In this episode, Joy Reid is joined by «I’ve Had It» podcast co-host Jennifer Welch to dissect the MAGA civil war ignited by the fight to release the Epstein files. They break down Marjorie Taylor Green’s stunning turn against Donald Trump, analyzing her political rebrand and ambition to be the next MAGA standard-bearer. The conversation explores the deep-seated misogyny in Trump’s movement, why his base remains loyal, and the critical failures of the Democratic Party in red states. Welch offers a sharp, unfiltered take on the GOP’s weaponization of faith, the looming threat of figures like Nikki Haley, and the urgent need for a stronger opposition voice. It’s a masterclass on the current political chaos, delivered with Welch’s signature insight and candor.
