About this episode

The biggest lesson of ActCon: It's better to confront challenges directly than to run away and hide from them. Ron DeSantis retreated to Iowa over the weekend, and is being punished for it, while Vivek Ramaswamy embraced the challenge, and is surging in the polls. Vivek joins Charlie to reflect on ActCon, and then continues his pattern of confronting challenges by responding to criticisms over his past interactions with the World Economic Forum. Plus, Rich Baris breaks down the dire financial position of the DeSantis campaign operation.
