2356 – Assessing The Campaign 11 Days Out w/ Tommy Vietor
It’s Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Tommy Vietor, co-founder of Crooked Media, to round up the week in news. First, Sam runs through updates on US presidential polling, US Senate races, Israel’s indiscriminate offensives in Lebanon and Gaza, Elon’s secret contact with Putin and (definitely unrelated) campaign shenanigans, the CFPB, and the US’ Indigenous boarding schools, also watching Fox attempt to explain why Trump was praising Hitler as a businessman, not a Presidential candidate. Tommy Vietor then joins, jumping right into a conversation on the state of the US presidential race, unpacking the GOP’s big jump in early voting (alongside other, very real Get out the Vote struggles), the Harris Campaign’s targeting of young Black men and alienated conservative white women, and why Harris isn’t highlighting her “change” policies around social welfare despite her desperate need to differentiate herself from Biden. Vietor, Sam, and Emma also tackle the major swing right among Arab-American voters amid the Biden Administration’s exuberant support for the genocide in Gaza, before touching on the benefits and costs of the late start to the Harris campaign, and wrapping up with the major threat Trump poses to Biden’s major progressive wins on the domestic front.
And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Trump’s double down on the bigoted anti-immigrant lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, basks in Ben Shapiro getting schooled on immigration, and watches the Good Liars keep up the lord’s work of mocking fascists. Dan from New York unpacks Zionist indoctrination, Marissa from California has some unfortunate reflections on Harris’ text campaign, and the Soy Pill from YouTube shares some stories about the floundering Trump campaign. Joe from Kansas and Dave from Jamaica reflect on Islamophobic repression and genocide across the globe, plus, your calls and IMs!
