Mike Konczal & David Frum

Fri, May 25, 2012
On Fireside Chats, Mike talks to David Frum about his new novel, Patriots. They discuss how American political culture has changed since the 1990s, and how immigration in particular has changed America. Would a Mitt Romney presidency incorporate Paul Ryan's conservative budget? They question whether the Tea Party has been successful, as well as why Democrats have an easier time governing during economic expansion. Why have conservative economic policies moved so far to the right? Mike and David conclude by talking about David's first book, Dead Right, and how his conservatism has changed since the book was published almost two decades ago.

Bill Scher & Matt K. Lewis

Wed, May 23, 2012
On a very special episode of The DMZ, Matt explains why he's happy that he's making fewer TV appearances, and offers some practical advice for young writers. Responding to a commenter's question, Bill and Matt discuss whether they would have the same politics if they lived in a different historical era—would Matt have voted for JFK? Matt weighs the tension between his epistemological modesty and his impulse to seek the good. Bill explains why his temperament leads him toward practical liberalism—and made him a college conservative. They close by discussing Cory Booker, Chris Matthews, and what it means to be a political surrogate.

Wed, May 23, 2012
On The Glenn Show, John explains to Glenn why he objects to the recent firing of Naomi Schaefer Riley from The Chronicle of Higher Education after she wrote a piece attacking black studies. Glenn argues that Riley's piece was offensive and wrong. John recalls his own critical assessment of the field, and he and Glenn discuss what black studies should be. They disagree about the state of Harvard's influential black studies department. Glenn worries that black academics are held to a lower standard, a theme John discussed in his 2000 book Losing the Race. Glenn and John agree that black studies needs to adopt a more global approach.

Mon, May 21, 2012
Guest-hosting on The Posner Show, Sarah talks to Mark about the controversy over whether the 2012 Olympics should memorialize the Israeli athletes murdered forty years ago in Munich.

Mark Schmitt & Jamelle Bouie
Author: Bloggingheads.tv
Sun, May 20, 2012
On Fireside Chats, Mark and Jamelle talk about Jamelle's American Prospect cover story arguing that Mitt Romney would be a very conservative president. But would the GOP really push the button on radical spending cuts? Jamelle thinks Romney should back off his recent rhetorical embrace of Bill Clinton. Mark and Jamelle are skeptical of a Romney adviser's argument that states should compete like corporations to provide the best services. The two discuss the implications of a new super PAC plan that describes Obama as a "black, metrosexual Abraham Lincoln." Finally, they talk about the demise of Americans Elect, which tried to use the Internet to recruit a third-party presidential candidate.

Fri, May 18, 2012
On Foreign Entanglements, Hussein offers his take on the Egyptian presidential election and predicts that Egypt's voters will opt for a balance between the presidency and parliament. Is presidential candidate Aboul Fatouh an Islamist that liberals can love? Turning to Israel, Matt and Hussein try to figure out why Kadima's Mofaz joined Netanyahu's government only days after calling Bibi a liar. An American congressman has urged Israel to annex the West Bank—is this at all realistic? Matt argues that Israel's Gaza closure has strengthened Hamas. Finally, will the Arab Spring help or hurt Hamas?
