  • With Dan - 5 stars. Without - 1 star.

    Just tune out until Dan gets back.

    Killing a lot of brain cells listening to Amy and whatever lame guest host she can drag in for the day or week. Luckily boredom almost immediately sets in and I can change the channel.

  • Volume issue persists

    Great show but hosts and guests need to speak at a constant volume. Do they teach mumbling in broadcast school? Please fix this.

  • Audio, level of hosts is much too quiet

    Of course the show itself is extremely insightful and I listen as much as I can in the morning, hoping to catch the rest with the podcast. The only problem is that the volume level of the hosts is much, much too quiet to hear clearly. In the old days I would have hooked the podcast up to an amp and added a limiter to the chain, because the rest of the audio is, to varying degrees, louder. PLEASE fix this issue, seems simple enough to remedy!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No Kings Rally 2.0
Q: What do you think the protesters fail to recognize about their demands?
They often forget that America is not a monarchy, and calling for no kings reflects an oversimplified view of a complex political landscape.
No Kings Rally 2.0
Q: How do you perceive the current political climate regarding the No Kings rallies and Trump's approval rating?
The rallies seem to reflect a misunderstanding of the political structure and show signs of resistance against established norms. Trump's approval ratings suggest significant support for his policies despite public protests.
From Stand-down to Crackdown: TX National Guard in Chicago
Q: Will the Trump administration be successful in arguing that the president does have the power to deploy the National Guard over the objection of a state's governor?
Yes, under 10 USC 12406, the president has the authority to call the National Guard when federal law enforcement is hindered.
From Stand-down to Crackdown: TX National Guard in Chicago
Q: So what's the rationale for that?
The rationale is that the National Guard is needed to protect federal law enforcement personnel and enforce immigration law in the face of rising violence and lawlessness.
Was It a Stand-Down Order or Not?
Q: Were CPD officers told by dispatchers to stand down?
Superintendent Snelling stated that he was not aware of any stand down orders, suggesting that there was only communication between the chief of patrol and other officers on the ground.
