Lovett or Leave It

2026-10-30

America’s a haunted house, and Trump is our poltergeist. Are voters ready to bust some ghosts this midterm election season? Also, Alaska’s Mary Peltola can see two Dan Sullivans from her house, Obama orders another round of Republican ass-kicking for the table, and Lovett brings together the nation (to insult him on Twitter) to win Michigan for the Dems.

This week, Zainab Johnson sticks to her guns, Todd Stashwick geeks out, and we all are scared stiff for The Egg of Spooky Truths. The Scream Wheel has us shrieking over lazy ghosts, respecting others’ fright levels, and LAX’s electrifying new people mover, and we get both tricks AND treats for Seconds Thoughts.

Where can you listen?

Former Obama speechwriter, self-described comedian and Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett takes the stage for a new season of the hit show that dared guests from Danny DeVito to Amy Klobuchar to ask “What is this?” and “Where am I?”

Each week, Jon breaks down the biggest and dumbest stories in politics to help you keep up with and laugh at the news, with big guests and surprising conversations you won’t find anywhere else.

New episodes every Saturday morning on your podcast feed and on YouTube. And if you’re in LA, come to a taping. You’ll be amazed by what we cut from the live show.
