“Amar does not have Trump Derangement Syndrome. To the contrary, he sees Trump for the existential threat and vacuous blowhard that Trump is. If Amar has a fault (and don’t we all) it is that, at heart, he is insecure in his status as a preeminent scholar and authority - he is truly both, but terribly insecure; thus his incessant self-promotion. Andy Lipka is becoming a shining star of these podcasts as he gently and with good humor pulls Amar back on track. Lipka has many great observations; he adds much to the interest of these discussions. Lipka is surely Amar’s intellectual equal. And that’s what makes this podcast worth listening to despite Amar’s insecurity.”
