Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Presidents Have to Follow the Rules, Too... Right?
Q: What exactly did the Supreme Court decide in the announcement we just heard?
Lyda explains that the Supreme Court did not decide whether Trump's mail-in voting executive order is constitutional. A lower court had ruled it unconstitutional, and the current question concerns whether the order can operate while the administration appeals.
Presidents Have to Follow the Rules, Too... Right?
Q: Do you feel like the respect for the rule of law is something we have a lot of work to repair once this administration is over?
Lyda says confidence needs repair across the political spectrum and calls for reforms addressing accountability, corruption, and judicial structure while avoiding safeguards that prevent progress.
Cowboys Fans: This Is Our Year!*
Q: Looking at the season, do you have a ballpark win-loss total you're predicting?
Werder predicts 11-6 or better, while noting the Cowboys face a difficult schedule and must improve against playoff-caliber opponents.
Cowboys Fans: This Is Our Year!*
Q: Are those guys the reason why this team hasn't gotten over the hump or is it a myriad of other issues?
Werder says quarterbacks have contributed to notable playoff failures, but the broader problem is organizational, involving the whole team and its structure.
Dave Holmes Isn't Waiting for Permission
Q: Are you, how tightly are you scripting something? Are you like hitting beats and bullet points and just kind of winging it from there?
Holmes usually starts talking off the cuff and edits the material into a coherent video, while outlining and writing more deliberately for longer pieces.
