    Kamala Pitches Populism, Trump Hawks Watches
    Sep 27 2024

    Harris gives another big economic speech and sits for an interview about protecting consumers and growing the middle class. Trump, meanwhile, claims Iran is trying to kill him, accuses Harris of lying about working at McDonald’s, defends newly indicted Mayor Eric Adams, and engages in yet another grift: selling branded watches. Jon and Dan break down all the latest, including Harris’s upcoming border visit, and chat with Strict Scrutiny’s Melissa Murray about her new MSNBC special on Black women and their potential to decide the election.

    Lovett and guest host Errin Haines break down Kamala Harris's efforts to close the gap with Donald Trump on the economy, and what might be behind Trump's deranged new appeal to women voters. Then, Fox News's Jessica Tarlov, cohost of The Five, stops by to talk about what it's like to be a Democrat on the network Democrats love to hate, and how she survives her daily confrontations with Fox's most opinionated conservatives.

    Is Trump Winning the Sun Belt?
    Sep 24 2024

    Six weeks out from Election Day, new polls show Harris leading nationally, but Trump still ahead in key Sun Belt states.

gives me hope for the future!

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.

Love it. Thank for getting to the grit and adding a dash of humor. So tired of the bothsidesism.

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.
