Summary

On today’s episode, Jonah, now back in his empty nest in D.C., desperately requires a distraction from the oppressive August heat. Fortunately, RealClearPolitics associate editor and fan-favorite guest A.B. Stoddard has just the topic: infrastructure. Exceedingly rank punditry ensues, as they explore divisions within the Democratic Party, racial progress in America, and why moderate Democrats find it difficult to be loud about their moderation. Along the way, they also discuss whether COVID or the Afghanistan tragedy can be blamed for President Biden’s declining approval ratings. Brace your bingo cards.

0:40.7	they would let me bring it out from outside the paywall.
0:43.7	I gotta say, I'm starting to, for, I'm not exactly sure why, maybe just the rhythm of the week.
0:48.7	Maybe it's the Nigerian bubbles in my blood, but I find that Wednesday's G-File is easier to write, and I like the final product better than the Friday stuff.
0:59.7	So, anyway, come check it out if you can.
1:02.7	On to the show at hand. I'm very excited to have one of my absolute favorite people in the world back on.
1:12.7	She is, I believe, a five-timer at this point. We gotta go check the books. It'd be weird if she weren't.
1:19.7	And I, last time I introduced her as, which is the way I've referred to her for years, as lovely and talented.
1:28.7	And I got all sorts of dumb, caring, feminist blowback for, for, for, otherizing her or something.
1:36.7	Don't care for, I think she's lovely and talented. So, we have AB Stoddard, Associate Editor at Real Clear Politics, and a columnist over there as well, and a fellow dog lover.
1:48.7	AB, welcome back.
1:49.7	It's wonderful to be with you, Jonah.
1:52.7	Isn't DC in August just divine?
1:56.7	Yeah. I thought of you immediately this morning when I checked my phone and saw the humidity was 96%.
