Episode 24: Scandal

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.

And Josh explains why people of every background and faith will benefit from those who, like him, sign the Jewish Future Promise. For the first 400 people who sign via this unique link, the organization will make a contribution to the show.
