S2 Ep1039: Amanda Carpenter: MAGA's Bad Week

Actually, I think that might be the only thing she will focus on. So the reason why this position is so has outsized influence and has so much prominence when it comes to attorney generals is that. Naturally, because of the jurisdiction it is in, it has a lot of very complex national security cases, white collar crime, things that might have to do with government corruption.

I mean, these are big ticket items that you don't see in other places. The other comparable one might be New York. So what does she bring to the table here? She hasn't practiced law in, I think, 20 years because she's been commenting on the news, which I'm going to say I do disagree.

I do disagree with Damon a little bit on the idea that these Fox News hosts aren't useful in the way that I think Trump understands... Politics is media in this world, right? Like it is interchangeable. It is the job. You can't separate the two. And so sort of saying, well, they're just they're just Fox News hosts. How could they do this job?

Trump sees the job as that communicating to the public at all times because he is a propaganda president. So, you know, that's that's in one bucket. That's why she's there to do the messaging, which is why I think you could anticipate her doing a lot of things on the D.C. crime level because they want to crack down on crime. and be really seen as that law and order president.

And I think they have a lot of ambitions to use the District of Columbia as a test case for other things that they want to do on the policing front. And she, I think, is a contender to do that. But when it comes to the actual important things that someone in that role should be playing, when it comes to the national security cases, et cetera, et cetera, I don't think she's equipped at all.

Yeah. And definitely, you know, prosecuting terrorists and things like that, that actually, you know, are very quite serious. But one one note on that in terms of Trump looking for people who will do that kind of work for him. I really want to raise a flag on Linda McMahon. Have you been watching what she's been doing? She issued an insane letter to Harvard.

that sounded like some 22-year-old staffer wrote it after just imbibing on Pizzagate Jack for the last five years. I mean, it was really... I really urge people to go read that letter that essentially just accused them of harboring hate in every respect and how dare you let in... Where are these foreign students going from?
