Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Borderlands (w/ Ken Salazar)
Q: How can the 2028 cycle be shaped to advance the New American Alliance idea?
By promoting bold, concrete proposals on defense, trade, energy transition, and cross-border governance, and by building broad coalitions across states and sectors to implement a shared regional vision.
Borderlands (w/ Ken Salazar)
Q: What lessons can be drawn from AMLO and Claudia Sheinbaum's leadership for U.S. politics?
Salazar points to their authentic communication, daily engagement, and commitment to inclusive policy, suggesting the U.S. should emulate consistent, transparent leadership and a climate-focused, people-centered agenda to counter authoritarian narratives.
Borderlands (w/ Ken Salazar)
Q: What should the Democratic Party do politically to address immigration without ceding to xenophobic framing?
He argues for principled, humane reform that emphasizes security through cooperation, economic integration, and addressing root causes, not punitive rhetoric; Democrats should avoid tacking to the right and instead push a collaborative, North American approach.
Borderlands (w/ Ken Salazar)
Q: What is a broken border, and what does modernizing it look like in practical terms?
Salazar explains the border is broken in multiple dimensions—security, commerce, and the lived reality of communities; modernization involves integrated cross-border infrastructure, shared environmental and economic planning, and policies that balance humanitarian concerns with national security.
Founding Myths (w/ Tad Stoermer)
Q: Could you explain what you mean by resistance history and why the nine roles matter for contemporary activism?
Stoermer explains that resistance history is a way to analyze how power operates and to connect historical examples to present-day actions. The nine roles provide a practical framework to help people identify where they fit in and how to participate effectively.
