Earlier this week, What A Day talked about Tucker Carlson's "apology" for supporting President Donald Trump. Carlson's unexpected confession stemmed from a conversation on his podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show. But it sounds like the reason Carlson is disappointed in Trump is simply that Trump didn't do what he wanted. And there's a lot of Trump "regret" right now – from Alex Jones to former Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. But which part of Trump do they regret? And what if what they really want is Trump – but worse? To dive deeper into this topic, we spoke with Tim Miller. He's a writer-at-large for The Bulwark and host of The Bulwark Podcast. He recently wrote that Democrats should open the tent to people who once supported Trump, but regret it now. And in headlines, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin gets really loud on Fox News, Navy Secretary John Phelan is out, and the Iran war is somehow raising the prices of condoms.

  • It's Friday, April 24th.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show who wants you to know that President Donald Trump

  • did not just have the Department of Justice reclassify recreational marijuana.

  • The story is more complicated than that.

  • So whatever you were thinking about doing, just don't.

  • On today's show, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen screams on Fox News.

  • And it's time to wrap up the Iran war now that condom prices are about to skyrocket.

  • But let's start with Tucker Carlson and MAGA apologies.

  • Earlier this week, we mentioned that Carlson said sorry for supporting Trump.

  • Carlson's unexpected confession came out of a conversation with his brother on his podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show.

  • During the episode, Buckley Carlson, a former Trump speechwriter,

  • explained how his view of Trump changed when Trump started disrespecting his supporters.

  • Here he is speaking from Trump's perspective.

  • If you're insisting upon transparency and the things, you're insisting upon me.

  • Making good on the promises that I made to you in this, you know, relationship that we have.

  • I promise you something.

  • You vote me into office so I can effectuate the change that you voted for.

  • Then if you're insisting upon that, then you're a flipping kook and I don't need you.

  • It's true.

  • Trump has broken a lot of his promises to his supporters and then he has insulted them for being upset.
