Summary

On The Gist, live, from Slate, it's a post-apocalyptic skit that just might come to pass if you don't vote on Tuesday. In the interview, for decades, there was no need to hope for (or fear) a blue wave; until 1994, the Democratic Party enjoyed a 40-year monopoly on the House of Representatives. Then came Newt Gingrich, who engineered the Republican sweep of the lower chamber, and who looms large in our guest Steve Kornacki's latest book, The Red and the Blue: The 1990s and the Birth of Political Tribalism. In the Spiel, more about (what else) the midterms. Also: Go vote. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dine upon the flesh of the fallen, for it is the only sustenance we are given? As the rivers now run

leader, I'll praise be the leader, I'll respect to him. But tell me, father, when did it all change?

1:07.4

From the stolen books, you have secreted to me. They speak of an Obama. Was this the turning point?

1:14.4

No son. It was a bit after that. But what if this co-me? This announcement by a co-me,
