Please make this happen again! Jake does a great job of keeping you guys in check while keeping the conversation super interesting and substantive - I mean this in the most loving way fellas :)
That's EXACTLY what it was. Wolf's humor was targeting Huckabee's personality traits that manifest in her ideological leanings. It was totally on point.
Loved seeing Jake Tapper on Pod Save America with the guys. Conversation was lively and interesting. Well done guys interesting serious politics with a laugh
rose, why come on a political chat and make sexist girly comments like that. if you want people to appreciate your intellect, maybe you might reconsider your posts. if you want us to appreciate your feminine sexuality, you can go ahead and email all the men in the thread a few naked pics and we can discuss the merits of your triceps.
One of the best pods ever. Loved it. Especially going over the old rivalry in Obama era. Really entertaining funny and insightful in light of current climate. Makes me wish Jon Lovett and Sorkin Newsnight tv program was still going strong!! Can u imagine the behind scenes at news desks now?!!
They make a lot of great points but I still disagree about the comments about the Sarah H. jokes being mainly about her looks. Do any of them watch the Handmaid's tale? Even if there is some resemblance in appearance, the comments on the Handmaid's tale was far more related to her behavior as a spokesperson for Trump. It'sbased on a very misogynistic society where women essentially have no rights and Aunt Lydia is a strong believer of the new system. She also carries a lot of power and is one of the strongest (and scariest) enforcers of these new laws against women. I thought the comparison with Aunt Lydia was brilliant (and hilarious). It's just odd for people to focus on her looks when the biggest criticism was about her behavior. I guess if there wasn't some resemblance, the joke wouldn't work as well but the joke was definitely not meant to insult her looks.
Also, the idea that comparing them physically was a horrible insult to Sander's is its self a HUGE insult to Ann Dowd. Since when did we all come to the agreement that Ann Dowd is hideous, and being compared to her would be terrible.
I'd like to see Jake come back and all of them review this episode. See if they've changed their minds. What their perspective is now. Knowing what we know now about Trump and the shite he's pulled... it'd be interesting to hear their views on what they thought then versus now.
A good interview. Amusing to see you all dancing around the fact that capitalism is the reason people are left behind. The fundamental structures of the system are geared toward the consolidation of wealth in the hands of a minority, and include incentives for ever reducing wages, leisure time, and social relationships and ever increasing production, consumption, and debt.
I haven't played the interview yet, but 7 of 15 suggested next videos are about Wolf and her mean girl digs at HuckaSanderz & Trump. Meanwhile, Trump makes a dismissive racist joke about Hispanics being absent from his rally and there's no mention of it. What's wrong with this picture?
This is dumb. Saying that someone has a smoky eye is offensive??? And the whole turning her lies into a smoky eye- wtf? It’s just a joke. Get a grip. I’m a feminist, and I think this is ridiculous.
The camera angles were distracting. Just zoom out to include everyone on the frame....and that's it! I like look at the interviewee's reaction in their faces while the interviewers were talking, and vice versa. Great interview, though. Love Tapper.
Love you guys, listen to all of your pods. Not quite a boomer but I am an older Gen X so I’m gonna preach a little. Lovett, with all of your self deprecating commentary about food impulses, just start with eliminating the F***ing Diet Coke!!! Is there a more insidious oxymoron?
Becca Josephine that is also a skill. For any other profession - despicable one, but for demagogues - just the right one. 🙄 Would some tv have balls to showcase side to side Trump rallies and one particular person's, with very recognizable mustache, speeches? After Michigan, I am not even exaggerating much... 😶
Russ Simon it could be less focused on the race of the immigrant, but more focused on the economic and societal impacts of an influx of immigrants (more competition for jobs, burden on the safety net, etc.)
Umm what? Jobs, the economy, schools, burden on social weal fair, ect, ect. The US is a sovereign country. Why dose everything need to be about race you can object to policies and not be racist despite what some activist groups want you to believe.
Except the only foreigners they seem to object to are the ones who aren't white which is why anti-immigrant behavior seems to be another form of racism.
Anti-immigrant sentiment is not racist on by itself, however if you look historically it has been linked with racist attitudes towards the immigrants (although not always). So it is very important for us to be clear on this issue. Yes, it is a dog-whistle for today's right when they talk about immigration (really they mean, no muslims and Mexicans), but the term on itself is not racist. Immigration sentiments in a population are closely related with economics and culture rather than race.
It's interesting looking back on this podcast everyone struggling to explain the now famous projecting and false equivalency of conservatives that we've now neatly captured with the word whataboutism.
I always tow party line and give my honest opinion. However my views will always be informed by reading from multiple sources and what I have seen and felt. That's all there is to me. I'm that simple
Interesting to go back and watch that. I would say the problem with trade is that while it is good for the economy as a whole, the gains go disproportionately to those who are already wealthy. All of the gains go to the people who have the money to invest in the stock market or in factories in China.
Democrats should focus more on more ambitious idea that can reach out to the working class and the reasonable but not too much greedy people interested in a living together society, not a winner takes it all society, like reducing the widening income inequality, government-guaranteed full employment, single-payer health care, free education, progressive tax on wealth, etc.
Which is the exact same thing as my original answer. Conservative propaganda lambasted her over the nothing burger of her emails. It was a total distraction from any actual content.
Had nothing to do with the emails. Hillary was an unlikable candidate running a bad campaign, happy to use smear tactics and her team was filled with psychopaths (Daou, Watson, Brock, Reines, Bill Clinton, Parkhomenko and many more). That doesn't mean at all that Trump wasn't shit, but Hillary was toxic from the beginning.
So ask yourself if the average American even knows who those people are other than Bill Clinton. And the answer is no. So you have to come up with the reason the people themselves say was important to them and it was the email. The other element was that the media spent more time on Hillary's emails than any other topic at all. So we revert back to my original answer. Conservative propaganda is what made her toxic
And it is completely sexist to complain about that and never mention Mitch McConnell and his "Circumsized Neck". That is about looks. Women aren't above comedy or parody.
Dylan Thomas they are allergic to Bernie. He would have been the Obama that Obama was supposed to be (I.e. the transformative candidate) and on this podcast you are not allowed to consider Obama as anything but an almost messiah-like figure
Harsha Mahtani Makes sense as long as JD or Progressive candidates get voted in the midterms!! I thought one or two of the POD worked on the Bernie campaign they did state on a Norwegian talk show?? Must be mistaken!!
Dylan Thomas sadly not surprising at all. There are 2 main parties in the US: there's a very conservative party - and then there's the Republican party!!
Can't believe I haven't seen this episode yet! What a treat to have Jake Tapper on Pod Save America.
Please make this happen again! Jake does a great job of keeping you guys in check while keeping the conversation super interesting and substantive - I mean this in the most loving way fellas :)
I didn't interpret Michelle's jokes as commentary on Sarah's physical behavior but her CHARACTER.
jjamerican93 Exactly!
Because your brain works !
That’s Because you actually got the jokes lol
That's EXACTLY what it was. Wolf's humor was targeting Huckabee's personality traits that manifest in her ideological leanings. It was totally on point.
and the "smokey eye"?
it seems peoe quit there.
she said it was the
" ash from all the truth" Hucksterbee burned up
Loved seeing Jake Tapper on Pod Save America with the guys. Conversation was lively and interesting. Well done guys interesting serious politics with a laugh
Omg, I love this! A table full of intelligence. I love Jake Tapper. I may also have a small crush on him 😊
Who doesn't?
I'm so glad you guys uploaded this! I love Jake Tapper
Crazy watching this in hindsight with Biden as the president elect thanks to PA!
I love the format of this in particular. Kudos to the live stream crew!
follow both teams..... great to see them connect, America needs you all
I know he's married but I can't stop looking at Favreau's triceps.
Rose S amen
Me too 🤗😍
GIRL.

John Doe went from 0 to 100 real fast
Awesome! Love you guys still and love Jake Tapper!

I enjoy a bit of J Tap. Nice work

Not ashamed to admit I knew nothing of Jake Tapper during the Obama era
You didn't miss much.
I'd like to see Jake come back and all of them review this episode. See if they've changed their minds. What their perspective is now.
Knowing what we know now about Trump and the shite he's pulled... it'd be interesting to hear their views on what they thought then versus now.
Great discussion, Jake Tapper mirroring Faveau's body language was interesting too, must have felt comfortable.
Trump's concerned with decency???? Oh you're kidding me.
A good interview. Amusing to see you all dancing around the fact that capitalism is the reason people are left behind. The fundamental structures of the system are geared toward the consolidation of wealth in the hands of a minority, and include incentives for ever reducing wages, leisure time, and social relationships and ever increasing production, consumption, and debt.

Lovett is a wuss. He cries and complains whenever he doesn't get his way.
@@cameroncrazie818 🙄😏
Trump has political skills??? You mean spewing out hatred?
Becca Josephine that is also a skill. For any other profession - despicable one, but for demagogues - just the right one. 🙄
Would some tv have balls to showcase side to side Trump rallies and one particular person's, with very recognizable mustache, speeches?
After Michigan, I am not even exaggerating much... 😶
How is anti-immigrant sentiment not racist?
Russ Simon it could be less focused on the race of the immigrant, but more focused on the economic and societal impacts of an influx of immigrants (more competition for jobs, burden on the safety net, etc.)
Umm what? Jobs, the economy, schools, burden on social weal fair, ect, ect. The US is a sovereign country. Why dose everything need to be about race you can object to policies and not be racist despite what some activist groups want you to believe.
It's not racist if you don't know it's code for 'keep the brown people out'.
Except the only foreigners they seem to object to are the ones who aren't white which is why anti-immigrant behavior seems to be another form of racism.
Anti-immigrant sentiment is not racist on by itself, however if you look historically it has been linked with racist attitudes towards the immigrants (although not always).

Jake Tapper just said the word "pussy!" My life is complete!
Jake is so wrong about Clinton’s comment on race in India. I’m happy they challenged him but they were to soft in doing so. Ofc it was racial.
I like this.
Michele wolf was NOT making fun of Sanders looks. Says alot about you guys that you think she was
You guys have Pint Glasses????? Whaaaaaa? Must. Get. Now. ! :D
Jake!
Dems needs to concentrate to platform FOR something, not just AGAINST. Cause when you win the fight, eventually, what FOR do you live?
I don't care if people make fun of looks. It's funny. Get over it conservative snowflakes. There is no bottom to the depths of conservative hypocrisy
It's interesting looking back on this podcast everyone struggling to explain the now famous projecting and false equivalency of conservatives that we've now neatly captured with the word whataboutism.

Thunderdome?? So, who’s the Master and who’s the Blaster??
First off the correspondence dinner didn’t break America...yeah blame it on the half black chick...
Michelle Wolf is white.
Ah, another Elizabeth Warren/Kamala Harris/Cory Booker cult follower that is anal about identity politics.
Is the camera moving or am I too high?
Lil_legend it’s moving boo
Democrats should focus more on more ambitious idea that can reach out to the working class and the reasonable but not too much greedy people interested in a living together society, not a winner takes it all society, like reducing the widening income inequality, government-guaranteed full employment, single-payer health care, free education, progressive tax on wealth, etc.
Q - How did people vote for Obama twice and then switch to Trump?
A - Conservative Propaganda can help explain that pattern
A - Hillary was on the ballot.
Which is the exact same thing as my original answer. Conservative propaganda lambasted her over the nothing burger of her emails. It was a total distraction from any actual content.
Had nothing to do with the emails. Hillary was an unlikable candidate running a bad campaign, happy to use smear tactics and her team was filled with psychopaths (Daou, Watson, Brock, Reines, Bill Clinton, Parkhomenko and many more).

can you repeat this in 2020?
Jake seems a little snakey imo : | : |
Is it just me or do these guys sound like they’re having funeral conversation? I miss Obama too.
Who kept messing around and zooming in and out.
And it is completely sexist to complain about that and never mention Mitch McConnell and his "Circumsized Neck". That is about looks. Women aren't above comedy or parody.
I think Jake means racist when he says "mean"......stiffen up that spine buddy!
B
Can we all agree that Hillary was just a terrible candidate. She ain’t got it.
Why don't they talk about Burnie!!! If he was the Dem candidate instead HRC he would have won in states and counties that HRC lost to Trump!!!
Dylan Thomas they are allergic to Bernie. He would have been the Obama that Obama was supposed to be (I.e. the transformative candidate) and on this podcast you are not allowed to consider Obama as anything but an almost messiah-like figure
Harsha Mahtani Makes sense as long as JD or Progressive candidates get voted in the midterms!! I thought one or two of the POD worked on the Bernie campaign they did state on a Norwegian talk show?? Must be mistaken!!
Dylan Thomas no they have not worked with Bernie. They r pretty dismissive of him. They always do everything they can to pretend that he doesn't exist
Harsha Mahtani Shame! Have u seen the new lawyer 45 is hiring?? He represented Bill & Hillary as well as Cheney & W.
Dylan Thomas sadly not surprising at all. There are 2 main parties in the US: there's a very conservative party - and then there's the Republican party!!
The camera work. 5 yrs on. Lol.
