  • Juvenile snark

    According to these guys, Hispanics have a moral right to be lobbyists for the military because they’ve been oppressed.

    If you enjoy that sort of thing, you’ll love this!

    I can’t believe the hate & bashing I heard on this episode! It’s sad that it has crept into every aspect of life, even hiding under the guise of Pro-Israel! Just another partisan podcast pushing deception! Disappointing!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CQ Budget: 'Anti-weaponization' fund retreat
Q: If restrictions are not viable, would Trump sign an abolishing bill, or veto it?
There's a risk he might veto, which would complicate any attempt to override, and lawmakers would have to weigh political costs against the practical need for immigration funding in a way that could shift coalition dynamics.
CQ Budget: 'Anti-weaponization' fund retreat
Q: Back up a minute, this was the most fascinating lawsuit where Trump was essentially suing his own government, right?
Yes, it's an unusual case where the government and Trump appeared to be in a conflict of interest; the judge even queried whether the settlement was legitimate and reopened the case to weigh in on collusion concerns and the legitimacy of the fund's creation.
CQ Budget: 'Anti-weaponization' fund retreat
Q: What is the betting right now on what they're going to do?
There are competing pressures: Republicans want the fund dead or restricted, Democrats want to force votes on amendments, and the administration has signaled compliance with court orders but faces ongoing legal challenges that could force last-minute policy choices.
CQ Budget: 'Anti-weaponization' fund retreat
Q: Walk us through how we got here if you could and what these court rulings mean.
The settlement timing overlapped with possible reconciliation votes, creating leverage for the administration to push the fund, while courts issued pauses and reopened related lawsuits, signaling a volatile legal backdrop that could unravel or shape legislative options.
Equal Time: Do Black women have solutions to what’s ailing American democracy? By Mary C. Curtis
Q: What lessons from Shirley Chisholm's career are most relevant today for Black women candidates and community organizers?
Chisholm's example shows that facing pushback from both opponents and supposed allies is part of breaking barriers, and that sustaining a coalition requires resilience, clear policy advocacy, and radiating leadership that goes beyond surface-level visibility.
