Plus for those who like to watch (*wink*), you can catch all the funniest moments and gayest chaos on the Lovett or Leave It YouTube channel. So check us out there, and listen to Lovett or Leave It wherever you get your podcasts.

What a Weekday: Other Than That, Mr. Trump, How Was the Rally?
The temperature and the vibes are down as we head into the Republican convention after a weekend of mayhem and "unity." Trump chooses Vance. Biden chooses his words carefully. And Democrats in Congress choose not to choose.

Too Little Too NATO
President Biden holds a press conference and Democrats hold their collective breath. Marcy Jarreau ponders Real Housewife vs White House life. Rep. Janelle Bynum has what it takes to win the Beaver State. Jay Pharaoh puts his balls in Lovett’s court, and we celebrate one of life’s greatest pleasures: quitting.

What a Weekday: Slidin’ With Biden
And we're back! Joe Biden isn't going anywhere fast. Donald Trump is going mum on Project 2025, which is actually Secret Rule #57461 of Project 2025. And a horse gets loose on Independence Day, and we’re going to stop you right there: despite what you might be thinking, it is absolutely not a metaphor.

What A Weekday: Sugar, We’re Going Down Kinging
And we're back! The shit has hit the fan but, hey, still nice to have a breeze. Elected democrats are starting to speak out against nominating Biden - with their names attached even. The Supreme Court rules the president CAN'T ban pollution but CAN kill his rivals (during business hours). And... I don't know... Gladiator 2 and Wicked are coming out at the same time? Something to look forward to?

Debait and Switch? (Live from Boston!)
We’ve arrived in Boston and boy are our arms tired! Of waving at President Biden to stop making that face! Kathleen Turner is here and she has STORIES. Author Gretchen Felker-Martin helps us pick between the mundane and the macabre. And Jay Jurden parks his car in the Harvard Yard for some Gay News (Boston’s Version). Thanks to the Wilbur and Happy Pride!

Customer Reviews
The best
The only way I can deal with the horror show of 2024 politics is with a bit of humor and Lovett is the perfect delivery method. Forever a fan💜
Lovett or Leave It
Hilarious way to stay informed - Jon Lovett is a national treasure, which are words that have never left my mouth before and make me deeply uncomfortable in the best way possible.
Love it
Won’t be leaving it. Crooked is on the right side of history.
