This week Ann interviews New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters on his new book, Insurgency: How the Republicans Lost their Party and Got Everything They Ever Wanted.

Specifically, we zero in on the Fox News Channel - Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit and the discovery process that showed that what FNC stars were saying on-air hardly matched what they were saying to each other in private.

• Smart liberal pollster, David Shor: "People yell at me on Twitter about this. So working-class white people have an enormous amount of political power and they’re trending towards the Republican Party. In 2016, we didn’t lose because our get-out-the-vote lists were not sorted well enough. And it wasn’t that we had the wrong kind of digital targeting. We lost because, big picture, we ran a campaign that increased the salience of immigration at a time when marginal voters in swing states in the Midwest disagreed with us on immigration. That’s why we lost."
• My interview with Gov. Ron DeSantis before the first debate.The 6-week abortion ban may be unpopular, but DeSantis is right: That’s not why the GOP lost so many seats in 2022. It was Trump.

Lots of good ideas! I hope no Democrats listen to this.
