We continue the October 7 conversation with a major local development: Haverford College professor Guangtian Ha is arrested and accused of antisemitic cyberstalking. We read Haverford’s response, discuss the FBI’s involvement and connect the case to the broader fights over antisemitism and protests on American college campuses. Dawn also raises Josh Shapiro, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running-mate decision and the security presence now needed at synagogues.
The conversation then moves to Michigan, where a focus group produces a result none of us expects: several Trump voters say they plan to support Democrat Abdul El-Sayed over Republican Mike Rogers. That sparks a spirited argument over populism, socialism, party loyalty and what actually motivates voters. We compare the Trump coalition with more traditional Republicans and debate how much ideological consistency voters really demand from the candidates they support.
The Cornell 7 case returns with Jane Doe’s claims against Mooney’s Bar and the bar’s response concerning what she was served on the night in question. We scrutinize the alcohol timeline, available witnesses and questions surrounding Cornell’s internal process before discussing Matthew Ingalls, who says he was assaulted as well.
