The Viral President

The news cycle these days is crushing -- warping time upon itself like a black hole. So how does America's Most Balanced Podcast® respond? By booking a third guest, of course. On today's lineup, we've got Casey Mattox;the Vice President for Legal and Judicial Strategy at Americans for Prosperity, a group dedicated to (among other things), getting Amy Coney Barrett through the nomination process. You can help by visiting their website UniteForBarrett.com and signing a letter that will be sent to your Senator. Do it! Then, our good friend (and fellow board member) Dr. George Savage stops by to give us an M.D.'s perspective on the President's condition and what his course of treatment might be. Finally, Henry Olsen, he of the Horse Race podcast right here on this network visits and dispenses some punditry on how the President's health may affect his re-election effort. No spoilers here, sorry. Finally, the Lileks Post of The Week is back and it's a doozy: did Harry Truman actually approve the use of the use of the A-Bomb at the end of WWII or did the military just deploy like a new submarine or aircraft? We get into it and then some.
