BLACKMAIL! MTG Tried to Force Speaker to Defund Jack Smith! (w/ Will Saletan) | Bulwark Podcast

Today's GOP is not a governing party—it's a grievance and trolling party, and Trump has the nihilist vote all locked up. Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham and others are pushing a Hiroshima model in response to Gaza. And because we all still need to laugh, the pod now has a new segment, "The Right Stuff." Will Saletan joins Tim Miller today.
