How the Left Is Losing the Culture, From Tragedy to Taylor Swift

The Left and the Right’s reactions to the events of this week provide a telling insight into why the Right has a hold on the culture, and the Left, decidedly, does not—from the tragic shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school to Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement.

On today’s episode of “Problematic Women,” we begin with the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota. We share what is currently known about the crime and how some Democrats have chosen to respond, including attempts to minimize “thoughts and prayers” and to politicize the tragedy.

We also highlight the data showing how President Donald Trump’s recent crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., has led to real results—fewer carjackings and robberies, and even nearly two weeks without a homicide.

Speaking of Trump, his marathon three-hour Cabinet meeting on Tuesday ran longer than “The Godfather.” We sat through the entire thing, so you don’t have to, and we break down the biggest takeaways, from Trump’s surprising stance on Chinese student visas to his pushback on Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s call for “nonviolent resistance” to potential National Guard presence in Chicago.

And of course, the biggest pop culture story of the week (and possibly the year) is that pop singer Swift and NFL tight end Travis Kelce are engaged. Travis’ father, Ed, shared a statement on the two’s “shared values, strong work ethic, and future family goals,” raising the question: Will Taylor and Travis’ new domestic era inspire a marriage and/or baby boom in America?

Gen Z activist Isabel Brown joins as our Problematic Woman of the Week, bringing thoughtful commentary on the issues that matter in politics and pop culture.
