Episode 211: King of the Jews
Listen now
Description
Eli Sanders, Katie Herzog, and Rich Smith talk about Trump’s recent demand that American Jews stop being “disloyal” and stupid by voting for Democrats. (Also discussed: Trump’s proud retweet of a guy who called him the “King of Israel.”) Plus, in a surprise to no one, Trump has abandoned his talk about enacting meaningful gun control in the wake of continued mass shootings. After that, Katie explains what’s going on with Title X, Planned Parenthood, and the Trump administration. It’s a bureaucratic duel that has major consequences for how reproductive healthcare is delivered in this country. Finally, Jasmyne explains what’s so irresistible about HBO’s Succession and dives into a New York Times investigation into presidential candidates’ playlists. Plus, as always, the music of Ahamefule J. Oluo.
