062: MAGA's Fight for the Future of Right-Wing Media feat. Angelo Carusone

Angelo Carusone, a legendary observer of the conservative movement and the president of Media Matters for America, joins Mike and Jared to break down how Candace Owens has hijacked online discourse surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and managed to drag MAGA media into a chaos spiral as 2025 comes to a close. Together, they explore where fractures in the MAGA movement might lead and whether spats of infighting can actually give rise to more sinister political force.
