Tara Setmayer

This is what that gets you, a team of mediocrities, a breeding ground for corruption, a country in crisis, and an all-time low approval rating for Donald Trump's White House reality show.

Tara Setmayer is a former Republican congressional communications director, co-founder and CEO of the Seneca Project.

Michelle Goldberg is an opinion columnist for The New York Times, and they join me now.

Well, Tara, um, [laughs] I think one of the best details here is that he, she, Zachariah interviewed for the job.

I mean, she was pretty out there.

So you know, um, I, like I said, God help us with who these people are replaced with.

Tara Setmayer and Michelle Goldberg, thank you both.

Thank you.

Before I go, I want to tell you about an event I'm hosting on Thursday the 5th of November, just two days after the midterm elections.

I'll be joined by friends of the podcast, David Smith and Tara Setmayer, as well as by The Guardian's global editor, Devika Bhat, and professor of American history, Adam Smith.

We'll be looking ahead to America's future after we know who the big winners and losers of the midterms turn out to be.

There'll be a link to where you can get tickets for the event in person and online in the show notes of today's episode.

This one involving a state James Tallarico says he's never been to.

Live at the table, Tara Setmeyer, Noah Rothman, Ravi Gupta, Peter Meyer, and Jemele Hill.

Americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other, but here they do.

Good evening.

Yeah, there's a lot of people who are willing to...

That's a whole lot of proof for Mitch McConnell.

I'm just curious, Tara, because a lot of people who are partisan are willing to suspend disbelief in order to believe crazy narratives that confirm

their bias.

Now, that said, I mean, look, if it's ultimately live streamed, I'm not gonna be watching it.

OutFront now, former Democratic Congressman Max Rose and Tara Setmayer.

I appreciate both of you.

So Max, President Trump said today, it was a very explicit question.

You have to treat the office of the presidency with respect.

Live at the table, Tara Setmayer, Jesse Arm, Chuck Rocha, Peter Meyer, and Ana Navarro.

Americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other, but here they do.

[upbeat music] Good evening.
