About this listen

Don't miss my discussion with Mike Pesca of The Gist about

-- How the conservative blogosphere actually kept populism bottled up

-- Why Tucker Carlson secretly became the most powerful man at Fox using Daily Caller analytics no one else had

-- How iPhones + social media rewarded “Cat Turd” over Jonah Goldberg and made ideological gatekeepers irrelevant

-- Why both parties now reach for the chainsaw instead of the scalpel (DOGE, DEI purges, Gaza, immigration)

-- Whether Democrats can win just by waiting for Trump to implode — or if they need a genuine rock-star celebrity candidate in 2028

-- Marco Rubio’s quiet double-agent role in Trump 2.0, the Gretchen Whitmer “kidnapping” plot truth, and why Josh Shapiro might actually have “it”

-- And MUCH more!

If you care about how technology actually changed politics more than any philosopher or activist ever did — this is the deepest, funniest, most honest conversation you’ll hear this year.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/
