Is This 1975??? Sep 16, 2024

The second Trump assassination attempt conjures up memories of the period in 1975 when Gerald Ford was targeted twice in 18 days. Are we entering a period of domestic political violence similar to the one during which Ford was nearly killed? Or is 2024 different?

Is Harris Stalling Out? Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

The political world was strangely rocked by a New York Times/Siena poll showing Trump with a one-point national lead, 48-47—leading Democrats and the media to worry openly that her momentum is gone. We explain why that might be the case, with a stop in Pittsburgh at the most politically divisive spice store in America as the dubious location for Harris making a plea to end our polarization. Give a listen.

And we conclude our week-long discussion of our own Christine Rosen's very important new book, The Extinction of Experience. Give a listen.
