exterior, starting to sell it to the rest of the country, repackaged, mortgage-backed security-like, back to Americans again with a different branding.
David CochraneHOST
You know, Laura, one of the conclusions I draw from it is the theory put forward by the U.S. journalist Ezra Klein that the party that listens to Twitter loses.
David CochraneHOST
Because you kind of end up in this echo chamber of self-reinforcing dopamine clips that's divorced from reality.
David CochraneHOST
And one of the things that became a real issue in this stretch run of this for the Trump candidate, was just the corruption and self-dealing that it ranked in like the top four issues, that everyone is struggling to get by and Trump's bragging about how rich he's getting while serving as president and how rich his family is getting while serving as president.
Sam TripoliHOST
destroyed
Dylan WrennHOST
isn't he gay this guy is calling uh a kind of so star wars is just like carbon copy of joseph campbell like love letter so calling that gay is just one of the dumbest using gay in this way saying it as many times as he did offering nothing to the discourse of any this this has to stop and i was listening to ezra klein dude chewbacca pounds
Sam TripoliHOST
puss pounds
Dylan WrennHOST
pounds how Absolutely.
Dylan WrennHOST
He's so horny.
Dylan WrennHOST
But so I was listening to...
Dylan WrennHOST
Ezra Klein was talking to this political strategist ahead of the midterms.
Dylan WrennHOST
He was talking about one of the things that the followers of Trump get wrong is that they can't move like him.
Sarah LongwellHOST
And we saw some wild swings in the electorate from 2024 to 2026.
Sarah LongwellHOST
So is the country just like more up for grabs than it used to be? Is it Ezra Klein's like why we're polarized? Are we breaking out of that cycle now? Yeah, go ahead.
Nate SilverGUEST
I think a little bit.
Nate SilverGUEST
Look, you could have, maybe if Democrats win in 2028, you could have a GOP landslide in 2032, right? Maybe Democrats would take that bargain, right? You win 2028 and whatever happens in 2030, right? In 2032, you have, yeah, I mean, Scott Colombe in Mississippi probably would be vulnerable in 2032 in a non-D plus 13 environment and things like that.
Patrick BoyleHOST
Last year, the big headline was that the top 1% own almost half of the world's wealth, while the poorest half of the world own just 0.75% of it.
Patrick BoyleHOST
The report is designed to grab your attention, and it does that very well, but the statistics that they use are deeply flawed, as has been pointed out for years by journalists like Felix Salmon, Ezra Klein, Chris Giles and many more.
Patrick BoyleHOST
If you look closely at the charts that Oxfam provide, which are based on Credit Suisse data, you'll notice that the bottom 10% of the global wealth distribution contains a surprising number of North Americans and Europeans, and that the next 10% contains hardly any.
Patrick BoyleHOST
On top of that, China appears to have no people whatsoever in the bottom 10% and the vast majority of Chinese people are in the top half of the global wealth distribution.
Alexander HammerliHOST
Basically, she's 36, right? I'm 34, right? And also odds are against her for a lot of reasons.
Alexander HammerliHOST
No House member has ever been elected president, but Senate members have, right? Which is why I think AOC is going to run for Senate, right? AOC would destroy fucking Dan Goldman in that primary or Ezra Klein, whoever's going to run on the Democratic side.
Alexander HammerliHOST
And he would blow, she would blow the fuck out of Mike Lawler or Elise Stefanik or whoever the fuck is going to be on the Republican side, okay? That's in what I believe is going to be a President Ossoff in two years.
Alexander HammerliHOST
Now, it's funny because if we said this three years ago, right after the 24th election, we've been like, I guess it has to be Gavin Newsom because he fights or me, right? I want to run for president, but now I don't have to because it seems intelligent.
Greg CroftonHOST
he's like, I don't hear anything.
Greg CroftonHOST
I'm too busy listening to Ezra Klein
Chris CroftonHOST
talking about abundance.
Greg CroftonHOST
So that's – I wish he
Greg CroftonHOST
like the buffoonery of
Chris CroftonHOST
Ezra Klein.
Chris CroftonHOST
Well, yeah.
Chris CroftonHOST
I mean these people circle the wagons around their people.
Jon FavreauHOST
It's the best way to support the show.
Jon FavreauHOST
You told Ezra Klein that you liked the idea of combining Obama's we with Bernie's them, you know, a sense that we all belong in this country and sort of a much clearer argument about who's making life harder.
Jon FavreauHOST
I like that.
Jon FavreauHOST
No surprise there.
Daniel BaderHOST
You see a lot of people...
Daniel BaderHOST
Ezra Klein, I guess, is a prototypical example in the New York Times where he'll write an essay... and adapt it into a video, or he'll do a video and then adapt it into an essay.
Daniel BaderHOST
But he'll do both and do both every time because there's a very different audience on the New York Times website or app than there is on YouTube.
Daniel BaderHOST
And I can't tell you how many times I've read a transcript.
