Recessions, Politics, and More

Join our weekly livestreamed conversation.

This week’s Dispatch Live may sound a lot like a live taping of The Dispatch Podcast—Sarah is hosting and will guide Steve, Jonah, and David through a discussion of all of the recent recession talk, Republican and Democratic politics, the latest details from the January 6 committee, and plenty more. And, of course, there will be plenty of time for your questions toward the end of the broadcast. 

Tune in on July 26 at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube. Come with your questions, grab a drink, and settle in for a meaningful conversation. 

Dispatch Live recordings will also be available as a members-only podcast on select platforms. We heard from many of you requesting audio recordings of Dispatch Live and we’re excited to start providing this feature to members. See below for information on how to access the podcast. 

Q&A: We want to hear from you during the show. To ask questions of our panelists and interact with other members you can use the YouTube Live chat feature or simply comment on this post during the broadcast.

    I consider myself an adult. I ate Lucky Charms for dinner last night.

    Regarding actors for the Jan. 6 movie, if they include a scene about Rudy Giuliani's misplaced voicemail to Tommy Tuberville that Steve Hayes reported (https://thedispatch.com/p/giuliani-to-senator-try-to-just-slow), the choice to play Steve is obvious.

    Sarah, I hope the green room Chick-fil-A conversation was a prelude to the Chicken Sandwich Wars part deux. The people of America need to know definitively where Culvers, Raising Cane's, and Zaxby's fall in the rankings.

    Sara Paulsen as Liz Cheney? (Getting right to the important question.)

    Great edition, gang. I found the "What's the most meaningful book behind you?" exercise really interesting. Strong entries from everyone. We had Fellowship of the Ring (and that WASN'T DAVID!), Benjamin Franklin's autobiography ("The Junto" - nice but probably for the best that you went with "The Dispatch" to avoid the junta confusion), history of the Civil War (let's hope that's the last war by that name in this country), and an 1830s bound edition US Constitution! I'll have to be more mindful of which bookcase I sit in front of for my next Zoom.

    The call on whether Trump will or will not run is a layup that you all missed. 100% guaranteed he will NOT run. Period.

    What’s the first rule of Trump club- Trump only picks fights he thinks in his head he will win.

    The winning hand in 2024 is to play Kingmaker.

    The one thing that he absolutely cannot handle would not to get the nomination.

    While your discussion was interesting- he won’t win the 2024 primary- let alone the general. Only pundits have an interest in pretending otherwise.

    I have absolutely no interest in seeing Jonah in a toga, but if that is the price for a different podcast host to wear some Jabba the Hut shit, well... I have already purchased my ticket to the conference. Where else would I have the opportunity to see David French in a metal bikini?

    If anyone else is planning to attend, I highly recommend booking one of the rooms set aside at the discounted rate. $400/night may not seem like much of a discount, but the regular room rates I saw before noticing the discount rate were $1,200 night. So the discount is actually pay for one night, get 2 nights free. Guys, was the $200/night Hilton just not fancy enough?

    Could not hear Steve. Please work on audio volume for all. Sarah’s and David’s okay. More for Jonah.

    Good stuff.

      That's on me. I lost the cover for my mic and kept it at a distance so as to not sound too hot. Will be fixed for the next one.

        While you’re here , will a new COO and other new hires free you up at all to write? I wouldn’t so much care about what. I just think TD needs another seasoned hand making regular contributions. And you should be it.

          Jonah, why are you posting under the name Pohl?

            The short - non-smart-alecky - answer is yes. I'm excited to be reporting again and I'm very eager to start writing again more regularly.

    Can anyone tell me why the Dispatch no longer fits on my screen? Everything else looks as it always has, but when I open emails from the Dispatch each line goes on about twice as long as the screen is wide. What's up with that?
