Blizzard prevents Justin from getting to Iowa and/or any campaign events happening... However we still have an interview!
Seth Masket discusses his research on the Republican Party and its decision-making process. He conducted a survey of county chairs across the US to understand their thoughts on the Republican presidential contest and the state of the party. Initial findings showed that county chairs were divided in their candidate preferences, with about 50% remaining undecided. However, Trump gained significant support after his indictments, consolidating his position as the frontrunner. Masket explores the reasons behind county chairs' support for Trump, including transactional support from evangelicals. He also draws parallels between evangelicals' support for Trump and black voters' support for Biden. Masket discusses the decline in support for Ron DeSantis and the rise of Nikki Haley as a non-Trump candidate. He also touches on the initial appeal and subsequent decline of other candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy. Masket plans to continue his research and provide updates on the candidates' popularity.

San Francisco has an undeniable problem with homelessness and drug use. That isn't controversial. However, a Twitter account dedicated to showing the problem in explicit fashion has found itself at the center of our national culture war. Conservatives love it because it shows a liberal city unable to run itself, liberals hate it because it gives ammo to conservatives.
At the center of it all is a man who desperately wants to help his neighborhood. But should he curb his pleas for help because they excite conservatives? Are both sides missing the point entirely?
Justin sits down with Adam Mesinck, otherwise known as @BetterSOMA, a man at the center of the micro and macro of American politics.

On this episode of Politics Politics Politics, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is positioning himself as a potential 2024 presidential candidate. On a recent multi-city tour, he touted his tough-on-crime stance and criticized liberal cities and prosecutors as being "woke" and out of touch. Speaking to police unions, DeSantis appealed to a constituency that strongly supported former President Trump. If DeSantis formally launches a campaign, he'll have to contend with Trump's large base of supporters. But the man himself is content to post on a website nobody reads and a post issues videos on a website no one watches. Why isn’t Trump on the trail?

Is the Biden administration so obsessed with political message discipline that it's getting in the way of doing their job?
Last week, a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio released potentially deadly chemicals into the air, resulting in a mass evacuation and a controlled burn of the toxins. The Biden administration has been sparse in their response, leading to suspicion and rumors of a media blackout.
On Sunday, a U.S. fighter jet shot down an unidentified object over Lake Huron on orders from President Joe Biden, the fourth such downing in eight days. This is part of a heightened alert following a Chinese spy balloon that emerged over U.S. airspace in late January. We still don't know what the most recent three actions were about, which is a problem since it might lead to World War 3.

Despite the belief that it is impossible to elect a Democrat statewide in Florida, history reveals that it can be done, as evidenced by President Barack Obama's success in the state in 2012.
However, in recent years, the Republican party has made significant gains in the state, with Governor Ron DeSantis winning by a 20-point margin in the 2020 election.
Despite this, Steve Schale, a Democratic strategist, believes that it is still possible to elect Democrats in Florida, as long as the Democratic party works to increase voter registration and build a presence in the state capital of Tallahassee.

On November 3rd, Biden's attorneys found documents at his think tank, then more at his home then MORE at his home again leading to a special council investigation. And yet, it is stupid and hard to get worked up about.
Biden's brand is competence compared to Trump, and this erodes that. His leak-resistent inner circle has led to a lack of messaging, making it difficult to control the narrative.
The White House wants focus to be on GOP chaos in the House, but the public can't know the stakes of the documents until they are revealed. Which wouldn't make sense. So, this is confusing and there's not much to be done about it.

Every time you go to the theater, you're experience an onslaught of movie tropes. Every romantic comedy has the down-on-her-luck best friend. Every action movie has the badass one-liners. Every Oscar-bait drama has that tear-jerker ending.
But where do those tropes come from? How do audiences become so aware of Hollywood's bag of tricks, parody movies can become a massive genre on their own?
This series explores the birth, death, and rebirth of one of the most successful cinematic genres ever: the rockstar biopic. In this episode, we start from the beginning, focusing on the earliest established tropes of the genre.
Lady Sings the Blues, The Buddy Holly Story, and 8 Mile.
