By rule of Remnant law, if Jonah doesn’t have fellow Dispatcher Chris Stirewalt on the show at least once every ninety days, frogs will fall from the sky and the oceans will turn to ice. To avert global catastrophe, Chris is back to check in on the electoral dumpster fire. Jonah and Chris discuss the difficulty of maintaining the upper hand in a vibes election, the Republican obsession with media coverage, and the domestic disputes between the Mommy and Daddy parties. In addition, the 2004 Presidential election is rehashed to shed light on the mimetic warfare waging in the vice presidential race as Jonah and Chris put the pressure on Tim Walz to talk to the press and make some predictions regarding the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
Show Notes:
—Trump turned politics into reality TV. Now Harris is the show to watch.
—The windsurfing ad
