September 20, 2021 18:51 - 13 minutes - 18.5 MBHello, my friends. Today, we’re talking about the tension President Biden will walk into during the United Nations General Assembly because of the newly-negotiated Australia-UK-US (AUKUS *insert eyeroll*) agreement.

September 15, 2021 19:05 - 8 minutes - 12.3 MBIn advance of our discussion of Reagan's presidency on Friday's episode, Beth is diving deep into Reagan's time as California's governor.

September 13, 2021 20:38 - 14 minutes - 20 MBHello, my friends. On Friday’s episode of the podcast, we’ll be discussing Ronald Reagan’s legacy. I know that might seem kind of random, but Reagan’s presidency was transformative in ways that I have personally underappreciated and misunderstood. Preparing for that episode sent me down all kinds of paths. One of those paths was thinking more about social security, and that’s what I want to discuss today. We have a new report to Congress telling us that social security’s long-term solvency...

We’re going to talk about Afghanistan and the Delta variant and more on abortion (sigh) on tomorrow’s podcast. Today, we’re going to indulge a little schadenfreude. A federal district judge in Michigan has brought the wrath to Lin Wood and Sidney Powell for lying in Court about the 2020 presidential election.
