Matt Rothschild
How to respond to a disaster (Hour 2)
Matt Rothschild guest co-hosts with Dom. In this hour, they get to Bob Woodward's newest bombshell book. Bob Woodward's legacy of exposing corruption in politics stretches five decades. This time, Woodward peels back veils on conversations among top world officials surrounding some of the most critical upheavals of our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic. Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The current Middle-Eastern war. We're really looking forward to getting our hands on a copy of the book and reading it!
Then, let's do some compare and contrast of how the two main party candidates respond to crises. Trump lies about FEMA and discourages people from seeking critical aid. Harris leads with a calm certainty, gives clear instructions, and promotes unity. Gee this is a tough choice... Plus, a heart wrenching ad from the Lincoln Project on the real stakes of re-establishing bodily autonomy rights..

Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right (Hour 1)
So, technically, legally, a candidate *may* lie as part of their campaigning. But that sure doesn't make it right. Matt Rothschild joins Dom to dig back into Republican lies begun by Trump and spiraling down to Hovde. Plus, more of Hovde's despicable campaigning techniques. If you find these tactics as distasteful as we do, you can let their campaign know! Give them a call at 608-535-1184. Isn't it great that our carpetbagging Californian set up a Wisconsin number just for the campaign?

Read the full transcript or rewatch the debate here and decide for yourself.

Perspective (Hour 2)
Matt Rothschild joins us as our regular Wednesday guest. A woman's perspective. The most recent poll from the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics shows that young voters are ready and excited to vote for Kamala Harris. Harris holds a particular edge with young women, with a 47% margin lead over Trump. No surprise there. Still, those numbers give us a lot of optimism! Next, we address a response to Trump's comments yesterday about being a "protector" of women, insisting that women will "no longer be thinking about abortion". Producer Jess delivers a dramatic reading of Alexandra Petri's (Washington Post) satirical piece, "It is so much nicer to be a woman in Trump's world".
We wrap the show with a discussion of Biden's farewell address to the UN yesterday. President Biden spoke with clarity, compassion, and grace, showing true leadership perspective on the challenges this world faces.

Let’s be specific (Hour 1)
We hear and read frequent complaints that Kamala Harris doesn't provide specifics when it comes to policy. Well, today, Harris laid out detailed and specific economic policy in Pittsburgh. In contrast, her opponent's proposed policy... well... lacks all substance. Tune in for our highlights with our regular guest, Matt Rothschild.
In the bottom of the hour, we address the disparate ways the media (sometimes ourselves included) cover Trump and Harris. Harris too often receives criticism for lack of content. And Trump far too often benefits from significant sanewashing of his absolutely inane speech and behavior. We're trying to do better.
