“Justice is a mechanical duck” (With Friends Like These episode)

***“Justice is a mechanical duck”*** is the seventeenth episode of With Friends Like These, hosted by Ana Marie Cox.

## Description

— Trump agoniste Rick Wilson (@therickwilson) sheds some light on the chasm between how Trump loyalists and Trump skeptics will receive the Comey testimony.
— Quinta Jurecic (@qjurecic), associate editor at Lawfare, elaborates on the insight that gripped many Comey observers: His story parallels that of anyone who’s been the target of a sexual predator.
— Commentary editor Noah Rothman (@noahcrothman) helps field a listener question about a relationship that’s soured since the election.

Quinta brings up two relevant pieces: Alexandra Petri’s imagined transcript of Comey/Sessions chats https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2017/06/07/james-comey-is-this-man-bothering-you/?utm\_term=.3006acd4459e

And this piece from Slate, about Comey’s written testimony as pulp fiction: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the\_slatest/2017/06/07/james\_comey\_s\_testimony\_about\_trump\_and\_the\_russia\_investigation\_shows\_off.html

(I also wrote my column on this subject, and you may hear me quote myself a bit: http://www.mtv.com/news/3019180/comeys-testimony-reminds-us-that-trump-is-a-predator/)

## Transcript

Hey guys, it's Tommy Vietor. You might remember me from "Keepin' It 1600", the podcast I co-hosted with Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Dan Pfeiffer. We started that show because we wanted to have a conversation about politics that we just couldn't find anywhere else. It helped us, it helped our listeners make sense of election that was unlike anything we've seen before. In 2017 we want to keep that conversation going on our new podcast "Pod Save America." New episodes start Monday, and will continue every Monday and Thursday after that until the trade wars begin and we barter our microphones for gas and bananas. There is much more to tell you about the podcast and our plans for this year, and we'll get into all of that on the first episode. But in the meantime, please subscribe to "Pod Save America" on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts. Tell your friends and family to subscribe, tweet about it, whatever you want. Thank you and we look forward to talking more soon.

“Poetic justice and justice are not the same thing” (With Friends Like These episode)

***“Poetic justice and justice are not the same thing”*** is the forteenth episode of With Friends Like These, hosted by Ana Marie Cox.

## Description

This episode wound up being about the limits and costs of empathy. First up: Franchesca Ramsey (@chescaleigh), creator and star of the hilarious social justice (really, all of that!) series, “Decoded.” We discuss about what she still feels uncomfortable talking about and who she feels uncomfortable talking to. Second segment: National correspondent for The Atlantic Graeme Wood (@gcaw), whose profile of honest-to-god Nazi and high school classmate Richard Spencer wound up being closer to his usual beat — ISIS — than Wood ever thought it would be.

Wood is also the author of “The Way of the Strangers: Encounters with the Islamic State”: https://www.amazon.com/Way-Strangers-Encounters-Islamic-State-ebook/dp/B018PD2HIG/
