Summary

Will Saletan of Slate returns to discuss the looming possibility of a political conflict between the Biden administration and the public sector teachers’ unions who nominally support him, the ways in which the pandemic has shifted labor back into the private sphere of the American household, why both parties should be aiming to present themselves as “the ‘not crazy’ party” (and why they both seem to be doing the opposite), and much more. Will also provides a useful thought experiment as to whether or not one is engaging in hypocrisy in political discussions: “Always try to ask, ‘Am I doing the same thing I’m accusing others of?’” Show Notes: -Will’s page at Slate -Will: “The Enemy isn’t Republicans. It’s Liars.” -Biden now wants 1.5 million vaccinations a day -Student suicides in Las Vegas -Will with Charlie Sykes on The Bulwark podcast -Jonah: “The Center is a Lonely Place to Be” -Will: “Trump is the GOP’s warlord” -Lucifer: “The very first radical” -Tucker Carlson goes to bat for QAnon -Newsweek edits 2015 story to conform to new attack on Tom Cotton -Burke and the impeachment of Warren Hastings -Jonah and Tom Friedman: BFFs -Take our podcast survey Learn more about your ad choices.
