DeepSummary
The episode begins with discussion of conspiracy theories and fear-mongering from right-wing figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend Brian Glenn and Rudy Giuliani, who connect recent events like the eclipse, earthquakes, and cicada broods to apocalyptic and religious narratives, blaming the left. Pakman then moves on to highlight a new poll from Pennsylvania showing Joe Biden leading Donald Trump by 10 points in a head-to-head matchup.
He also covers Fox News hosts like Maria Bartiromo being 'devastated' by the latest strong jobs report, which they try to downplay or discredit by claiming many of the jobs went to immigrants. Pakman examines whether the claim of Jesus's tomb being found empty by women after his crucifixion is based on historical facts outside of biblical sources.
The episode includes a 'then and now' comparison of Donald Trump's speaking abilities and coherence over the years, showing a significant decline. It also discusses Trump's confused messaging on abortion, where he seems to say states can decide their own laws as long as people vote for him. The episode ends with a look at Melania Trump's miserable appearance at a Trump fundraiser.
