Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for June 16th, 2016, the Brexit Pursued by a Bear edition.

I'm David Plotz of Atlas Obscura in Washington, D.C. John Dickerson,

Face the Nation. Hello, John, is in New York City, I think, right?

Yes, indeed. Hello, David.

Emily is trying to see Europe before Brexit destroys it, so she is off on vacation somewhere in the EU.

And that means that we have a special guest, Jamel Bowie, Slate's chief political correspondent.

Our regular, a regular sub is here sitting in her place.

Hello, Jamel.

Hello.

Jamel's in Washington with me.

On this week's Gab Fest, the massacre at Pulse in Orlando, which competing narrative should triumph? There's gun violence, anti-gay hate crime,

Islamist terrorism, all of the above, and also how disgusting has Donald Trump's to the massacre

been. Then, Brexit, what does it mean for you and your bros? We will talk to David Rennie of the economist

about the looming vote to take Great Britain, to take the United Kingdom out of the EU.

Then suppose you want to go protest the Trump Convention in Cleveland, should you? Is that

good for him? Is that good for you? Is it good for America?

That there be protests and what kind of protest should they be. Plus, we'll have cocktail chatter

and in Slate Plus. It'll be a casual conversation about two formal men. John and Jamel, who

are joining me today, are two of the best dressed men in political journalism. And so we're going to

talk about how you dress to cover a contentious summary political campaign. I can't believe we're actually going to do that. Well, you came up with no Slate Plus topics, John. I know. I know. It's because it's a busy week. Yeah, it was busy for me too. That's what I, that was what I came up with on the train at 1030

last night. If you were not yet a Slate Plus member, you can get it by going to slate.com
