John and Justin host Mother Jones' Kat Abu to discuss political social media, the DNC, state of the Harris-Walz campaign and its approach to Israel-Palestine.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention came to Chicago amid a series of strange parallels to the 1968 convention in the same city: the incumbent president withdrew from his reelection campaign, the vice president was nominated without running in the primaries, students organized a national protest movement against a war, a major candidate was shot, someone named Robert F. Kennedy was running for president.
Justin and John sit down with Michael Koncewicz, a historian at New York University, to discuss these overlaps. Michael is currently working on a biography of Tom Hayden, the anti-war activist who stood trial as one of the "Chicago 7" blamed for violence at the 1968 convention.
Justin and John sit down with journalist David Corn, Washington Bureau Chief for Mother Jones and author of several books, most recently American Psychosis.

Justin and John discuss the state of the presidential campaign after an incredible month of news: the Republican convention, an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, JD Vance becoming Trump's running mate, Joe Biden's retirement, and Kamala Harris's ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket.
In particular, they review the choice of Governor Tim Walz to run for vice president. Harris chose Walz ahead of Governor Josh Shapiro, who many pundits favored.
