Joe Scarborough: MAGA Doesn't Get America
7/21/20261 hr 17 min
Ronald Reagan said it best: One of the greatest sources of America's greatness are the people drawn to the country from every corner of the globe, who become American and keep the country young, vital, and modern. But Trump and Stephen Miller are sticking to their absolutist deportation plan without regard to history or its political cost. Meanwhile, we are learning in real time that our trillion-dollar weapons systems are (sometimes) no match for Iran's drones—and that the regime can't resist the opportunity to humiliate another U.S. president. Plus, Laura Ingraham spoke truth, Bibi has turned Americans against Israel, Testosterone Pete is making the Pentagon look weak, and the joy of MAGA tears over The Odyssey.
Joe Scarborough joins guest host Sam Stein.

[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Bulwark Podcast. I am Sam Stein filling in for Tim while he is on vacation. Now, there are two programming reminders before we jump in. So some of this week and next week's show may actually come out later than normal. We have guest hosts like myself, different schedules than Tim's. Please be patient with us. Really appreciate that. And then this will be dark both this Friday and next Friday. So Thursday's show will be your weekend pods. Uh, save them, uh, dribble them out through the weekend if you want, uh, if that's how you prefer to, you know, have your podcast. With that out of the way, I have got a great guest for you today. He is the co-host of Morning Joe every morning from 6:00 to 9:00 Eastern on MS Now. I still have trouble saying that. He's a former Republican member of Congress. I don't know if he's ever mentioned that before. Uh, he's a fellow [laughs] lover of the Boston Red Sox, somehow managing to win 14 in a row as of now. He is my good friend and all around mensch. It's Joe Scarborough. Joe, how you doing, man?
