We never miss and episode! Political analysis from three of the most knowledgeable and deeply credentialed reporters of our time!
Roundtable is excellent, so smart. I will say though that sometimes Jane Mayer interrupts Susan Glasser and it makes me cringe. I see you Susan.
Thanks for the weekly with Evan Osnos and cast! Sane and coherent outlook and perspectives in a nihilistic time.
However, story on the street is that vance himself planted that story, not a leak that “he was against the war” which is also not true as it is being said that vance really said they would need to go into iran hard snd fast. fact-check both sides of this story people.
Typically great and informed commentary on national politics. Episode about Vance and Catholicism totally missed that 36% of Catholic adults are Latino, and 52% of Catholics under age 30 are Latino. Latino Catholics are much more likely to vote Democratic than are white Catholics. White Catholics skew older. Please update the knowledge of the commentators. It’s meaningful.
