  • Great show

    Love this show.

    But please organize the podcasts differently.

    First, most recent at the top, so we don’t need to scroll through a bunch of old podcasts to find the most recent.

    Second, it would be nice if you could find a way to date the podcasts so if I listen to older podcasts I have an idea when they were created.

  • Great show

    Greetings from Billings. I worked hard for the last 2 campaigns (even door knocking) and have met the senator a couple times. He’s a good man. This interview with Gloria Allred was so enlightening. I would like to see her out there more. She knows so much from the most important (survivor) point of view. I do have to listen to this on 1.5 speed but that’s just me. Originally being from Chicago, Montanans speak too slow.

  • Not co-equal branches of government

    From a fellow native Montanan. Almost every week you state that congress is a co-equal branch of the US government. From my civic class I learned Article 1 - “the people” - is the primary and superior branch. Controls the budget, oversight of executive, war-making power, etc.

    Granting the president power over the legislative has created this untenable situation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Get It Together
Q: Get it together. What does it take to move past infighting and focus on winning in the current political climate?
The hosts and Tara emphasize dumping purity tests, uniting around the best viable candidate, and waging a focused, consistent campaign rather than internal fights that undermine electoral success.
It’s Getting Hot in Here
Q: What do you see happening with election executive orders and the legal framework around them?
The panel argues that any attempt to nationalize elections lacks a legal basis, would be subject to injunctions, and should be resolved by Congress and the courts rather than the White House.
Social Circle, Georgia
Q: What are the implications of turning this warehouse into an ICE detention center?
Local infrastructure is likely insufficient to support an influx of detainees and staff, raising concerns about resources and management.
Social Circle, Georgia
Q: Who built the data center in town, and has the warehouse ever been used?
The warehouse was built by PNK Group, which has a Russian connection, and it's currently empty.
Safe and Secure
Q: Is voter fraud a significant issue in today's elections?
While voter fraud occurs, it is very minimal and not a widespread issue that affects election outcomes.
