  • 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?).

I’ve left my original review below, as it largely still applies to the show.)

  • Good overall & commendably clear-eyed.

    Generally quite fair and open-minded – certainly much more so than mainstream media like our embarrassingly woeful BBC – and Mark’s sense of humour is a welcome bonus. I appreciate the podcast’s more equanimous insight into American politics, around which there’s far too much immature hysteria these days, not least here in Europe. Admirably, Mark is better able than most to coldly separate the merits and demerits of political policy from Trump himself, whatever one may think of the most media-sa... more

    A couple years back I was watching the election coverage thinking why doesn’t this guy have a podcast. Now Mark Halperin has 2 and both are great! He insightfully covers all of the everyday news but also finds untouched topics. The other day he asked a guest his top president since Regan and I was surprised how much you could learn about the person by his answer!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump's Intel Team Says Iran Was a Serious Threat as Oil Prices Rise Amid Airstrikes by Israel, Iran
Q: Steve, what's interesting about the exchange between the two senators and why does it matter for the confirmation?
The exchange reveals concerns about temperament and readiness for a top national security post, suggesting that the nominee may not have the experience necessary to manage a large department.
Trump Says the CIA Told Him The New Ayatollah Is Gay; Iran Begged Him for More Time To Negotiate
Q: What developments are capturing Brit Hume's focus in the next 48 hours?
Brit emphasizes monitoring day-to-day conflict dynamics, signs of Iran's weakness, and the political consequences in the U.S., especially around the TSA shutdown and ongoing negotiations.
"We're Not Putting Troops Anywhere": Trump Claims He Has No Plans for U.S. Ground Troops in Iran
Q: Ashley, you first. I'd love for you to just say if Bibi Netanyahu is talking truth when he says their missile and nuclear programs are disabled, doesn't that make an exit strategy a lot more possible than it seemed this morning?
Ashley notes that while Netanyahu may claim disruption of capabilities, there remains a lack of clarity on end goals and the broader strategy, making a decisive exit plan uncertain.
Iran War Latest: US Navy To Escort Tankers Through Strait of Hormuz "As Soon as Militarily Possible"
Q: Do you agree that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is a major consideration in shaping the conflict?
Yes, it's a central issue because safe transit through the strait has profound implications for global energy markets, and any decision will require coordination with allies and a credible plan to deter Iranian disruption.
"For Them, It's a War": Trump Says He's Destroyed Iran's Navy as Iran Hits Three Cargo Ships
Q: Based on what you've seen, how long might the conflict or its effects last?
The panelists avoid predicting a precise timeline, emphasizing that the duration depends on strategic decisions, the ability to reopen the Strait, and whether oil flows can resume smoothly, with some suggesting weeks rather than months.
