  • Elizabeth Austin—“Busted in NYC"
    Sep 26 2024

    Mayor Adams of NYC indicted on corruption charges. Ben riffs. Elizabeth Austin mentions the crushes NYT columnists had for him. In particular Nate Silver. Talking Adams turns the conversation to Blago, a pol Elizabeth once wrote speeches for. Also, if policy matters how come the media outlets that say it matters paid almost no attention to Kamala Harris’s economic policy speech? And an unconventional President Biden conspiracy theory. Elizabeth is a political strategist and writer.
