Declan hosts a packed Dispatch Live with David, Andrew, and Esther (in her Dispatch Live debut). To start, a conversation about the possible use of a dirty bomb in the war between Ukraine and Russia. What would happen if Russia actually used one? Then, an update on China and Xi’s grip on the Chinese Communist Party. Finally, Andrew joins with an update from his campaign trip to Arizona and what to make of the Pennsylvania Senate debate.

    This was great. Glad Esther could join for her first TD Live. Good answer on that first question on China. Glad TD Live continues to mix up the lineup.

    2 takeaways (I missed TDL this week but just watched the recording):

    (1) More Esther, please. She's witty, charming, funny, etc... You guys are nuts if you don't get her back doing more TDLs; and

    (2) Three cheers for the Youth Movement at The Dispatch. Of course we all love David/Steve/Sarah/Jonah, but Declan/Andrew/Esther = amazing as well. The talent "in the wings" of The Dispatch is superb.

      Agree on both, Kevin!

      Admittedly maybe, “youth movement” isn’t helping the case given Jonah’s public statements about youth politics.

    Good discussion on all topics.

    Poor Mr Fetterman. I'm not sure how his doctors predict a full recovery, when he is already a bit more than 5 months out from his stroke. He clearly did not seem to catch his own verbal mistakes.
