Summary

In the preview of this supporters’ exclusive midweek episode, MIke & Jay open with a discussion of the recent UFO hearings held by the House Oversight Committee. They get into the credibility and motives of the witnesses, the likelihood of a big government cover-up, and if government should let the public know about signs of alien life (assuming there are any). Then it’s a discussion of the Civil Rights investigation concerning Harvard’s legacy admission policies. Neither Mike nor Jay are fans of legacy admission preferences, but Jay thinks the government’s case is on weaker grounds than Mike does, and points out that the left was largely silent on legacy admissions until the recent Supreme Court affirmative action case didn’t go their way. They close the episode with a discussion of President Biden’s meeting with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni and the larger phenomenon of nativist far-right movements gaining power in democracies all over the world. This gets into a discussion of class distinctions as well as Mike & Jay’s joint recommendation of the song Common People – both the Pulp and William Shatner versions.)
