John -
Earlier today, I had one of the original architects of the MAGA movement, Steve Bannon, on my podcast.
We covered a lot of ground -- from Elon Musk, Trump's tariffs, tax cuts for the rich, and much more.
My next guest is Tim Walz, and I hope you'll tune in to that.
Give the Bannon episode a listen here.
A lot of people have been asking me why I’m inviting right-wingers like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon on a podcast.
First, I think it's critically important for us to understand how the MAGA-right organized itself during the last election and what they are thinking about in the weeks, months and years ahead.
I also don't think there's anywhere else someone like Steve Bannon -- a self-proclaimed populist -- is going to be asked to defend the harmful impact of Trump's tariffs. Bannon also talks a lot about the influence of oligarchs, yet Trump's cabinet is filled from top-to-bottom with them. Do Trump supporters know that? Would Bannon defend that?
And finally, I think we all agreed after the last election that it’s important for Democrats to explore new and unique ways of talking to people. And by all accounts, these conversations are reaching lots of people.
Give the podcast a listen here.
Thank you,
Gavin
P.S. I'll be in touch soon to get your feedback on the podcast. And as a reminder, I'll be talking to Governor Tim Walz this weekend.
