This is an iHeart Podcast.
Guaranteed human. Hey, Portlandia fans.
Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.
The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.
We're launching Podlandia AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast where we revisit every episode of Portlandia together, breaking down sketches, going deep on our iconic characters, and pulling back the curtain on how it all got made.
And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle MacLachlan, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.
Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised not just words, but a song, a melody.
Well, I thought you were all going to write a song.
I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia, AO Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y'all? It's your girl, Sam Jay. And we're the hosts of Everyone Watches Women's Sports, a new podcast from Together and iHeart Women's Sports. We're breaking down the biggest headlines. Naomi Osaka showing out. Shout out to you, Naomi. The viral moments. I've been obsessed with Kashawn Rock's boxing journey. She looks good. Her combos are swift. And the stories everyone's talking about across women's sports. Because everyone watches women's sports. Listen to Everyone Watches Women's Sports on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast, Disgraceland, I tell the stories behind music's biggest names, the moments that changed music history forever. Sonic Youth was cool, but was the band cooler than the couple on the cover of their album, Goo? Cool enough to escape the glare of the international paparazzi? Cool enough to escape murder? Disgraceland is part of the Exactly Right Network. Listen to new episodes every Tuesday, bonus episodes Thursday, and rewinds on Sunday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello, everyone. It's Friday, July 31st. Welcome to your Breaking Points Friday show. We got Crystal, we got Emily, and we got a big show today. We're looking at Trump approval ratings. How popular is our president? We have some answers towards that. And how popular is the DSA? Because there's some new polling showing that a third of Democratic voters are now identifying or at least favorable of Democratic socialism. Dun, dun, dun. And we've got Michigan reporter Sam Robinson going to join us at the 10 a.m. hour to talk about updates with the race between Abdul and Haley Stevens. The racism meter is getting turned up to 11, maybe 12.
Against Haley Stevens.
Against Haley Stevens. It's white racism. And so we'll get into all that and more with Sam Robinson. And then potentially I need to defend our people. That's right. That's right. Breaking points, so white. And then Max Miller, there's some dust-ups going there. Bernie Moreto's daughter, Emily Moreno, just filed a lawsuit restraining order against Mac Miller for abuse. That's Representative Max Miller, and we'll get all into that and more here on Breaking Points Fridays. But, Crystal, you were talking about how we all assume – that Trump is unpopular, but just how unpopular is he? Well, we've got some new polling that I'll pull up right here. Why don't you read it off for us?
