Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are trying desperately to get the media to declare something -- anything -- involving Kamala Harris and Tim Walz a “scandal.” Today, Josh shows how transparent the effort is, with one of them even trying twice in a single televised interview. Will the media fall for it, as it did in 2016 with Hillary Clinton’s emails? Josh invites listeners to come up with an acronym for Trump's scandals, which may need to be as long as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Meanwhile, a scandal at the world’s largest broadcaster. A new study shows the extent of the BBC’s institutional, antisemitic bias against Israel. Josh speaks with the man who oversaw the research, which involved a massive amount of reporting and both human and A.I. analyses.
Plus, an announcement. Josh is going on the road together with a pivotal figure in U.S. history: America’s first Black spymaster in the CIA! His story was secret until now.
