Hi there, I'm Lalei Arikoglu, and this podcast is brought to you by Wilderness, a conservation-driven

hospitality company that offers intimate wildlife encounters in extraordinary remote landscapes.

Last year, I embarked on two separate solo adventures with Wilderness, one to Botswana and the other

to Namibia, where the expert guides delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime

experience. I promise you, whatever you watch and see before you go won't prepare you for the thrill

of a wilderness adventure. eBay, it's a place to fall in love with new pre-loved vintage and rare

fashion over and over again.

Your favorite designers, expertly authenticated.

Yeah, eBay. Things people love.

It's Friday, July 22nd.

I'm Dorothy Wicenden, executive editor of The New Yorker. Let's start with perhaps the most remarkable moment of this week's Republican convention in Cleveland, the concluding remarks of

To those listening, please don't stay home in November.

If you love our country and love your children as much as I know that you do. Stand and speak and vote your

conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom

and to be faithful to the Constitution. Then last night, Donald Trump had this to say.

Our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life.

Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country.

Amy Davidson and Evan Osnose are here to discuss the most divided political convention in recent

decades and what it means for the future of the party and this election.
