coming up on this episode of the roundtable.

It was very territorial, even back then,

and straight white guys who were a little weird were very low status.

You know, a lot of this was happening in music you know like being a fan of corn was like oh you're going to kill everyone at school you know it wasn't like celebrating weirdness and then you fast forward to today and it's like now the weirdness has become an insult. So I don't know I mean it's it's

very regrettable how in spite of the fact that the left can't meme at least allegedly they can still like frame

narratives and propagandize with the best of them and every facet of the like J.D. Vance discourse is basically a reaction to some like crappy

framing that has come out of you know left politicians or media organs and and that's unfortunate.

So now they have a VP candidate of their own who looks like he lives in a van down by

that's not for him. Oh, Hello and welcome once again to the roundtable your weekly publishers and editors

podcast here the American Mind. This is your host for today's Seth Barron

managing editor of said website. I'm joined by Editor of the American Mind, James Bulos, and

Well, the news is out.

Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walls or Waltz, I'm not sure,

Governor of Minnesota as her running mate.

Speculation has circled around Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania

and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, among others, as the possible help meet to Kamala Harris, but

Shapiro, who seemed to many to be the obvious best choice, given that Pennsylvania

is a key swing state, he rankled the far left of the Democrat Party. He was seen as too soft on school choice and too much of a

Zionist hardliner. And the Zoomer Hamas fans who comprise the Harris campaign staff seem to have militated against his selection.

Waltz is comfortably situated to the left, some would say the far left.
