Summary

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Krystal Ball, co-host of Krystal, Kyle, & Friends and Breaking Points, to round up the week in news. But first, they run through updates on the presidential debate schedule, Ukraine’s surprise offensive, the Harris agenda, X’s lawsuit, labor action, climate change, Israel’s newest assault on Khan Younis, presidential polling, US mortgage rates, and the anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, before parsing through some subtle developments to the Trump campaign strategy. Krystal Ball then joins, tackling her excitement around the Democrats actually going with labor’s choice for VP, and why the fact that Harris is a self-serving politician (who understands the current political landscape) is a good thing for the future of a progressive agenda, before stepping back to assess what we can learn from who she didn’t pick for VP, and how Walz compares to the flaccid elitism of JD Vance. Expanding on this, Krystal, Sam, and Emma explore the wild success of the Dems’ new “weird” pivot to take on Trump’s GOP, and wrap up the interview with an expansive conversation on the Foreign Policy differences between a Harris/Walz ticket and one led by Biden, and how that can impact the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza and bubbling conflict in the Middle East.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch some encouraging comments from Kamala Harris on her relationship to labor, corporate America walks back their Lina Khan comments, and Laura Ingraham and Jesse Watters struggle to take on Tim Walz’ Midwest nice. Joe Rogan shockingly endorses RKF, JD Vance takes on the REAL weirdos, and Matt Walsh comes to the defense of Vance in the face of the “pure evil” of shitposting, plus, your calls and IMs!
