On the 50th anniversary of George Will's tenure at The Washington Post, George joins Tim to discuss the power of criticizing presidents and saying what you think. Plus, Tim reads from the mailbag and serves up some advice for dealing with Trump-supporting relatives at the Thanksgiving table.

The Gist - Congressman Seth Moulton

We're joined by Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton, who discusses how democrats should engage on important but sensitive issues like trans women in sport. Also discussed: Moulton's conversation with incoming member of congress Sarah McBride, his opposition to Nancy Mace's rules focusing on bathrooms, and what the rest of the Massachusetts Democratic establishment is saying to him ... or, in the case of the chairman, not saying, because he still won't take Moulton's calls. Plus, a Spiel on the Republican overreach on LGBTQ issues, and where the gay rights movement finds itself stuck. Also, the Surgeon General designee runs Mike's doctor shop.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - The ‘Ceasefire’ Fetish

According to Israel, it is agreeing to a ceasefire with Hezbollah in large measure to stave off an American assault in the UN on Israel's efforts in Lebanon. We discuss what this reminds us of, why it's outrageous if indeed this is the case, and whether Israel can find a way to benefit from the pause. Also, hijinks with tariffs and fights on the patio at Mar-A-Lago! Give a listen.
