President Biden stays on the offensive, calling into his favorite morning show to excoriate the naysayers, rallying support among old allies, and vowing to everyone who will listen that he’s staying the race no matter what. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy lay out President Biden’s strategy and size up whether it’s working so far. And as the fight over Biden’s future moves to Capitol Hill, Lovett talks with Rep. Ro Khanna—a key Biden surrogate—about which way House members will go, and what Biden could be doing better.

We’re joined by Ryan Grim & Jeremy Scahill of the NEW independent journalism venture Drop Site News. We look at how the Biden campaign meltdown has pushed the war in Palestine out of the news, and the relationship between Biden’s long history of bad policies and the current crises he’s leading. Plus, mainstream media’s failed coverage of both topics, and some Drop Site reporting on Democratic megadonors gives a glimpse into Joe Biden’s aggrieved and petty motivations.

In the ​latest installment of the ongoing interview series with contributing editor Mark Bauerlein, Rusty Reno joins in to discuss his piece in the August/September issue of First Things, “Pride Month,” as well as Matthew Schmitz's recent piece, “The Fall of Pride.” Music by Jack Bauerlein.

We're back from break to discuss one of the craziest weeks ever in American politics as we try to restrain ourselves from expressing the glee of watching the Bidenites and their camp followers—and sudden enemies—figure their way out of this nightmare they've entered into since the debate. Give a listen.

Raimondo, which ended Chevron deference and hobbled the authority of administrative agencies, and the Trump immunity case. What emerges, however, is a debate about what the left should do to address the ultra-conservative court and whether Biden is ultimately to blame for his unwillingness to take court reform seriously while Democrats controlled the House and Senate. Yet another spicy-yet-constructive debate for the books.   Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.
