We recorded this on Election Day 2025, and Jason is FIRED UP about Ezra Klein’s latest essay on how we beat Trump! He goes off on a cogent screed on what Ezra is getting wrong as we start the march to 2026 and 2028. Then, we’re joined by one of the stars of our voicemail segment, our very own Truthsayer, Birria! We discuss Wes Anderson’s breakthrough hit, shot at the very prep school where Birria (and Wes Anderson himself!) went to high school, Rushmore.
