Summary
Randy Rainbow's "Demented" opens the show today, and it's a fitting soundtrack for a day where Trump referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and mixed up Zelensky for Putin at a NATO press conference — audio included. Driftglass joins me for our Wednesday get-together, which wanders from the collapsed Iran ceasefire into a long, honest look back at the 1976 Bicentennial, growing up during Vietnam, and how differently college and careers worked back then versus now. We wrap up with this year's Emmy nominations, plus a few words about a soap opera that just might have a Daytime Emmy nod coming its way next year, and close things out with some thoughts on David Brooks' new Atlantic column and where that leaves those of us in the progressive movement right now.
