CATHY YOUNG: A Moment of Horror, and a New Hero for Ukrainians.
Tucker has been dining out on how much the media supposedly despises Donald Trump — when by his own admission, he hates Trump with a passion. And his take on Jan 6 is inherently contradictory: It was Nancy’s fault, but also not much happened that day. Matt Gertz joins Charlie Sykes today.

ANN MARLOWE: The Sites of War.
🚨OVERTIME 🚨Happy International Women’s Day… I’ve always thought the “international” part is unnecessary, but I’m celebrating the women in my life with a pizza party and a nice dinner for us adults. All Star TNB! Tomorrow night, save the date at 8 (Eastern)! JVL, Bill and Cathy will be joined by special guest Eric Edelman for the March 9 edition of Thursday Night Bulwark. The panel will discuss the latest in the war in Ukraine starting at 8:00 p.m. ET. “The most interesting think tank in American politics…” A great profile of our friends at the Niskanen Center. Jack Shafer nails Tucker… There’s so much Tucker coverage out there it makes one want to get sick, but them’s the breaks: sadly, he’s the news. At Politico, the great Jack Shafer really nails Tucker and what he’s become: what he hated. Bill O’Reilly 2.0. A phony. Life imitates Silicon Valley… As ChatGPT comes to work intra-office communications systems. Child labor? Really? For the party that overhypes child trafficking and scaremongers about supposed “groomers”, a handout like this to those who actually exploit children, should come as no surprise. Children should be able to work, given sensible parameters and if they want to, but this is a bit much. Especially with the growing abuse of migrant minors. Matt Schlapp’s accuser comes forward… After a sleepy CPAC, the worst kept secret in Washington reveals his identity. McCarthy tells Zelenskyy: Nyet. No, Kevin McCarthy won’t visit Ukraine to see the horrors for himself. Hey, at least his see no evil, hear no evil spinelessness is consistent! Kyle Rittenhouse… The right wing social media darling that failed to launch. Ruben Gallego blazes his own trail… Will his YOLO campaign style work in his quest to unseat Kyrsten Sinema, or will it backfire? Rennervations… A heartwarming new show coming to Disney+ to remind yourself that not all is wrong with the world. That’s it for me. Tech support questions? Email members@thebulwark.com.
