  • ContraPoints Ep

    Girl you wiped the floor with her (which I know was not the good faith effort you put in to reach across the aisle to her), and it’s so crazy how inarticulate and unprepared Natalie is to have any sort of substantive conversation. One of my favorite episodes in a long time, because it echoes so many of the frustrating conversations I have in my day to day life trying to articulate the control corporate donors have over the entire Democratic Party as a mechanism.

    I was yelling into my phone ever... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 609 - In Antitrust We Trust (w/ Alvaro Bedoya)
Q: What kind of legislative or regulatory actions would you want to see to unwind or prevent this from happening again?
He advocates for stronger, possibly state-led or federal structural remedies, including legislative breakups and a new framework akin to the Sherman Act to curb consolidation and empower workers.
Episode 609 - In Antitrust We Trust (w/ Alvaro Bedoya)
Q: What's your take on the settlement's enforceability and its real-world impact on California jobs and headquarters?
Bedoya argues the deal's protections are shallow, with dubious guarantees on 30 films a year, a weak independent board, and no firm HQ retention, making the settlement a partial, temporary fix rather than a durable solution.
Episode 609 - In Antitrust We Trust (w/ Alvaro Bedoya)
Q: Give us some background. How do we get here with the Paramount-Warner merger?
Bedoya provides a layout of the bidding, the debt, the proposed consolidation, and the bribery-like elements that led to a settlement, highlighting how the deal would affect jobs, prices, and media diversity.
Promo: Episode 602 Independnt's Day (w/ Sam Husseini)
Q: To do that end, can you tell me a little bit about your district, a little bit more about who Glenn Ivey is and how he came to be in Congress?
The discussion covered Ivey's fundraising background, the influence of external money, and how the district's political landscape has evolved, including concerns about establishment alignment and the role of APAC funding in shaping electoral outcomes.
Episode 599 - Does the Left's "Tea Party" Have Teeth? (w/ Oliver Larkin)
Q: What is your stance on defund the police and abolishing ICE and how do you address concerns about public safety?
The goal is to abolish the mass incarceration system and private detention; public safety should come from universal services and social supports, not punitive, profit-driven systems; policy can still ensure safety while reducing harm.
