Movie Night at Mar-a-Lago, Congrats to Judge Jackson & MTG is SCARY!

In this episode, Alex starts with worries about the French elections on Sunday and how Emmanuel Macron could lose. His chance of winning has been decreasing almost every day and Alex worries that if Marine Le Pen were to win, it could destabilize the EU. He then goes into how illiberal democracies are becoming more prominent. Then Alex gives some updates from a few days at Mar-a-Lago. The former President held an event where he premiered a movie about how Mark Zuckerberg stole the election for the Democrats. Trump also did an interview with The Washington Post where he discussed how his biggest regret on January 6th was “not marching to the capitol with his supporters.” He also said that “he deserved more credit for drawing such a large crowd to the Ellipse.” Alex discusses how it almost seems like Trump wants to get prosecuted. Later, Alex plays a video where Marjorie Taylor Greene compares all Democrats to pedophiles. He worries this rhetoric is dangerous and will lead to more violence and hate towards minority communities. He also discusses how these extreme views are moving closer to the mean inside of the party. To end, Alex discusses how happy he is that Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the SCOTUS. He is disturbed by the Republican attacks on her but is glad she can represent a lot of Americans on the court.
