#35 Will We Lose the Republic Because Democrats Couldn’t Bother Watching Fox News with Gabe Garbowit

The Play Typer Guy

In the previous episode, I chatted with Gabe Garbowit, former Senate staffer for Democrat Tina Smith, regarding the radicalized Supreme Court and how the party’s leadership has responded in ways not easily understood by the public. In this episode, Gabe and I continue our discussion, so make sure you check out episode 34 for the first part.

You’ll hear:

• Why we hear that crime is up/down or that there is an invasion at the border, but also why our economy is the best it has ever been
• How opinions are often filtered through “polls” and pundits, leaning on supposed data versus people saying what they personally believe
• Why communications staffers should be watching Fox News
• And more!

Guest Info:

Gabe Garbowit is the former Digital Media Specialist for Senator Tina Smith and found his way to the Hill sort of by accident — but has been invested in carving out his own space in the Senate’s digital landscape since his arrival in 2018. Garbowit left Congress and took a sharp turn away from politics. He worked briefly as a meat cutter at a Washington barbecue joint and then moved back to Minnesota.

He’s more than 1,000 miles away from the Capitol now, but the challenges he experienced working on the Hill are still top of mind. Garbowit decided to do something he hopes will improve conditions for former compatriots still working in the Senate and those yet to join. In 2023, he launched SenateUnionTracker.com, which, true to its domain name, tracks the union support or opposition of all 100 senators.
