Anders' two podcast co-hosts join forces to discuss Kamala Harris' career as a public prosecutor in San Francisco and, later, California. But first, some news of the week: crazy happenings in Israel, veepstakes and the Women's Olympic boxing freakout.

Our first (accidentally) topical episode! We had originally planned to talk with comedian Von Decarlo--who has an excellent "Drunk Kamala" character--about Harris' 2020 campaign. Then she became the presumptive nominee. Enjoy our discussion of the 2024 race and our possibly soon to be un-vanquished Vice President's background!
