Alex Jones is gone. &#8211; Candace Owens is gone. &#8211; When you\u2019ve lost Candace Owens \u2014\u2014 Tucker Carlson is wondering if Donald Trump is the Antichrist, which is maybe a conversation for another episode of this podcast \u2014\u2014 A whole episode on the religious overtones. And so I don\u2019t want to underestimate how much power Donald Trump still has. He has the military. But I think that the loss of a lot of his most powerful propagandists would just make it much, much harder.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/18opinions-roundtable-clip1-image-jumbo.jpg\" data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_13tnt_20\"\/>The columnist Michelle Goldberg normally doesn\u2019t see much hope in the Trump era, but on \u201cThe Opinions,\u201d she says the cracks in MAGA\u2019s media machine are real \u2014 and explains what they could mean for Trump\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>April 20, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"new video loaded: Trump Is Losing His Cheerleaders transcript Back transcript Trump Is Losing His CheerleadersThe columnist Michelle&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":204154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[76670,56250,153,9,11,10,23288,22202],"class_list":{"0":"post-204153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-alex-jones","9":"tag-candace-owens","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-headlines","13":"tag-new-york-news","14":"tag-right-wing-extremism-and-alt-right","15":"tag-tucker-carlson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
