Bob claims to know what Mickey will say about the Supreme Court’s voting rights decision; Mickey tries to prove him wrong. Mickey tries to get Bob to welcome his Federalist Society overlords. Who are these ‘slaves’ who show up in the Star Spangled Banner’s third stanza? Bret Weinstein makes a brief appearance. Mickey’s B- Rumsfeld anecdotes. Does tenure for Nikole Hannah-Jones mean she’s leaving the New York Times? Mickey’s incredible Bill Cosby prescience. Who wants to make party chit-chat with Thomas Chatterton Williams? Bob tries to explain what the documentary HyperNormalisation is about (and winds up questioning a Syrian chemical weapons narrative). Eric Weinstein’s tellingly weird Clubhouse appearance. Mickey wonders why “Space Traders” is a seminal CRT text. Hunter and Joe hang out with Carlos Slim—You got a problem with that? Roy Buchanan and Barbara Keith. Mickey asks: Are we naturally monogamous? The Republicans want to campaign on immigration, but there’s a problem. Grand finale: Breaking news on the refundable child tax credit. Who’s smarter—Einstein, Weinsteins, or our commenters?
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
