Impeachment and the 2020 election are our subjects for the 162nd episode. Our guest is GOP consultant and corporate strategist Evan Siegfried.

Then we turn our attention to analyzing the Democratic presidential primary and look ahead to the general election.
Republican strategist and commentator Evan Siegfried gets salty with co-hosts Julie Roginsky and Emily DeCiccio. The "GOP-GPS" author discusses why he no longer considers himself a 'Never Trumper' and what he thinks both political parties need to do to attract (and maintain) younger voters. Siegfried also reveals a bizarre run-in with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an Upper West Side bathroom. Join the politically savvy trio for a great conversation and don't forget to bring your saltshaker!

Rick speaks with former Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg, who says Donald Trump is "completely disloyal to people" and Jared Kushner is an "obnoxious brat." Plus, Republican strategist Evan Siegfried discusses whether the president will take away the security clearances of his political enemies.
The cover story for this month’s issue of “The Nation” magazine, “Election 2018 Is Off To The Racists”, chronicles the growing number of openly racist and white supremacist candidates in Republican elections since President Trump won the presidency in November 2016. How did the party of Lincoln get to this point? Evan Siegfried, a Republican political strategist and president of Somm Consulting, shares his thoughts on why the party is experiencing this uptick in non-traditional and extremist candidates. T.S. Ellis III, the federal judge in the Paul Manafort case, warned special counsel Robert Mueller last Friday that he may be overstepping his mandate as special counsel and accused Mueller of trying to bring down President Trump. Georgia State law professor Eric Segall talks to Rick Ungar and guest co-host Rick Tyler about the judge’s comments and the real concern in the legal community over the powers of a special counsel.
Senator Jeff Flake called for a Republican to launch a primary challenge to President Donald Trump in the GOP primary in 2020. Is there anyone in the GOP that could give the president a run for his money? Evan Siegfried, a political strategist and author of “GOP GPS: How to Find the Millennial and Urban Voters the Republican Party Needs to Survive”, doesn't think so. He says no one in the GOP could beat Donald Trump in a primary right now. However, Siegfried does think there are candidates in the GOP that could do some damage to the president’s campaign and others who are planning for a future presidential run. Michael and Rick also discuss recent reports suggesting that President Trump wants to use his instincts more and rely on his staff less.
Writer and comedian Benari Poulten (The Nightly Show) and bona fide Republican Evan Siegfried (Fox News) join Negin to chat about Hope Hicks’ resignation and the plethora of recent Jared Kushner scandals. They also recap Trump’s televised meeting with lawmakers about gun policy and his surprising comments on due process. Lastly, most mass shooters are men. Why is this? The panel goes deep on masculinity and how we are raising our men. This episode is sponsored by The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: Ears Edition, HelloFresh (code: FAKE30), and Color of Change.
This week Chris joins the rest of the political landscape and seeks to bring us together. We can debate, sometimes furiously, and we can still respect each other. We are all Americans. The tragic shooting at the Republican congressional baseball practice brings divisive hate speech to a halt, for most of us. Chris explains the difference between political debate, TV punditry, and hate speech. Chris' guest is Evan Siegfried, a GOP pundit (and friend) you have seen on FOX News, CNN, Fox Business, MSNBC and author of GOP GPS. Evan is a contributor at The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Follow Evan on Twitter @evansiegfried.
Evan Siegfried author of GOP GPS How to Find the Millennials and Urban Voters the Republican Party Needs to Survive
Joining us this week is Evan Siegfried author of the book GOP GPS: How to Find the Millennials and Urban Voters the Republican Party Needs to Survive For our terrible opinions: Evan feels like the Ryan Lochte scandal was a godsend for Brazil since he was able to overshadow every disastrous thing that happened at the Rio Olympics. Zach thinks Fox and Drudge are worse than the Washington Post and the New York Times when it comes to bias. Jordan expresses her frustration at the media glee over the naked Donald Trump statues across the country. The majority of the podcast is spent talking with Evan about his book and about the GOP's crisis in terms of Millennials and minorities. We also talk about the GOP and technology, where the right has fallen behind and how they can catch up. For predictions, Evan predicts there is a lot more negative stuff about Trump that will come out in the coming weeks (probably related to Russia). Matthias thinks Trump will bounce up in the next few weeks but will then dive back down. Jordan thinks Rubio will win in Florida.
This week, Evan Seigfried joins Matthias, Zach, and Jordan as we joyfully lament the state of the world today. Terrible Opinions Zach - I'm getting tired of these articles on pay inequality that refuse to consider any other factors as a plausible explanation. Matthias - As the father of two young girls, I'm actually OK with the neo-Puritanism of left that rails against any of display of sexuality at conferences. Evan - The New York Times piece on Millenials is terrible, passive aggressive, and Millenial-splaining and I'm just really tired of people complaining about Millenials. Jordan - I'm tired of this "blame the establishment" idea when there are plenty of good, smart conservatives in government#AlwaysTrump We debate all things Trump, including his intent, his persona, his ability to create policy, and his lack of understanding about… everything.Virtual Reality Is a Disaster Matthias posits that virtual reality is a hilarious disaster. People need to have normal people experiences., not virtual ones. Zach recounts his childhood experience with video games that nearly ruined his academic career. Evan likes the experiential possibilities. Jordan wants more people to get in fights over Google Glass.Hulk Hogan Owns Gawker and Runs for President We talk about the Gawker vs. Hulk Hogan result in which Hulk Hogan now owns Gawker. We speak briefly about the 1st amendment consequences, but mostly make jokes about how awful Gawker is.Predictions Evan - Hilary Clinton challenges Donald Trump to a Thunderdome match & Trump runs away. Matthias - I predict the future will create corporate sabotage in the form of paying people to create controversy, planting offense in the expectations that it will cause PR harm. Zach - My wife and I need to run 70 miles and pray 60 rosaries to meet our Lent obligation. He predicts this will happen. Jordan - Hillary beats the indictment & beats Trump in the general.
