On a short, solo episode, Matt analyzes Rep. Nancy Mace's controversial interview with George Stephanopoulos and then discusses Joe Biden's new TV ad.

Are Nikki Haley's voters up for grabs? The Bulwark's Will Saletan joins Matt to discuss Nikki Haleys not-so-super Tuesday, and whether her GOP primary voters will stay home and sink Donald Trump's chances in November.

Matt welcomes Tom Schaller and Paul Wildman, the co-authors behind the controversial new book, White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy. They discuss the backlash the book has spawned, and delve into some deeper questions that rarely get asked.

Did you know that just 8% of Americans elect 83% of the U.S. House of Representatives? That means that some of the most extreme politicians in America—people with huge megaphones—were elected by just a small sliver of the electorate. The problem is that our primary system today is rigged to give us extreme politicians. On today's podcast, Nick Troiano talks about how this problem can be addressed. His new book is called The Primary Solution: Rescuing Our Democracy From The Fringes

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is stepping down from his leadership post, and political strategist and commentator Rina Shah joins Matt to discuss McConnell's legacy.

Lauren Boebert's family needs to clean up their act.

AEI's Guy Denton talks with Matt about Jack Posobiec saying, "Welcome to the end of democracy" during a CPAC panel discussion. Next, conversation turns to a New Orleans magician who used AI to impersonate Joe Biden for a political robocall. And lastly, Guy and Matt discuss the recent moon landing, and whether it's a positive sign that America still has the capacity to do great, ambitious things.

Will Saletan of The Bulwark joins Matt to discuss Trump's new $399 sneakers, and what they say about American politics. He also talks about the veepstakes, why Tim Scott thinks Republicans (not African-Americans) suffer from systemic discrimination, and whether Nikki Haley will endorse Trump when her quixotic campaign comes to an end. Enjoy!
