Molly Jong Fast and Rick Wilson have a podcast , The New Abnormal.

Just listened to it and enjoyed it. Today's guest was Daily Beast reporter Will Bunch who specializes in the alt-right and GOP fringe groups. He visited a couple of the rallies and said the people showing up there weren't working class people who are trying to pay their rent and need to get back to work but upper middle class Trump supporters who want to get their nails done .






Welcome to The New Abnormal, The Daily Beast’s podcast for a world gone off the rails.

On The New Abnormal, we’ll be talking with reporters, scientists, elected officials, and people across the country trying to find their way in a time where uncertainty has replaced information, and where the truth gets too frequently run over by the politics involved.

We both love to connect, and talk. And talk. And talk. (Fine, we admit it.) We’re troublemakers who aren’t afraid to cross party and policy lines—just ask anyone in our respective political movements. Though we may come from very different worlds and very different perspectives, we’ve both come to believe that in the age of corona, the old partisan games don’t seem to mean as much.

We’ll be calling down some fire on the people who are making this situation worse, from that grifter in the White House to COVID truthers and deniers to scam artists and people exploiting this moment for political gain. (If you guessed that Rick named that segment of the show “Fuck That Guy,” you win a fabulous door prize!)

The New Abnormal is a podcast to expand those conversations, and to connect Americans with smart people who are both covering this pandemic and engaged in finding solutions to the dangers and challenges we face because of it. (Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.)
