    Love this series. Voices of the speakers is a bit lower. I need to crank up volume to max to have a decent listen. Appreciate if the recording can be improved

  • Congratulations and Bravo 🤩

    Great idea! Great show! I learned more from this sort of discussion because it enabled me to hear *between* the lines about how government works. Or *should* work. Thank you. I'll be a regular for sure.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kimmitt & Haq on Foreign Affairs; Feehery & Hays on Political News
Q: Nayyera, what do you make of what you just heard about Iran and the current trajectory of diplomacy?
The administration should emphasize verified diplomacy and clear, achievable benchmarks while acknowledging historical attempts and the limits of sanctions; patience should be paired with transparency about what success looks like and a realistic timeline.
Scott Jennings & Kate Bedingfield
Q: Kate, what's surprised you most about your job in the White House?
The most surprising part is how much information moves so quickly and how many different experts must coordinate to present a coherent picture to the president and the public, while maintaining trust and discretion.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Q: What can be done to reduce the perceived chaos of Congress and improve public trust?
Showcasing steady, issue-focused progress, communicating clear benefits to everyday costs like housing and healthcare, and highlighting successful bipartisan deals to demonstrate governance in action rather than hyper-partisan brinkmanship.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Q: What role does the Problem Solvers Caucus play in shaping policy across the aisle?
It serves as a bridge to find common ground on contentious issues, helping craft bipartisan strategies and steering legislation toward the Senate and the President for possible enactment.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Q: How can leadership in both parties support a bipartisan process to get health care costs down for families?
By encouraging in-room negotiations, accepting some compromises, and focusing on actual policy measures like premium subsidies and cost controls, while avoiding political posturing that distracts from delivering tangible results.
