The DMZ
On The DMZ: Why Republicans should shut up about Hillary’s age, and how they might run against her. Matt argues the next GOP presidential candidate has to be a rock star, and Bill argues the Democrats will survive if Hillary doesn’t run. Did Rubio blow it on immigration, or did he successfully tamp down criticism from the right? And should we be celebrating July 2nd instead of the 4th?

Rational Actors
On the debut episode of Rational Actors, Kevin and Ashe consider the GOP’s divisions on the immigration reform bill. Was the bill rushed too quickly through the Senate? What can conservatives do to promote high-skilled legal immigration? Turning to Texas, they discuss the huge response to Wendy Davis’s filibuster of a conservative abortion bill. Ashe argues that pro-life conservatives should make their case in terms of safety, referring to the infamous Gosnell case. Plus: Why can’t the House pass a farm bill?

Foreign Entanglements
On a very special Foreign Entanglements, Rob and Kevin discuss the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Kevin begins by sketching out the strategic situation of 1863 and the course of the battle itself. Rob and Kevin then discuss how memory of the battle has changed over time, focusing especially on how racial issues reshaped commemoration between 1913 and 1963. They conclude by speculating about what may come next. Will anyone remember the anniversary of Reconstruction?
