  • NBC Gave Up on Journalism

    I just listened to the “interview” with President Trump and realized that NBC has given up on journalism.

    No matter your politics, no news station should pass up the chance to ask controversial questions in an interview with an American President.

    This President’s polling numbers are currently (early 2026) in decline on immigration, the Epstein files and the economy, but only softball questions were asked.

    For example, “On January 21, 2029, is there any scenario where you see yourself as pr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thursday, May 14, 2026
Q: What is the status of the Iran issue in the talks with China?
Officials say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and the discussions aim to clarify the U.S. position while exploring China's potential influence on regional stability.
Here’s the Scoop: Supreme Court Edition, Ep 2: Who gets to play school sports?
Q: What was your strategy for arguing the case in front of the Justices?
We aimed to appeal to conservatives on the textual/constitutional interpretation while also presenting a logical, non-discriminatory basis linking transgender status to sex discrimination under Title VII, even as we recognized broader debates around purpose versus text.
Here’s the Scoop: Supreme Court Edition, Ep 2: Who gets to play school sports?
Q: Did you think that that was a winnable case when you first heard about it?
Yes, but certainly not a certainty; strong arguments existed about sex discrimination, but the ultimate outcome depended on how the Court interpreted the statute and the balance of legal reasoning.
Here’s the Scoop: Supreme Court Edition, Ep 2: Who gets to play school sports?
Q: You've argued eight cases before the US. Supreme Court, not too shabby. You now teach at Georgetown Law. What do you tell your students is the single most important key to success before the High Court?
The key is writing excellent briefs; preparation for oral argument is important, but most cases are decided based on the written briefs before you even walk in.
Introducing Here’s the Scoop: Supreme Court Edition
Q: Why did the court ultimately decide in Wong Kim Ark's favor, and what concerns did they raise about the government's broader policy goals?
The court ruled that birthright citizenship could not be denied based on race or parental status, noting the clarity of the 14th Amendment's intent and the workability concerns of a broad, disruptive reinterpretation. They warned that overturning Wong Kim Ark would affect citizenship for many European immigrants and create a rigid, unworkable framework for determining allegiance and citizenship.
