Description

Andrew, Tom and Carl discuss reporting by Jane Meyer in The New Yorker on Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s tenure running two non-profit organizations, which includes allegations of drinking, sexism and poor management. They then discuss reporting by Sohrab Ahamri in Compact Magazine that rebuts The New Yorker’s claims. Plus, they have a look at Kevin Dowd’s guest column in the Sunday edition of The New York Times. They also talk about President Biden’s trip to Angola where he talked about slavery, and Donald Trump’s plans to attend this weekend’s celebration of the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, where he will join more than 50 other world leaders. Next, Carl discusses Hunter Biden’s history with one of his former classmates, RCP contributor and CEO of Rootz.ai, Eric Spitz. Then finally, Andrew talks to James S. Robbins, Academic Dean of the Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC about the war in Syria and how Donald Trump’s Middle East policy will differ from that of Joe Biden's.
