Newsom's Embarrassing Primary Plot Revealed As Democrats Scramble to Position for 2028
Summary
The hosts mock Gavin Newsom’s fly fishing interview with Jake Tapper, ridiculing his claim he wouldn’t run against Kamala Harris and his lack of fishing skill. They also criticize AOC for defending anti-Semitic artist Macklemore and canceling Ed Sheeran, while dissecting Kamala Harris’s book comments on why she didn’t pick Pete Buttigieg. The episode concludes with praise for Brendan Gill’s handling of a journalist and analysis of Sydney Sweeney’s viral ad, which the hosts argue highlights the absurdity of modern sports journalism.
