How PBS NewsHour—or was it Washington Week in Review?—used to frame Overton windows. Peter Baker’s and Susan Glasser’s son takes down Stanford’s president. Jeffrey Goldberg prevails over his white maleness. The time Bob was too shy to meet Dick Cavett. Will Elon’s conservative bona fides save the Tesla truck? Synagogue shooter gets death penalty. Sinead O’Connor’s sad self-appraisal. What happens next if room-temperature superconductors are real? Is Bob overanalyzing the UFO whistleblower? Free the Epstein tapes! Ron DeSantis’s war on TikTok. Deception on dating apps. Decoupling from China is working—and that may be bad. Bob reflects on jury duty, Mickey gets jury summons. Rise of the AI radiologists. Cold War II goes to Africa. Vivek’s vanity campaign. Lingering Biden-Ukraine questions.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
