  • Kamala’s Closing Argument (feat. AOC)

    Kamala’s Closing Argument (feat. AOC)
    Oct 30 2024

    Kamala Harris delivers a rousing closing speech, promising to be a president for all Americans and sharply contrasting her plans with Donald Trump's. Trump works to clean up that terrible Puerto Rico joke, getting assists from Sean Hannity and, unfortunately, President Biden, and Trump and surrogates like Elon Musk and Mike Johnson remind voters about their plans to take away health care and slash government budgets—and maybe crash the economy while they're at it. Jon Lovett and the Bulwark's Tim Miller sift through all of it, including the three remaining groups of undecided voters and the unending debate over invoking "fascism." Then, Lovett and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talk about how to persuade disaffected progressives and what she's been seeing on the ground in Pennsylvania.

  • Rage at Madison Square Garden

    Rage at Madison Square Garden
    Oct 29 2024

    Donald Trump and Kamala Harris offer two very different closing messages as we enter the last week before the election: Harris hits the trail with Beyoncé and Michelle Obama and pitches her economic plan for Puerto Rico, while Trump and his cronies light up Madison Square Garden with more vitriol, racism, and hate than even we're used to. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to a packed weekend of campaigning and discuss how the Harris campaign is making the final sale. Then, Alyssa Mastromonaco talks with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi about what it's like being one of Trump's "enemies within," what's keeping her up at night, and what she's expecting on Election Day.

they do a good job of giving me a good overview of current events. I feel they are as tough on the left as they are the right.

funny, honest with a left lean

long time listener. I appreciate all of the research and commitment to sharing highlights of current political events. I may disagree with giving Harris a pass on Gaza but I agree many world atrocities including Sudan. it is erie how well they predicted Trump as existential threat to democracy, all around the world it seems a rise in far right hate. They're oddly comforting because it's all really scary but they keep us laughing and informed. Traditional news media is boring and too many commercials. I won't be getting simply safe because I like big dogs but I would try Athletic Greens if I had a free sample to try out first, good concept. I prefer those to constant pharma adds. All of us our lucky They're in the trenches for us digging through the grime and worst of politics to give us a wide perspective and not just a blue bubble. #Harris2024 go democracy, be patriots

These guys really take the sting out

America is weird and sad in so many ways right now, this team succeeds in making me feel slightly less depressed about it.

Very Funny and Informative

Great guests and discussions. They acknowledge the more liberal bent of the show and that is a-ok. Good alternative to Right Wing Radio/Podcasts and Fox News.
