    Shameful Schumer and the Election

    Another nail in the coffin of Sen. Chuck Schumer's reputation for being a voice for the Jewish community was hammered yesterday by the Free Beacon with an earthquake of a story in which he seeks to bury evidence of anti-Semitism on the Columbia University campus. This leads us into a discussion of, what else, the election. Give a listen.

    Steve Speaks!

    We're joined today by the analyst who made the video screen and the white button down shirt into election-night legends, Steve Kornacki of NBC. Where will he be looking first next Tuesday for evidence of how the night is going to go? How many undecided voters are left? And what about "partisan gravity"? Give a listen.

    Don't Call It a Hate Crime Against a Jew

    A synagogue-goer is shot in Chicago over the weekend and the cops—and the media—seem unable to discern the motive of a gunman who shouted "Allahu Akbar." Why would this be the case? And why is the New York Times trying to talk people into feeling hopeful about Kamala Harris's chances with an article that offers no evidence they should have such hope? Give a listen.

    It's Raining Men

    Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in the final national New York Times poll, which the Times itself says is not good news for Harris. What explains it? How about the possibility that men may have had enough of decades of being belittled by the dominant culture? Give a listen.

    A Ka-meh-la Town Hall

    The vice president spent 90 minutes with CNN last night at a town hall just as polling information was suggesting she is on a downward slope. We evaluate her performance and try to explain why the "Trump as fascist" line of attack doesn't seem to have the oomph the Harris campaign wants. And why the Biden administration is now acting in ways that seem to portend a Russian victory in Ukraine. Give a listen.

    If Harris Wants to Win, She Has to Try

    Kamala Harris seems to have stalled out on her way to Election Day, while Trump is inching upward. The kinds of things she might be hoping will help her—like the manufactured October Surprises from the New York Times and the Atlantic again highlighting bad Trump quotes and supposedly bad Trump behavior—likely won't. So how can she win unless she figures out a way to...win? Plus, a Commentary Podcast Drinking Game! Give a listen.

    Why Harris Can't Close the Sale

    There's never been a race this close, according to the polling, and the question is why. The answers we offer have to do with which candidate is bringing the "joy" (it ain't Harris) and which candidate is throwing around 14 different messages hoping enough will stick with enough swing voters to drag the ticket across the finish line (it ain't Trump). Give a listen.
