McKay Coppins on Paul Ryan, White House Media Coverage, and Tucker Carlson




The Federalist Radio Hour show

Summary: McKay Coppins, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Wilderness, joins Federalist Radio to discuss the healthcare fail by Paul Ryan. Coppins also shares about his interactions with Donald Trump and his profile of Fox News host Tucker Carlson. You can make just as much of a case against House leadership, he said. Sure, maybe [Paul Ryan] is a policy entrepreneur. He has popularized ideas within his party, but he is not a legislator. He doesnt have a lot of experience actually translating those ideas into law. Coppins discusses Tucker Carlsons eviscerating interviews, and makes the case that he is now one of the most powerful people in media. Not only does he have one of the highest rated shows on cable news, he also counts President Trump as a loyal viewer, he said.
