  • Show running short?

    Two days in a row now and 7-8 minutes left over time with no content. Just saying.

  • My go-to podcast…

    For smart conversations about politics and current events. I like Larry and Kevin much more than the previous co-hosts.

  • Good show not timely

    Showing one star to get your attention. Love the content and guests. I get it too late in my apple podcast feed and in these fast moving times, most of the analysis feels outdated.

  • Chronic audio issues

    Like the show. For some reason Mark your audio levels are chronically low, and I have to strain to hear you sometimes while listening during my morning workout. Alternatively your guests are always loud and clear, as are the clips you play. Time for a sound engineer! Thanks, LJW

  • Good US coverage; could have been great

    (Updated: Unfortunately, despite liking Mark Halperin, it is just impossible to become a regular listener when some of the guests, either left or right, are simply ridiculous and deeply partisan talking heads (eg Bill de Blasio, one of the worst and most disliked mayors in NYC’s history?). These apparatchiks might as well be party spokespeople. This is a recurrent issue, and I’m sorry to say I’ve finally given up. I’ve left my original review below, as it largely still applies to the show.)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mystery Deepens over Democrat James Talarico's Flu Claims as Trump Asks Questions at White House
Q: Why were you saying at the top of this that you didn't have any signs of the flu?
The caller says he believes James Talarico had the flu, but doubts it lasted 12 days and suspects Talarico remained out of public view while his campaign's momentum improved. Halperin questions the relevance of the speculation.

Q: What do you think of the way the vice president just did that?
Eliana Johnson says Republicans have struggled to define Abdul El-Sayed, but scrutiny of his alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties has become an effective line of attack and left his campaign on the defensive.
Fierce Ad Warfare Rages Between GOP and Democrats as Trump Heads Back to NC With One Week To Go
Q: If Vance runs, Trump will endorse him from the beginning or not necessarily?
Audrey Fahlberg expects Trump to endorse JD Vance from the beginning. The panel discusses whether Trump might also support Marco Rubio or delay choosing a preferred successor.
Fierce Ad Warfare Rages Between GOP and Democrats as Trump Heads Back to NC With One Week To Go
Q: Just your general sense of the midterms. If the choices are about as expected, which I would say baseline Democrats take the House by 10 or more, and they either take the Senate or barely miss, one or the other. So 50-50 or 51-49, that's the baseline. Is that about right?
The guests largely describe that as a reasonable baseline: Democrats are favored to take the House, while the Senate remains uncertain. They differ on particular races, with concerns about Maine and Michigan and possible Republican strength in other contests.
Blanche: Democrats' AI Panic Is "Nothing But an Effort To Influence the Midterms"
Q: What is wrong with wanting to clean up voter rolls in the country?
The host and guests discuss that cleaning up voter rolls is a legitimate, local control issue intended to preserve election integrity, though there's concern about federal overreach and political misuse; the aim is to ensure eligible voters cast ballots, not to suppress turnout.
