Tim Walz, Yes! Harold Meyerson; Cat Ladies: Katha Pollitt; ‘Night of the Gun’: David Carr

Listen HERE
Tim Walz was a great choice for Kamala’s VP – Harold Meyerson explains – and takes up the question, what’s happening to the Trump campaign?

Also: JD Vance’s remark about “childless cat ladies” who “want to make the rest of the country miserable” continues to reverberate in the news. Katha Pollitt has our analysis, and rebuts Vance’s argument that people who don’t have children don’t have a stake in the country’s future.

Plus: Your Minnesota Moment: David Carr was a great New York Times media columnist; here he talks about his days as a drug addict in Minneapolis.  His book is Night of the Gun.  (originally broadcast 9/10/08)  8-1-2024
