Joe Klein and and I mulled (such a great word)) the current state of play in the presidential race—with crucial events, like the June 27 debate, looming. We both think Biden should exit the race, which isn’t going to happen. We also talk about an enormous but hidden American problem: Boys aren’t doing so well. Not in school, not in life. What to do?
Have a listen:
If you prefer, you can listen to this and previous editions of ‘Night Owls’ on all of the major podcast platforms (Apple, Amazon, Spotify, etc).
Tomorrow, Joe and I will interview Philip Howard about America’s downward spiral of alienation and extremism and, more important, what can be done to reverse it. We’ll post that conversation next week.
Programming Note: ‘Night Owls’ producer Mano Sundaresan is leaving us. He’s taken (or about to take) a big turn-around job in publishing world. This is unfortunate for us, but good for him.
So: we need a new producer.
If any News Items, Political News Items, or Sanity Clause subscribers out there know of someone who might be interested in taking over as the producer of ‘Night Owls’, please let me know. My email address is jellis41@protonmail.com.
