9/4 The Corporatist 2028 Ploy Playing out Now w/ Astead Herndon

September 4, 2026

It’s Casual Friday.

On today’s program:

JD Vance is asked by Kaitlin Collins about the widow of an airman who was killed in the War on Iran, struggling access to benefits due to there being no real declaration of war. Vance says he is grateful for the sacrifice and offers his love. That should help pay bills.

Astead Herndon, host of America, Actually and publisher of the Midterms, Actually newsletter on Substack, joins to recap the week’s news.

In the Fun Half:

Abdul El-Sayed goes on Stephen A. Smith’s show to discuss why he campaigned with Hasan Piker and how Donald Trump brought wives into the conversation.

Zohran Mamdani dispels the capital flight myth in context to raising taxes on the rich and highlights the thousands of people who have been forced out of the city because they could no longer afford to live in NYC.

Sam Harris and James née Jamie Kirchick have a soft-spoken, hysterical, Islamophobic conversation.

All that and more.

On Sunday, October 4, Emma will be in Los Angeles doing a Bitchuation Room Live with Francesca Fiorentini at the Lodge Room. Get tickets here.
