Episode 65 opens with a critical look at Kamala Harris’s memoir 107 Days, chronicling her rapid rise to the top of the Democratic ticket after President Biden’s sudden withdrawal in 2024. The hosts explore Harris’s account of internal party dysfunction, billion-dollar campaign spending, and her controversial decision to pass over Pete Buttigieg for VP—a move that reignited debates over identity politics and strategic leadership. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Thom Hartmann, bestselling progressive talk show host and author of The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink (2025), who delivers a searing analysis of Donald Trump’s rise and the systemic failures that enabled it.
