Molly Jong-Fast welcomes The Good Liars Jason Selvig back and they jump into a wide-ranging discussion about misinformation and political accountability, focusing first on swirling rumors about Mitch McConnell’s health and what transparency elected officials owe their constituents. They then pivot to claims that the Trump administration is withholding or manipulating information—particularly around casualties connected to Iran—drawing parallels to COVID-era tactics of managing perception by limiting data. Jason shares observations from regularly interviewing Trump supporters at rallies, noting signs of waning enthusiasm like smaller crowds, fewer flags, and growing frustration over rising costs and broken promises such as “no new wars,” while also describing how quickly new talking points (from Greenland to election denial) spread through the base and harden into deeply held beliefs.Subscribe to Fast Politics and listen 4x a week for interviews just like this on your favorite podcast app: https://episodes.fm/1645614328
