Howard University professor Dr. Greg Carr argues that Franklin D. Roosevelt was the greatest president of the 20th century despite the "racial dimensions" of the New Deal and GI Bill. The hosts point out the inconsistency in Carr's logic, where a Democrat's racism is excused by their economic policy, while a Republican like Trump is condemned for his perceived racism regardless of economic outcomes.
Karen Hunter describes the strategic "blueprint" required to win a Pulitzer Prize, based on her own experience at the New York Daily News. She emphasizes the need for a series of "perfect" editorials that appear to solve a significant societal problem. The hosts joke about applying this formula to their own podcast now that the Pulitzer Committee has opened a category for audio journalism.
