August 29, 2024 The Dynamics of the Jump Ball
National polling shows Kamala Harris in the lead but battleground-state polling shows pretty much a tie between her and Donald Trump in the places that will decide the election. How to explain this, and how to explain the controversy over Trump laying a wreath at Arlington Cemetery? Give a listen.

August 27, 2024 BREAKING NEWS: Kamala Likes Doritos
A full house on today's podcast shows how the press is attempting to cover for Kamala Harris's silence on issues through hilariously banal teen-fan-magazine coverage, and whether Donald Trump is now moving to take advantage of that silence. Give a listen.

August 26, 2024 Israel's Remarkable Military Strike
Jonathan Schanzer joins us today to talk about Israel's action to prevent a massive barrage of Hezbollah missiles raining down on the Jewish state and the bizarre fact that so many are acting as though it has "escalated" a conflict that Hezbollah has been waging against Israel unilaterally since October 8—rather than staging an action that stopped or delayed a wider conflagration. Give a listen.

August 23, 2024 DNC, Day Four: So She Spoke Finally
The Democrats had themselves a convention, they're really happy, Kamala Harris spoke for a while and did fine, the media have gone absolutely bonkers for her entirely—shall we say—conventional speech, and can she keep up being this much of a cipher until Election Day? Give a listen.

August 21, 2024 DNC, Day 2: The Obama Roll Call
We dive deep into the visuals, music, and pageantry of the second day of the Democratic National Convention. Killer speeches by Doug Emhoff and Michelle Obama! Barack, condescending to Joe Biden and pretty much everybody else in America! And the best roll call of the states ever! Give a listen.

August 20, 2024 DNC, Day 1
There was yelling, chanting, attacking, and speechifying. It was the first night of the Democratic National Convention. How do we think it went for Kamala Harris? And what do we make of Joe Biden's late-night farewell? We agree a little, disagree a little—and, yes, we complain. Give a listen.

August 19, 2024 Here Come the Democrats
Today's podcast previews the Democratic convention, with a focus on media slavishness, whether the Democrats are now high on their own supply, and why history suggests they should not be so confident that Kamala Harris will hit it out of the park when she speaks on Thursday. Also: Some questions we'd like to see answered. Give a listen.
