Welcome to the Dispatch Podcast. I'm your host Sarah Isger joined by Jonah Goldberg and

0:04.4

Declan Garvey, our editor for the Morning Dispatch. This week we are going to start with the Buffalo

0:11.1

shooting. What it means for our politics, for our culture, how to think about these shootings as

0:19.5

they continue and as hate crimes increase in the country as well. Then we're going to move to

0:25.2

the baby formula shortage and the politics of the Biden administration kind of drop in the ball

0:31.2

on babies having food in the country. Primaries, we had the Pennsylvania primary and what it means for

0:37.5

Donald Trump, the Democrats and really just primary elections in general. And then of course we will

0:42.4

wrap with what wasn't worth your time this week. All three of us, different takes.

1:01.6

Let's dive right in. Jonah, the shooter in Buffalo had a 180 page manifesto rant, whatever you

1:52.7

I'm getting some of the details of this theory wrong because I'm not sure how much the details

1:56.7

matter because also within our political conversation there is at least a faulty Tucker Carlson,

2:05.7

people on the right who are talking about how Democrats want to replace voters. And on the left,

2:15.4

a sort of demographics is destiny theory where they're saying they will be the governing majority

2:20.4

because of the demographic changes in the country. And then of course we have actual facts,

2:25.5

the birth rate of the United States is plummeting. And so if you don't replace yourself with babies,

2:32.1

someone will replace you I suppose. That's just how math works. So Jonah, my question to you,

2:39.6

how are we supposed to think about the Buffalo shooting? And frankly the El Paso shooting and
