On this President's Day edition of the Daily Daily Caller Podcast, we get into what is shaping up to be the latest "hate crime hoax" liberals had been blaming on President Trump before the wheels fell off, the Andy McCabe memory-lapse, and Democrats starting to worry that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be leading them to electoral disaster.

Listen to the show:

Actor Jussie Smollett was the victim of a horrible hate crime, but it's looking more and more like that crime might have been a desperate cry for favorable media attention.

Reports out of the Chicago police department indicate two brothers from Nigeria (who were also extras on Smollett's show, "Empire") may have been paid by Smollett to perpetrate the "attack" in sub-zero temperatures the actor tried to pin on the president and his supporters.

Nothing adds up, and the story has changed. Now, police are looking into the prospect that all of it was a publicity stunt. Democrats are finding themselves having to back away from a story they immediately embraced because they could blame it on the president; now, they may have to blame it on the victim-fetish they've helped create on the Left.

Fired deputy director of the FBI Andy McCabe appeared on "60 Minutes" yesterday, and the biggest story we were sold about the interview — the attempted push by unelected bureaucrats to remove the president from office through the 25th Amendment — turned out to be a nothingburger.

McCabe downplayed what CBS had hyped, to the point that he said he couldn't even remember how the subject came up.

Former Vice-President Joe Biden is embarrassed by the country for things that happened under the Obama administration; he and the media pretend they had nothing to do with any of it. And the "Morning Joe" crew is worried Democrats might be following Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to defeat. Might the shine be coming off this media-created darling?

Dr. Carson loves his job and isn't going anywhere

On the Friday edition of The Daily Daily Caller podcast, we get into everything from the crazy last 24 hours. Some Democrats celebrated preventing border security, including one possible 2020 candidate calling for the removal of existing walls from the border. CBS News hosts casually discuss an attempted coup against President Donald Trump like it's no big deal, like they wish it had succeeded, and liberals celebrate the killing of 25,000 good paying jobs in New York because they're economic illiterates. Plus, we have an exclusive sit-down interview with Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson in our Friday video show (audio of which is included in the podcast).

Democrats celebrate denying money to build a border wall while the president weighs the idea of declaring a national emergency to make it happen. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and some conservatives warn against the precedent it will set for a future president who might declare one for something liberals want. Does anyone really believe a Democratic President would not declare a national emergency simply because a Republican hadn't done it already? Former President Barack Obama used his magic pen to create the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program even though nothing like that had been done before; Harry Reid nuked the filibuster for judicial nominees to pack the court with liberals, which had never been done before. The idea that a Democrat wouldn't use emergency powers because there's no precedent for it is undercut by the precedent of them doing just that.

Texas's Beto O'Rourke wants open borders for real. The 2020 Democratic prospect announced his support for removing all existing walls Thursday. Why? Because they work. No, seriously. We have the audio. You need to hear to believe.

News hosts on CBS had a casual conversation about a literal attempted coup against the president of the United States. The story of former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe assembling high-ranking members of the intelligence and law enforcement communities to discuss attempting to influence the president's cabinet by invoking the 25th Amendment is crazy. But that craziness doesn't seem to bother any of these "journalists." We play the audio and address it all.

Amazon will no longer be locating one of its new headquarters in New York after some politicians attacked the deal, stirred up local activists, and promised to make trouble in the future. The loss of billions of dollars of economic activity and more than 25,000 jobs was actually celebrated by leftists. The economic illiteracy is strongest in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who seemed to think the tax breaks offered to Amazon were actual government money now available to spend elsewhere. We have the audio and mock it accordingly.

Leftists do not like you

On the show today, we expose the hatred and hypocrisy of the Left as it boiled over all over Capitol Hill yesterday.

Congress is preparing to vote on a 1,159-page funding bill today that was finalized and introduced in the House last night at 11:51 p.m. to fund the government. Will anyone read it? Could they?

AOC found a place to live, Ilhan Omar hates herself some Jews, another Democrat mocks the good economy, and Georgetown is considering paying reparations to decedents of slaves the school sold in 1838.

The bill to fund the government has been introduced in Congress, 1,159 pages with a 609-page summary. No one will read it by the time of the vote, breaking the promise of Nancy Pelosi, which was also a promise Republicans made and didn't keep when they took the House. What could go wrong?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went from complaining about income inequality to living in one of the most exclusive buildings in D.C. It's only a 15-minute walk to work, but the author of the Green New Deal that seeks to climate cars to save the planet is driven to work every day. Rules are for other people.

Ilhan Omar spent the day after apologizing for being an anti-Semite fundraising off of refusing to stop being an anti-Semite and attacking a Jewish diplomat as a war criminal for actions he wasn't involved in. Yes, seriously.

Another Democrat mocked the economy doing well; actress Brie Larson doesn't want too many white men reviewing her Captain Marvel movie because, well, she's an angry liberal; and Georgetown's student body is going to vote on whether or not to impose a fee on students to pay reparations to the decedents of slaves the school sold 180 years ago. The world has gone insane.
