David Waldman posits a few questions on today’s show. Questions for which careful, or even casual listeners of KITM might know the answer. For instance, what do you have to lose from taking Hydroxychloroquine? Ok, that was an easy one. What about that January 6 riot at the Capitol, bad thing or no? And, Donald Trump… Insurrectionist, or treasonous bastard? Right, again! The questions get tougher from here on out. Trump received at least $7.8M in payments from foreign governments as president. That

Where’d we go? Sleepyhead David Waldman clocked in late yesterday and Greg Dworkin’s Raft O’ Stories went adrift. The good news is, David’s back on schedule, and Greg has a XL boatload of polls and punditry for us today. About those polls… Half of the world will be going to some sort of poll this year. So, a million polling prognosticators are out there with differing methodologies and rates of success. All of them had better make certain that they are paid upfront, and take their phone

Don’t anyone go accusing me of sleeping on the job! I do the job after I sleep! Even if I choose to do my sleeping during, you know, the time when most people anticipate that I’ll be doing my job. So, that happened. But then I decided I’d better read and discuss at least an hour’s worth of material today, or we’ll start falling behind. Over in Ivy League Land, where people are used to falling behind if they don’t do their reading, we have the unfortunate case of Harvard President Claudine Gay

2024! Are you still writing “2023” on your checks? (btw, what is a “check”?) David Waldman, finally able to wear his two-button shorts on the air without copyright infringement, delivers possibly the least teeth-gnashing news day of the year. Bridget Ziegler, the anti-LGBTQ mom recorded in three-ways, is so “last year”. Let’s welcome Clarice Schillinger, the pro-COVID, anti-public school, woke-battling mom, charged with running underage drinking parties and fist fighting teens. The United Arab

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin wish you all a happy LAST year! (Because we're re-running our Jan. 2, 2023 episode!) It’s not a prediction per se, but a nice objective. 2023 won’t be a good year to avoid gun deaths. New Year's Eve parties featured the usual accidental shooting deaths, and related casualties and injuries. Not universally beloved Pope Benedict’s death might just reshape the Catholic Church, or maybe not. Congress votes for a new speaker of the House tomorrow

That’s it. We’ve officially run out of holidays to take off this year. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have returned for the second day in a row. Nikki Haley wasn’t about to get caught with a trick question on the cause of the Civil War. It was, however, a simple question that Nikki thought needed a trick answer. Surprised by someone who could so easily raise more than her, Lauren Boebert is working to not risk losing her grip on power without getting another handhold first. 10 inches of secret

We’re back! Greg Dworkin was rarin’ to go, rounding up happenings from the extended holiday weekend. That included a reminder that while polling a year out from the election is often worthless, it’s perhaps valuable to ask people whether a criminal conviction would change their minds about voting for Trump. So, someone did. I don’t know if you’ve heard this, but the economy is doing a lot better than the so-called experts said it would be. But so-called experts get a lot of things wrong. For

Travel day! We'll be back live for Eastern Orthodox Boxing Day. But for now, please enjoy this look back in our short-hop time machine! Today, David Waldman presented a limited edition KITM, offered live only to a select audience in his kitchen this morning, but now publicly available at an amazingly low price! Are Rooibos and Yerba Mate teas any good? One way to find out. Just Security sums up the January 6th Select Committee’s final report, and The Bulwark focuses on the Trump coup’s fake elector

Our Boxing Day '22 show fills in for VI Kal. Ianiuarius. KITM gave the staff the whole day off for Christmas this year, allowing us to be here all the earlier next morning for Boxing Day! The first rule of Boxing Day is you do not sing Boxing Day carols. Instead, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin of course croon only the best Christmas songs written by Jewish men, (All of them.) including that anti-nuclear annihilation ditty, “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, and the Ukrainian export, “Carol of the Bells”.

Today might not be the holly-est nor jolliest, but it sure is beginning to feel a lot like the weekend. David Waldman helps us to constructively fill two more hours before we can open presents. Yesterday, Donald Trump said that he was not a crook, assuring no one on earth, although Donald did knock off one more day of being not held responsible until he can hide in a casket, which has been his sole ambition for over 70 years. The 14th amendment is not the “magical cure-all” that finishes Trump once

And, lo, David Waldman brings us good tidings of great joy, and Greg Dworkin with his Thursday Raft o’ Stories and Boatload of Punditry and Polls™. Amdt14.S3.1 is getting coverage like Luke 2:8-14 this week. SCOTUS will need more than originalism to excuse the decision 6 of them would really wish to be making. Gops would prefer that the Supreme Court would keep its nose out of Constitutional matters, and yet this case just might be the enema they’ve all needed for the last 8 years. On the other

Great news! Greg Dworkin floated by this morning on his raft o’ stories, and managed to regale us with the latest news until we lost sight of him about a half hour later... Excellent news! The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump is ineligible to run for president. David Waldman wasn’t that sure he could do a whole show on the subject, but he underestimates himself. The folks who normally hold the Constitution as gospel and vice versa, and who also remind us that the US isn’t a

On the KITM Holiday Countdown we’re running out of holidays to count down. As it is Tuesday, we did count down the minutes till David Waldman welcomed Joan McCarter, but didn’t expect her to bring many glad tidings. The Gop has no Christmas joy to send Ukraine. Germany will be permanently deploying troops for the first time since World War II. Leonard Leo will make sure Supreme Court stockings are overflowing this year, as he has in years before. Clarence Thomas will continue to ho-ho-ho for

Some of you might be taking the holiday off today, but not David Waldman, and not us at KITM World Headquarters. Greg Dworkin might be lost in the Connecticut outback without his mukluks, or he might be just sleeping in, we aren’t sure. Rudy Colludy Giuliani was ordered to pay $148 million in damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he had defamed. Giuliani will spend the next weeks defaming them some more, which gives him something to do while waiting for his criminal cases to begin. Rudy will

David Waldman enters his “Friday Era” today, which counting inclusively from the Ides, would fall upon the... well, depending on the Augustus or Sextilis derivation, would… heck, politics does complicate everything, including us getting to the weekend. Sometimes things aren’t so complicated. CNN reports that a collection of raw Russian intelligence disappeared under Donald Trump, which is exactly where most would predict it would disappear. Donald lost a full 10 inches of highly classified

David Waldman welcomes us to this week’s Penultimate KITM Special, which features this week’s ultimate Greg Dworkin appearance, and you can’t beat that. Jack Smith’s bold interlocutory appeal, which hopefully is the interdigitary case to finally cut through Donald Trump’s interstitial bullshit, seems a huge play but is a good bet. The Dow is surging with the Joementum of Bidenomics. Is Jerome Powell’s Fed pulling off a soft landing? Stock and Bond markets sure think so. Remember, never give your

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin round up the election news, the court news, and everything in between. The Supreme Court will hear a challenge to an obstruction law used on January 6th insurrectionists. It all depends on what their definition of corruption, is. Special counsel Jack Smith made a gutsy move to ask the Supreme Court to decide whether Donald Trump has absolute immunity before he spends any more time prosecuting him. It seems like a simple decision, but the Supremes could make it pretty

David Waldman never does anything halfway. Except for today. Today David is “out”, but only halfway, leaving a brand-new, recorded live, special 1-hour KITM : Donald Trump’s plan for the last 50 years has been to postpone justice for his actions until he’s dead. So far, so good, I guess, but it would be nice if someone could find a way to hurry him along. Jack Smith just might have come up with a way to short-circuit Trump’s endless postponements of his March 4 criminal trial. On

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin continue our KITM Holiday Countdown. We’re halfway through one, and have only a few more to go this year! Remember Alex Jones? Yeah, he’s back on whatever Twitter is now. Can we not attend to that crap over there anymore? I will move as many links as I can to Threads or Blue Sky, but if I can’t I will try to give you a heads up, like for this one. Anyhow, we have too much other crap to deal with. Donald Trump is blowing away his primary competition, while Joe Biden
