But wait—there’s more. Heer explains some of the trucker’s demands, including a plan to dissolve the government and then arrest Trudeau.
@MollyJongFast, naturally, is flabbergasted. “I thought this was pretty stupid, but I had no idea.” bit.ly/3BBmW09
Then! Molly and co-host @andylevy run down the “terrifying” political candidates whom billionaire Peter Thiel is backing, including “another super libertarian, very attractive, zero body fat white guy in Arizona.” bit.ly/3BBmW09
Plus, @imaniperry, author of South to America, makes the case that the South should be a source of inspiration. She also tries to explain what drives white supremacy there. bit.ly/3BBmW09

EXCLUSIVE: It is critical evidence in Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s case against Prince Andrew. But the whereabouts of the original photo showing him, her, and Ghislaine Maxwell is a mystery.
The picture, which famously shows Giuffre as a smiling 17-year-old, with Prince Andrew’s arm slung around her bare midriff, went missing from her care at some point between 2011 and 2016. thedailybeast.com/epstein-victim…
The picture has been examined as potential evidence against Jeffrey Epstein by the FBI.
And now, according to reports, Prince Andrew’s legal team have asked for access to the original picture, so its authenticity can be evaluated by experts. thedailybeast.com/epstein-victim…
Also on the episode, @jwpetersNYT tells @MollyJongFast about the time he interviewed Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago a few weeks after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Brian Flores, one of the few Black head coaches in the NFL's history, was in the middle of interviewing with the NY Giants last week when he learned the team was leading him on.
According to the lawsuit by Flores, the Giants would likely have gotten away with "this most insidious form of discrimination" if Bill Belichick hadn't mistakenly told Flores (via text) he was getting passed over for a white man. thedailybeast.com/fired-dolphins…
The lawsuit contains screengrabs of text messages between Brian Flores and Bill Belichick, who apparently thought he’d texted Brian Daboll – the white coach that got the Giants’ top job. thedailybeast.com/fired-dolphins…
After two big fundraising quarters to kick off 2021, Rep. Matt Gaetz's campaign committee ended the year losing nearly $100,000. thedailybeast.com/how-matt-gaetz…
The Gaetz campaign hemorrhaged well over a million dollars in costs last year that appear to be associated with the investigation and related fallout—more than one out of every five dollars raised in the same period. thedailybeast.com/how-matt-gaetz…
As for Gaetz’s legal troubles, more than $100,000 of his campaign disbursements on the year went to lawyers. In fact, Friends of Matt Gaetz paid more than its previous four-year total to one lawyer alone this year—$75,000 to Marc Fernich. thedailybeast.com/how-matt-gaetz…
Rogan’s apology did earn praise from Andy, though: “Rogan is, and this separates him from Dave Portnoy the Barstool Guy, an honest guy. I don't think he’s playing a role,” he says. However! Not preparing for interviews or fact-checking? It baffles them. bit.ly/34sxIcf
Speaking of fact-checking, @Sulliview, media columnist at The Washington Post came on to discuss major media lawsuits like Palin’s against the NY Times and Dominion Voting v Fox News bit.ly/34sxIcf
