President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday to discuss developments in the latest round of cease-fire talks. The White House says Biden also “reiterated his clear position” against Israel’s planned invasion of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have taken refuge since the start of the war in Gaza. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken headed back to the Middle East on Sunday ahead of meetings with Arab leaders this week.

And in headlines: Pro-Palestine protesters and counter-protesters supporting Israel clashed on UCLA’s campus Sunday morning, Biden roasted former President Donald Trump at Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner, and Republican vice presidential hopeful and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem writes about killing a puppy in her upcoming memoir.

Episode 1028

Can a former President of the United States be prosecuted for trying to overturn a democratic election? The Supreme Court just spent two hours and forty minutes (!) hearing a case in which they were supposed to be reviewing this simple question and Donald Trump’s claims of total immunity. We review the last oral argument of this term and try to cut through the bad faith, irrelevance, and misdirection to understand what is actually happening here and where it all might be going.

• DC Trump indictment (8/1/23)

• Government’s brief in Trump v. U.S

• Trump’s brief in Trump v. U.S.

• CSPAN’S complete bookmarked SCOTUS oral arguments in Trump v. U.S. (4/25/24)

Today, we're going full nerd to talk about a new board game — Catan: New Energies. The game's goal is simple: Build and develop a modern-day island without catastrophically polluting it. Although the concept mirrors the effects of climate change, those words don't actually appear in the game. NPR correspondent Nate Rott talks to Emily about the thinking behind the new game and how the developers hope it can start conversations around energy use and pollution.

The left-wing Arabella Advisors network has raked in more money than either of the two major political parties and affects almost every element of public policy and elections, argues Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center, a Washington-based investigative think tank. 

Walter's new book “Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming America” shows that in the 2020 election cycle, Arabella Advisors' nonprofits took in $2.4 billion. That's $1 billion more than the combined fundraising of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee. 

That amount rose to $3 billion in the 2022 election cycle, Walter says. Moreover, he adds, nothing on the Right comes close to competing. 

Listen to Walter outline Arabella's reach in a discussion of his book on today's podcast.

Tractor Supply, the publicly-traded farm store, sells live chickens and is enjoying a record high stock price — And it’s winning because Millennials are migrating from the city to the country (still).

Google and Microsoft are $2 trillion and $3 trillion companies because they’re winning in Artificial Intelligence — For every other company, AI is corporate Ozempic.

And Whirlpool is pivoting from washing machines to coffee and espresso machines — Because all the major macro trends are turning you into a Bougie Barista.
