candidate vivek ramaswami, and amazingly, show emotion. it is hard to overstate how baffling it is that this stuff was written down, let alone published by somebody ostensibly on his side. one republican strategist told nbc, quote, if i wanted to sabotage ron desantis, i would write this dumb debate strategy memo and put it online and tip off a reporter. which someone apparently did. joining me are dean obeidallah, and brian tyler cohen, progressive youtube creator and msnbc political contributor. thank you for being here. brian, i mangled your name because reading is fundamental so i m going to make you go first. i used to work in campaigns. i can tell you one thing, we would never do, is put forward the debate strategy so that we could so dean could follow along and make fun of this man throughout the whole debate,
rupert murdoch has a candidate, as dean describes, and it is the governor of virginia, the book banning, you know, racist-ish governor, no black books, no black history governor of virginia. your thoughts on them trying to find their own candidate, the murdochs? it was the same problem i was speaking about before. they have spent so long running cover for donald trump that the idea they re going to be able to pry the same viewers who they groomed to follow donald trump off the cliff, is just asinine. he runs that party, and it s by their own help. this idea that rupert murdoch thinks he s going to come and pry them away from the very people he pushed toward trump defies logic. yeah, all of it does. okay, dean and brian have graciously agreed to stick around. after the break, we need to talk about a certain republican governor s decision to ban a.p. african american studies in her state. claiming that it is teaching kids there to hate america. we ll be right back.
which dean is going to do. he s nodding. i want to get your take first. here s his four basic must-dos. tack joe biden and the media, state a positive vision two to three times. hammer vivek ramaswami, and defend donald trump against chris christie s attack. your thoughts. i m no high-profile political consultant but i m of the mind when you re competing with someone for anything, the goal is generally to try to beat them. donald trump is the only thing standing between ron desantis and winning the republican nomination as it stands right now. and so it really is telling that weakness and capitulation are kind of built into his campaign. and so i don t see how there s a path to victory when losing is the strategy, the purposeful strategy to get you there. you know, dean, number one, first of all, how many times are you going to make fun of ron desantis per hour when he does any of these things? because i anticipate it s going
the end of another week. which means it s time to play our favorite game. oh yes,. back with me are dean obeidallah and brian tyler cohen. dean, you are the veteran of this game. i m going to ask you to start by telling us, who won the week? you did. you ve got to interview morgan freeman. how cool was that? exactly. clearly. fulton county d a fani willis. she went fall on the trump crime family. she took care of all family business she got the money. trump, giuliani, meadows. and she s taking care of all of maga world as a strong powerful black women. it s driving them crazy. maga, how do you like that critical race theory? it s funny willis. she took a white folding
chair to justice. we appreciate that. brian, it is your turn my friend. who won the week? i m going to go with a little bit of a curveball here. i had a feeling dean would pick fani willis. ben shapiro issued this 45-minute call to arms against party about how hard the right can flex its muscles and destroy this monument to woke communist leftist culture. what happened next was that barbie became the highest grossing release ever from warner brothers. big thumbs up to ben shapiro and his boycott crusaders on the right, for showing all of us just how potent grievance culture can be. barbie is now the first billion dollar film helmed by a woman director. barbie always wins, y all. stop fighting her. she s going to win every single time. with all of her black barbie friends. yes, that is actually correct. but i too am joining dean, in saying that the heroic officers of the court one at the week. not just the great fani willis, but jack smith, and judge tanya
