It's the Day's Day of Days! Because After the Rehearsal (1984).
It's interesting to note that Muir has shifted from his previous indistinct feeling of anomie to avoid dealing with Covid-19 to the protests, which he now generally mischaracterizes as 'riots'. (A few have developed into them, of course, but Muir's treatment is so general that it's clear he has no idea about the specifics.) It's worth noting even now that Muir barely engages with the topics he claims to be discussing. He trades in vagaries and insults and calls it a day. It's hard not to trace this with the entire ordeal of the Trump Presidency--Muir expected triumph and has gotten muddle. Of course, Muir can fake enthusiasm like a champ--he was talking about how great Iraq was going in 2008, remember--but it's not as good as the real thing. Muir may declare that it was great that they lost that lemon tree as he downs a cup of turnip juice, but he was expecting lemonade, no matter what he claims now.
