Summary

On The Gist, getting a bit willy-nilly with "white supremacy." In the interview, John Hickenlooper may be mulling a pivot from presidential to Senate candidate, but he was at the Iowa State Fair to weigh in on issues that affect the entire country—and to strike a moderate tone. In last year's midterms, he says, "the successful Democrat did not embrace the Green New Deal and did not embrace 'Medicare for All.' That's what we're going to need to do to beat Donald Trump." In the Spiel, there is no greater joy than knowing which kids' shows—from our own generation or not—are crap. Slate Plus members get bonus segments and ad-free podcast feeds. Sign up now.

0:58.5	Well, Trump is on the record saying, I don't know what's so wrong with nationalism,
