Trump's Abortion Gambit Implodes
Dan is joined by Jennifer Palmieri, co-host of MSNBC's How to Win 2024 podcast and a former communications director for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, to discuss the ramifications of Arizona's Supreme Court upholding a 160-year old abortion ban. Then they break down President Biden's interview with Univision reporter Enrique Acevedo and his campaign’s efforts to reach out to Latino voters.

Debating Gaza problem with Mehdi Hasan
I miss hearing or seeing Mehdi Hasan on MSNBC. Thanks for having him on Pod Save America. As a philosophy student & therefore one who debates, I observe Hasan's ability to argue a point as stunning. His understanding of the Middle East is extensive. However, two points are rarely made in the media concerning Israel, which is to say Palestine, & president Biden. The IDF supports Israelites, that is colonists, when they trespass on Palestinian lands. Ancient olive groves are chopped down or uprooted, orange groves & farm animals are stolen or destroyed, homes destroyed or attacked. It is a fact that Biden identified himself as "Zionist" with joy & pride. Finding him saying it is easily found on the internet via YouTube.
Great podcast
I have been listening for many years. Love the show! Would like Jon and Tommy to be less dismissive of Lovett’s opinion.
