| 6/25/26 | ![]() The Biden legacy: A ranking of failures | The Bidens are back in the news, thanks to Jill Biden’s new book and Joe’s apparent difficulties raising money for his presidential library. So Jerusalem Demsas and Matthew Yglesias do the thing the party keeps avoiding: they rank the worst parts of Joe Biden's presidency, from the economy and inflation to immigration, Israel and Gaza, the Kamala Harris pick, and the decision to run for reelection at all. Plus a peer review of a new paper on why marriage is collapsing for non-college Am... | 1h 18m 53s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() Andrew Tate, Dan Bilzerian, and the death of romance | Is online dating advice actually making it harder to find love? This week, Jerusalem Demsas and Matthew Yglesias wade into the world of online dating advice, from the manosphere influencers coaching men to treat women as opponents to the female-coded content teaching women to read every date as a minefield. Jerusalem and Matt find themselves split on what it's actually doing to us. Is this tactical advice a useful nudge for people who'd otherwise never take a risk, or a trap of stereoty... | 1h 04m 05s | ||||||

| 1/12/26 | ![]() Matthew Yglesias on What Went Wrong with Modern Liberalism? | If we want to address racism, should we talk more about race – or less? Matthew Yglesias argues liberals undermined their own principles when politics shifted from judging people as individuals to sorting them into moral categories based on group identity. We debate “the fox in liberalism’s henhouse,” collective blame, and why “accurate” generalizations can still poison a pluralistic society. The Argument is a podcast dedicated to honest, unflinching debate about the biggest questions f... | 1h 23m 01s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | ![]() We're Getting Frog-Boiled by AI (with Kelsey Piper) | A lot of Americans are uneasy about AI, and so are many of the people building it. Yet we keep scaling and deploying these systems faster than we’re building rules to govern them. Why? The Argument's Kelsey Piper has a few explanations, from foreign competition to a sense of inevitability to a conservative party terrified of regulation. Even if the incentives are clear, our collective complacency is not, especially given AI models have already attempted blackmail and in one case a... | 1h 08m 12s | ||||||
| 12/29/25 | ![]() Best Of: Liberalism Under Pressure w/ Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, & Derek Thompson | At the end of the year, I wanted to revisit our very first podcast conversation with some of my favorite liberal journalists. In our very first live show in Washington, D.C., Derek Thompson, Ezra Klein, and Matt Yglesias joined me for a disagreement-ridden conversation to tape the first episode of our new video podcast, The Argument. We talk about why Matt spends so much of his time arguing with the left, whether Ezra thinks it matters “who shot first” as the right ramps up its att... | 1h 34m 51s | ||||||
| 12/22/25 | ![]() How Liberal Elite Failure Fueled Far-Right Populism | Why is far-right populism on the rise? Political scientist Gabriele Gratton has a controversial theory: For decades, technocrats moved policy decisions — on austerity, climate, and more – away from the realm of mass politics and toward independent authorities, courts, and experts. The result? A populist backlash fueled by the desire to reassert control over policy. In Gratton's telling, the populist backlash isn't irrational; it's a democratic response to elite failure. But his prescription i... | 1h 18m 06s | ||||||
| 12/15/25 | ![]() America’s Reading Crisis: What Mississippi Got Right | America's literacy problem is a policy choice. As schools shifted away from phonics toward guessing-based instruction, a generation of kids paid the price. But a quiet reversal is underway in an unexpected place. Mississippi rebuilt reading instruction from the ground up and saw real gains. If it worked there, why are other states so resistant to copying it? The Argument is a podcast dedicated to honest, unflinching debate about the biggest questions facing democracy, culture, and our future.... | 1h 22m 21s | ||||||
| 12/8/25 | ![]() Why We Feel Screwed: Immigration, Growth, and the Zero-Sum Mindset | Why do so many people believe immigrants are screwing them even when the evidence says otherwise? Economist Sahil Chinoy joins host Jerusalem Demsas to break down his massive 20,000-person study on zero-sum thinking — the worldview that assumes someone else’s gain must be your loss. They dig into how family histories of enslavement and immigration shape attitudes today, why young Americans are so much more zero-sum than older generations, and how economic stagnation fuels a sense of sca... | 51m 17s | ||||||
