Hello and welcome to the Slate Political GabFest for July 24th, 2015. The Who Will Donald Trump Insult Next Edition? I'm David Flotz of Atlas of Spura here in Washington, D.C. Emily Bazelon is in New York Times Magazine. Hello. You're in New Haven. Hello, hello. Where there apparently is a tape delay. There is it. Are you delayed, Emily? No, I wasn't delayed.

We are talking today about whether we have reached peak Trump and whether John Kasich has a chance in the GOP primary race. Our second topic will be Black Lives Matter, Democratic candidates and Sandra Bland's death.

2:35.0

We will tie all those things together.

2:37.0

Then we will talk about Obama's secret plan to close Guantanamo Bay.

2:41.5
