Chapo Trap House - 852 – Do the Dew feat. Hasan Piker (7/23/24)

We’re joined by streamer Hasan Piker for an honestly unprecedented news round-up. Joe Biden is OUT of the Presidential race (and possibly dead??), and Kamala Harris is now the presumptive nominee. Mere days after avoiding getting his head blown off by millimeters, it appears Donald Trump has LOST the mandate of heaven. And Trump’s VP pick, as recently as last week a symbolic football-spike in a race presumed already won, is rapidly deflating when put in front of real people. All that plus Lord of the Rings and Aarons Sorkin reading series inside! Watch Hasan daily on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/hasanabi Merch restocked at https://chapotraphouse.store/

Amarica's Constitution - Virtuous Presidents and A Loose Cannon – guest Vikram Amar

Resignations are in the air, and our discussion - recorded before President Biden’s actions - offers surprising resonances in its wake.  Meanwhile, our guest, Professor Vik Amar, provides not just a condemnation of Judge Cannon’s recent dismissal of the Trump documents case, but a refutation of the arguments she made, and a recitation of those crucial points, cases, and reasonings which she ignored.  Plus we finally have the details on the EverScholar announcements we have been teasing; 18 year terms are back in the news; and more.  We will be back, possibly early this week depending on developments, with a special episode on President Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race.

1A - Rings And Things: Fashion’s Impact On Olympian Performance

This week, the fashion capital of the world becomes the sporting capital of the world with the Summer Olympics kicking off in Paris, France.

The world's best athletes will be outfitted in premiere designs which not only make them look good, but also help them compete at the highest levels possible. Name brand sponsors dress the Games and the players head to toe.

Louis Vuitton designed special trunks to carry the medals. Rihanna's Fenty Beauty created a designated makeup look for volunteers. Even the underwear athletes wear is provided to them – by Kim Kardashian's company Skims.

When Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky dives into the pool, she'll be wearing a suit from apparel brand TYR, with lab-tested technology to make her glide as smoothly as possible.

We discuss how what athletes wear affects their performance.

Consider This from NPR - Kamala Harris is used to firsts. But can she be the first female president?

If Kamala Harris officially becomes the Democratic presidential nominee next month, she'll be the first woman of color to lead a major party's ticket.

Of course, that would not be her first, first.

Harris's entire career is a list of jobs that nobody who looks quite like her had held before, including California's attorney general, Senator, and Vice President of the United States.

Harris often stresses that while she may be a first, others paved the way.

Kamala Harris has had a career full of firsts – could she also be the first woman to become President of the United States?
