Jon Stewart is awesome and brings together the best people for serious discussions. So many good points on this pod.

An overarching point - if we fail to invest in our community via mental health and poverty, we end up investing that money in lives and prisons.

Ezra Klein - How Liberalism is Hobbling Government

Great discussion on how many of the mechanisms built into policies and legislation are gumming up the ability for that legislation to be effective. Lawyers hold too much power.

Good quote:

Crippling the state is bad for business

Discussion about how nostalgia for the 1950s is misplaced if you actually look at the state of the economy when you look at the specifics

The move of production/goods to Mexico. Is Mexico the new China? More goods are being shipped from Mexico via Laredo, Texas by truck than goods coming to LA by ships.

Going off of another thread, this pod discusses Nikki Hailey's campaign and echoes my sentiment. She's not seriously running to win. If she was, she'd go after Trump. Instead, she's going after Biden. Their consensus is that Hailey is running for another UN position...lol.

Also, a bit on Don Lemon being an ass

This is obviously relevant to recent discussion. So many good angles on the collapse, why and what next..etc. Plus a suggestion that the FDIC should just insure all deposits at all banks.

Not really a pod, but an interesting conversation between Jon Stewart and Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks. Her answers on audits are laughable.

I always appreciate the 538 pod, though particularly focused on 22ish min in regarding a "win it back" study on what was effective in an ad against Trump. Tl;Dr - ads which discuss winnability and childish behavior seem to be most effective.

I always appreciate Ben and Tommy's view of world events and foreign policy. They continue to dig into the conflict in Gaza and Israel.

Right around 25 mins, they discuss how well planned out the Hamas attack really was.
