Goodbye Sweet Karoline, Hello Woke Hangovers

-Rob bids a “Sweet Caroline” farewell to Karoline Leavitt, praising her tenure as White House press secretary and sizing up possible replacements—including Stephen Miller, Matt Boyle, Lydia Moynihan and his personal “kaboom” candidate, Alina Habba.  -AOC calls the excesses of the progressive era “Woke 1.0,” but Rob isn’t accepting the software update. He argues Democrats are trying to distance themselves from defund-the-police politics and the upheaval surrounding 2020, while Stephen Miller delivers a blistering rebuttal later in the hour. -Guest Michael A. Charbon brings a Canadian grab bag of WNBA controversy, snoozing self-driving motorists, a Narcan-requiring raccoon and a 729-pound shark cruising toward the St. Lawrence. He and Rob debate Caitlin Clark and the WNBA’s politics, discuss the promise and pitfalls of autonomous cars, then somehow arrive at drugged wildlife and a real-life Jaws scenario—which is quite a journey even by hotline standards.
