083: How MAGA Laid the Blueprint for Attacking Elections in 2018 [Preview]

About this episode

In this episode, Jared and Mike rewind to Florida’s razor-thin 2018 midterms to break down a often-overlooked test run of “Stop the Steal,” years before it became synonymous with the 2021 riot at the United States Capitol.

As recounts unfolded in the high-stakes Senate and governor’s races, longtime GOP operative Roger Stone and a network of MAGA activists mobilized protests in Broward County, amplifying fraud claims and pressuring officials while influencers pushed the hashtag into the mainstream. 

Could we see a replay of this playbook in 2026? Will it be worse? Our hosts also dug into the State of the Union — its racism and subtle backpedaling — and, of course, they had to talk about their favorite jet-setting FBI director: Kash Patel. 

We’ll see you in Valhalla, folks — just as soon as the pilot gets the plane ready.
