AOC is MAGA's worst nightmare, the White House is preparing to get investigated

I get so many headaches every month.

SPEAKER_2 (0:02)

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eten syndrome and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Welcome to the Bonus Show, everybody. It's me. I'm still in Martha's Vineyard. Just a few more hours, but then I will be back in studio very strongly, very powerfully. We will be having a normal week of shows next week other than the Monday holiday. But I'll spend that day doing book related interviews and maybe even a live stream. So we've got a lot of stuff going on. I was reading a few articles this morning and there was a very, very sort of a funny article in iNews dot co dot uk about how MAGA's worst nightmare would be a president of AOC in the sense that it would be a childless female president. And it really got me to thinking a lot about not just what are going to be the sort of conflicts within the Democratic Party for the 2028 primary, but also what are going to be the lines of attack from Republicans and from the right against various potential contenders for the Democratic primary. I had a really interesting conversation yesterday actually, with a big, sort of like a Democrat, I guess you would say like a Democratic donor type person who knows a lot of the potential candidates. And one of the things that he was talking to me about was that when you think about, I often look at these races as, listen, if you're polling 3 percent, why bother? What's the point of even getting in and running? But one of the things he was explaining to me was that the map really matters. And for the Democratic primary, with South Carolina and Nevada going first, because they have sort of changed around the order of the primaries, South Carolina is going to play a massive role. So, for example, we think of, and I'm going to work back to AOC.

One of the things we've been looking at and talking about is that Kamala Harris is still polling, not betting markets, but polling. Kamala Harris is still polling quite high. Now a lot of people say it's basically name recognition at this point, but let's put that aside for a second. What this donor explained to me was that with South Carolina going so early, if there are non-White candidates in the race, right? So if Kamala Harris runs AOC, who is Hispanic, now I don't remember whether one or both, it doesn't even really matter, right? These designations are whatever, but I think we sort of understand socioculturally who is seen as a non-White, a minority candidate. What if Raphael Warnock were to run?
