New Inquiries into Secret Service Activities, Kamala Harris’ Economic Agenda, and the House Oversight Committee's Investigation into Tim Walz’ Chinese Connections

Andrew, Tom, and Carl discuss new inquiries into Secret Service activities by Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Darell Isaa (which have been largely spurred by reporting from RCP’s National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree) and Kamala Harris’ economic agenda. Plus, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz’ relationship with China and today’s announcement that the House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into Walz’ Chinese connections. They also preview next week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Next, Andrew talks to Columbia University Law Professor Phillip Hamburger about Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s introduction of the “No Kings Act,’ which is aimed at curtailing the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court when it comes to presidential immunity. They also discuss Hamburger’s newest book "The Administrative Threat" which looks at the growing power of federal agencies. And then, RCP Contributor Charlie Stone talks to comedian Chuck Nice, co-host of the podcast Star Talk with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, about the role of comedy in society and the impact of cancel culture on today’s comedians.
