It's hard to read the news these days without asking yourself, how did we get here?

Fiasco is a history podcast for the co-creators of Slow Burn.

In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examine an unmistakable turning point in American politics,

the 2000 election, which resulted in a high-stakes stalemate, ended with one of the most controversial rulings in Supreme Court history.

So if you're trying to make sense at the present moment, check out Fiasco, Bush v. Gore.

Welcome in.

I hope all of you are having a fantastic Tuesday, wherever you may be across this great country or around the world.

I am around the world a bit in Israel, where we have been touring so many different amazing places

and seeing a lot of what the front lines of a war looks like.

From Lebanon down yesterday, Buck, we were overlooking Gaza.

There's a lot of good stuff that's up at Clay and Buck of what we are seeing here.

You've got, while we're here, the situation in Syria, which I'll probably ask you about in a little bit,

because I'm curious how you would break all that down.

But I didn't want to make sure that we played this cut because there have been a lot of people out there, Buck,

as we have been talking about Daniel Penny and the not guilty verdict in the subway case and also

the arrest of the individual, as we were just talking about in the health care system for

the murder of Brian Thompson. There have been some people out there trying to analogize

these two situations as if they are similar.

In particular, a woman named Audi Cornish is on CNN, and I saw this clip, and I couldn't

believe it was real, but she compared them both and said, tell me why one vigilante action is okay and the other one is not.

Listen to this.
