It's time once again for debt crisis theater as House republicans agree with Democrats on a proposed deal, acquiescing to massive debt in exchange for minor concessions. Meanwhile, in an effort to drive a wedge between white and nonwhite people, the Left indulges in truly comedic arguments about race in America. Behind the absurdism there are important trends that deserve a closer look. And the Ron vs. Don showdown is official now that DeSantis has announced a run for the presidency. The editors discuss it all before commanding you to read the damn site (by issuing their recommendations to guide your reading).

0:06.4 | is appearing now would be because there's this growing Hispanic population in the US. |
0:13.6 | The coalition of the Ascendant is sort of will not be televised, has not really delivered on |

0:28.0 | you know, traditional faith who might actually identify with kind of classic American values like |
0:33.3 | spark work. And since that is in itself according to this Smithsonian, an actual white supremacist |

0:55.0 | trying to be white or they're trying to be American, which means being a murderous psychopath. |
1:05.9 | Hello, and welcome once again to The Round Table, your weekly publishers and editors podcast |
1:29.6 | here at The American Mind. I'm your host, Spencer Clayvin, features editor of The American Mind, |
1:34.8 | and associate editor at the Claremont review of books. I am joined this week by managing editor |
1:41.7 | Seth Baron and publisher and president Ryan Williams. It has become a sort of cliche here at The Round |

1:57.4 | time frame between when we do the recording and when the podcast drops. And this is one of those |
2:03.4 | times because we are in the middle of a vote on this new debt ceiling bill. As I speak, it has |
2:11.8 | passed to go to a house vote 241 to 187 to pass the rule governing debate on the measure, |
2:20.0 | setting it up for a final vote. Those that have not been following this story, there's been |
