Summary

PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/74048274 The terrible right-wing documentary RIDING THE DRAGON: THE BIDENS' CHINESE SECRETS (2022) attempts to argue that Joe Biden has used his diplomatic relationship with China to enrich his family. It's a theory that strikes us as basically true, but delivered with right-wing blinders. PLUS: on the political efficacy of throwing soup at paintings, and an update on the U.S. midterms.

Now, I don't think we've talked very much about the midterm elections on this show, but Will,

0:03.8

I assume you have real clear politics.

0:06.0

Your homepage, you're refreshing it every day to look at the polls and the different Senate

0:10.5

races and stuff.

0:11.4

You're following it very closely.

0:12.5

I will check to see if Dr. Oz wins and if the guy from the 1517 to Paris wins.

0:20.1

Those are the two races that I'm really emotionally invested in.

wisdom on the midterms has changed maybe twice. I think in the summer, there was a belief that

the Democrats might actually win or, at the very

0:38.4

least, not do as badly as is very typical of a governing party to do at this stage of things,

you know, halfway through a presidential term, largely because of Roversus Wade, I think,

0:50.1

because of a well, a well-founded sense of dangerous Republican overreach. That sort of

0:56.6

overturned what had been the conventional wisdom before, that, you know, the Democrats were going to have

1:01.1

a more standard midterm, you know, not very good. And now I think things have shifted again.

1:06.8

And I mean, my strong sense is somebody who's kind of, you know, Jacobin's kind of had me diving into the midterms a little bit more than I had been.

1:15.3

And my strong sense is that they're not going to go very well for the Democrats at all.

1:19.9

That, you know, they're probably going to lose the House and that they may lose the Senate as well.

1:23.8

China is going to eat our lunch.

1:26.8

Come on, man. I mean, I, you know, they're not bad folks,

1:31.9

folks. I do like that, you know, the, the people behind this documentary are clearly, you know,
