David and Sarah engage in a wide-ranging analysis of John Bolton’s potential testimony before the Senate, whether Trump can tweet his way through the War Powers Act (or legally bomb cultural sites), and we discuss whether Chief Justice Roberts will touch Roe v. Wade. And then they talk about Tom Hanks at the Golden Globes.

    I think DisPATCH implies the use of the verb meaning to send off or do away with. DISpatch the noun means a message or news item.

      Ahh yes. Imagine a sentence like this, "Dispatch Private Jones with the dispatch to Colonel Smith." You'd say it differently. Still, I like my pronunciation better.

        I noted this a couple weeks ago when Jonah was on Fox News Sunday. Chris Wallace pronounces it the way you do so you are in good company (even if it sounds somewhat hoity toity that way for reasons I cannot explain haha :)

    We need a ruling on David's pronunciation of The Dispatch. He keeps saying 'DisPATCH,' whereas everyone else on staff says 'DISpatch,' which is clearly the superior pronunciation.
