Description
Frank Sadler (Chief of Staff to Carly Fiorina), Lanae Erickson (Senior Vice President for the Social Policy & Politics Program at Third Way), and Molly McKew (Lead author of GreatPower.US) join host Ron Steslow to unpack some of the most important stories of the week and how they’re shaping the political landscape:
(03:02) Russia’s increased aggression, Tulsi jumps ship, Elon Musk’s “Peace Plan” that may have been written by Putin
(31:25) The Fed’s fight to against inflation and the danger of recession
(48:35) The Supreme Court ruling blocking Pennsylvania from counting undated ballots and the challenge to Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan
[Politicology+ Subscribers Only] The leaked tape of racist remarks by LA City council members, what it means for the mythology of an emerging pluralistic society that’s better than our country’s past, and how the lack of decorum diminishes our faith in government.
