  • Older Population wealth

    I watch your program every week and look forward to it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Global Power Dynamics: America's Waning Influence
Q: What approaches does Malcolm Gladwell propose for reducing gun violence?
Gladwell argues for better-resourced community policing and focused deterrence, which intervenes in personal conflicts and cycles of retaliation, rather than concentrating primarily on assault-weapons bans.
Global Power Dynamics: America's Waning Influence
Q: Does Europe have a viable strategy if the United States reduces support for Ukraine?
Sikorski says Europe has funded Ukraine's state and weapons support, is using sanctions and frozen Russian assets as leverage, and should respond to Russian provocations with greater assistance to Ukraine.
Haggling With Trump’s America, the Russian Diesel Deal, Yemen’s Civil War
Q: And will the president's Russia deal make a difference?
Bordoff says the announced volumes are small relative to US consumption, prices barely moved after the announcement, and the deal is unlikely to make a major difference.
Haggling With Trump’s America, the Russian Diesel Deal, Yemen’s Civil War
Q: So for everyone trying to figure out how do you negotiate with this man, how did you negotiate with him?
Freeland describes a three-part approach: pursue agreements where interests align, engage with people and institutions across the United States, and stand firm rather than capitulate.
Bill Maher on the Midterms, AI Worldwide, the Future of Free Trade
Q: What happens if there is a Democratic House and Senate in terms of Trump and the party?
The discussion centers on how Trump might respond, the potential changes in his influence, and how the party could recalibrate amid internal divisions and shifting endorsements.
