Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway joined Ben Domenech in the studio to discuss Donald Trump’s sweep in the Northeastern States’ primaries, the recent death of Prince and make to make of the loss, and her reports from the most recent congressional hearing on the trafficking of aborted baby parts. 

“If he had never sung a song, he would still be one of the world’s best guitar players,” Hemingway said of Prince. “That’s how talented he was.” 

Hemingway said since Prince’s death, many journalists have attempted to characterize him as gender bending and queer. “For one thing he was a man who dressed in a feminine way frequently,” she said. “But this was a guy who did more for female self-esteem than anybody by recognizing and praising female sexuality.”
Last week, the House Select Panel on Infant Lives heard testimonies from witnesses about evidence of a widespread market for for unborn baby parts. Hemingway recapped the hearing and what the witnesses had to say. 

“The first thing they showed is that federal prohibits profiting from the sale or transfer of fetal parts,” she said. “Then they showed that abortion clinics don’t actually do any work to get these aborted baby parts. Other people come into a clinic and they do everything.”

Frank Buckley, author of The Way Back: Restoring the Promise of America, joined the Federalist Radio Hour to discuss a theory of pursuing socialist ends through capitalist means and the issue of economic upward mobility across our country.

Buckley reflected on the results of the 2012 election and the way American social classes have evolved since. "We have grown a new class of aristocrats above the commanding heights of our economy a small group of people, not the one percent, so much as the two or three percent composed of academics...lawyers..trust fund babies..."

The problems effecting the white working class are of a different nature than some of the problems effecting the working class more generally, Domenech said. "When it comes to the success of Donald Trump, it seems to me it is no accident that out of the states that have voted thus far, that are in the top 20 of recipients of federal disability aid, that Donald Trump won all but three of them," Domenech said.

Buckley said the country is ready for a Machiavellian moment. "We are to understand American politics today not in terms of a Right and Left continuum, but rather a virtue-corruption continuum," Buckley said. "And that explains both the rise of Bernie Sanders and to some extent Donald Trump."

Michael Tracey is an independent writer and political reporter who joins today's Federalist Radio to discuss "fake news," the unhinged media reactions to Trump, and experimenting in digital media platforms.

Donald Trump's tweets have been consistently treated as breaking news every day sin he was elected. "A lot of these people in the media are so blinkered by rage and confusion... and they don't have a standard for how to situate themselves in relation to Trump," Tracey said. "Which is crazy because they should by now."

As a crowd-funded journalist himself, Tracey discusses the relationships audiences have with news sources and what they are willing to pay for. "I think one reason why this media class is so disposed to groupthink is that they rely on revenue from similar sources...clicks, non-profit support, or philanthropists' money."
