The most important Senate battleground this year might be the state of Georgia, and Republicans are rallying around football icon Herschel Walker as their candidate. But in many ways, Walker's the worst candidate the GOP could run — and @mehdirhasan explains why.

As the Biden admin is set to end — finally — the controversial pandemic refugee policy Title 42, there are a litany of conservative Dems coming out to support the policy. Because of course they are.
@repmarkpocan joins @mehdirhasan to discuss — 8 p.m. ET on @peacockTV.

So folks have been comparing the weird @GMB morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp.
So we at the @MehdiHasanShow put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art!

The movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ eerily mirrored reality this week when a climate activist appeared on the UK morning show ‘Good Morning Britain.’
So we put real life and the movie side by side for all to see. 👀

How do you put Donald J. Trump in historical context? How much does the GOP itself have to 'own' Trump?
A fascinating conversation on the @MehdiHasanShow with presidential historian @julianzelizer who has edited a new book on all this - watch:

Trump pushed many celebs to get political. @JeriLRyan, who says she “did not register to vote until the 2016 election,” shares how her foray into the world of politics was influenced by the former president, too.

There’s been so, so much, there’s probably a lot you’ve *forgotten* about Donald Trump and his bumbling brand of racist authoritarianism and conspiracism over the past seven years. Let @mehdirhasan refresh your memory:

While ‘Never-Trumpers’ like Liz Cheney eventually took a stand against the now-former president, @mehdirhasan points out that it cannot erase her problematic past.
@julianzelizer agrees that the Wyoming congresswoman has "baggage that she can’t simply separate herself from."

Trump radicalized many people to embrace the far-right, but for many in Hollywood, his presidency did the opposite.
“I did not register to vote until the 2016 election,” @JeriLRyan tells @mehdirhasan.

In order to analyze Trump without normalizing him, @julianzelizer tells @mehdirhasan that we have to understand the precedent.
Since the 1980s, the GOP "has embraced very radical, partisan,“ he says. “A kind of no guardrails strategy of politics that set Donald Trump up."

With a new front, and a new phase, looming in Russia’s war in Ukraine, is there a chance that diplomacy can end the violence?

With talks to revive 2015’s Iran nuclear deal stalled — and potential future war in the Middle East at stake if it doesn’t go through — @mehdirhasan asks @JoelMartinRubin: What’s contributing to the holdup?

As prospects for an Iran nuclear deal remain unclear, @mehdirhasan wonders where to set expectations.
"Hope is starting to run out a little bit,” @tparsi says, "[But] if hope has truly been lost, then we would have seen the two sides declare that the talks have failed."

The war in Ukraine has upended the geopolitical playing field as we know it. A critical example: the talks to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
As war in Ukraine continues, @mehdirhasan asks: could we be on a path toward a future war in the Middle East?

"Today it is a juggernaut, driving right-wing politics the world over... this murderous conspiracy theory of the 'great replacement' is now mainstream within the Republican Party."

Is there a solution to the Fox News problem in this country?
“As long as there are political incentives that make it desirable to pursue these politics,” says @pastpunditry,” they are going to continue this way.”

.@mehdirhasan asks @TaraSetmayer about the divide between the GOP's true believers and those who are along for the ride.
"If the Ted Cruzes and the others who know better... had taken a stand and not been so politically craven, we wouldn't have the Marjorie Taylor Greenes."
