Democrats are feeling hopeful right now. And hope is contagious. Americans love hope. We saw that in massive ways in and around the Olympics. We see it at the start of the new school year. The beginning of the new football season. Fall is actually a time of hope. And the hope is contagious right now. But hope is not a course of action. Hope is not a plan. But it is cool. And a lot cooler than weird.
Meanwhile, the war between the warrior candidates over their time in uniform continues. This week, with Walz defending himself from the Swift Boat 2.0 attack from Trump, Vance and the MAGA right. As Harris surges, Trump’s desperation is increasing, and the race continues to heat up.
But will it move enough independents? And why are Trump supporters worried about RFK Jr and pushing for Cornell West to get on the ballot in Wisconsin? And we check in on Zelensky and Ukraine, the only folks having a better two weeks than Harris and Walz.
And we’ve got the perfect guest to cut through the noise. He’s been in the fire and he’s as cool as they get. Michael Steele (@MichaelSteele) is back and as always, he’s bringing the heat (Hear/watch his previous appearances in Episode 269 on Leap Day – Feb. 29, 2024, Episode 193 from Oct 2022 and Episode 222 from May 2023). The Former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Former Lt. Gov. of Maryland has served in all levels of elected and government office and is now the host of an all new show on MSNBC, the Weekend. It’s another fun, insightful and real insiders conversation about the Presidential race and all the related parts. With no punches pulled.
