EMERGENCY: Biden Done, Harris on Deck
22 JUL 2024 · In what is our longest podcast ever, we discuss: How sick is Joe Biden and will the potential cover-up of his condition become an issue for his apparent successor, Kamala Harris; how can Democrats complain about the threat to our democracy when they just engineered an outcome voted on by 17 million people in primaries; will Kamala Harris answer questions about policy or will she hide; and how will Donald Trump handle his new rival? Give a listen.
RNC, Days 4...and 5?
19 JUL 2024 · We try to break down the Trump speech as we groggily convene to discuss the Endless Night that concluded the convention—with side exchanges very much like Trump's on Hulk Hogan, and Israel, and Hamas, and Ukraine, and the Houthis, and the Secret Service, and the Democratic coup against Biden....Give a listen.
RNC, Day Three
18 JUL 2024 · Joe Biden announced that he has Covid. And there's talk he's more receptive to ending his reelection bid. Is this finally happening? Is Kamala Harris his obvious replacement? And who does she pick for VP? Meanwhile, the third day of the RNC featured the powerful appearance of Gold Star families, rousing cheers for Israel, and the unconventional convention debut of J.D. Vance? Give a listen.
RNC, Day Two
17 JUL 2024 · What's this? Happy, cheerful, confident Republicans? That's what was on display last night at the convention, an evening that highlighted what might be called the GOP's "diversity." We also recommend, as a reminder of politics past, Andrew Ferguson's 2010 COMMENTARY piece, https://www.commentary.org/articles/andrew-ferguson/press-man-pundit-declined/ Give a listen.
RNC, Day One
16 JUL 2024 · Before delving into events in Milwaukee, we discuss the dismissal of the Donald Trump documents case, Joe Biden's disturbing interview with Lester Holt, and the status of the investigation into Trump's would-be assassin. And then we get into the significance of VP pick J.D. Vance, the Teamsters, and a Republican National Convention like no other. Give a listen.
After the Shooting
15 JUL 2024 · As Donald Trump readies himself for the Republican National Convention, Joe Biden has spoken three times to the American people since the assassination attempt. To what end? What's his point? What's his purpose? And what's all this talk about unity—is unity what we need? Give a listen.
EMERGENCY: The Assassination Attempt
14 JUL 2024 · Is what happened to Donald Trump last night in Pennsylvania the beginning of a new period of American instability of the sort that gripped the country and the world in the wake of the JFK assassination—or is it the culmination of two decades of wildly irresponsible rhetoric? Or is it both? Give a listen.
Biden Isn't Going Anywhere
12 JUL 2024 · Tevi Troy joins us to discuss the Biden press conference, which revealed his determination to stay in the race and what that might mean for suffering Democrats and liberals (more suffering). Give a listen.
Kornacki's Back!
11 JUL 2024 · The podcast welcomes back Steve Kornacki, political correspondent for NBC News and all-around wise man, for his take on the latest Biden polling, the question of a "Trump ceiling," the Northeast's voting dynamic, and what an "open convention" might look like. Give a listen.
Is Trump Headed for a Landslide?
10 JUL 2024 · As Nancy Pelosi hints at the need for Joe Biden to hang it up, the polling and news stories are just all good for Donald Trump, and his relaxed performance at a rally in Florida suggests he is in a different, weirdly positive place as he heads to the Republican convention. Whom will he pick as Veep? Give a listen.
