahawi?

    Is Sunak too weak to sack Zahawi?

    Nadhim Zahawi’s tax affairs are now becoming a problem for Rishi Sunak. The PM has asked for a full acount of what happened - a change of tune from last week when he said there was nothing to see. Does the PM show resilience from holding on to a colleague under-fire? Or weakness by refusing to face the awkward facts?

    And we speak to YouTube megastar Nas Daily about Chat GPT and replacing creatives with AI, artificial intelligence.

    Masha Gessen offers a plausible Trump-Russia theory

    Masha Gessen offers a plausible Trump-Russia theory
    Masha Gessen is a Russian-American journalist and the author of, among other books, The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin. Since the election, she has been analyzing Donald Trump through the lens of Russian politics and personalities in a series of viral essays in the New York Review of Books. But as the Trump campaign's relationship with Russia has evolved into a dominant storyline of his presidency, Gessen has grown skeptical. She thinks the left has been overwhelmed by conspiratorial thinking on Russia. That doesn't mean, she hastens to say, that there is no conspiracy. But there is also wishful thinking, and lazy thinking, and a hope that the normal mechanisms of politics can be bypassed."For more than six months now, Russia has served as a crutch for the American imagination," Gessen wrote. "It is used to explain how Trump could have happened to us, and it is also called upon to give us hope. When the Russian conspiracy behind Trump is finally fully exposed, our national nightmare will be over."In this podcast, Gessen and I talk about all things Trump and Russia. I ask her for both the plausible and sinister explanations for the many meetings and mysteries that surround Trump's associates. We talk about the ways Trump is and isn't like Putin, how studying autocracies has helped her interpret this moment in American politics, the psychology of Jared Kushner, and much more.
