Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kevin McCarthy on Harvard, the 2020 Election, and Congress
Q: All right. So speaking of Trump, let's talk about him a little bit.
McCarthy discusses Trump's influence, the MAGA movement, and the possibility of future Republican candidates earning the trust of voters, while acknowledging nuances around the 2016-2020 election dynamics.
Kevin McCarthy on Harvard, the 2020 Election, and Congress
Q: Let's start with his first term. So in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, you signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting the Texas lawsuit that sought to throw out the electoral votes in four states.
McCarthy explains he questioned election procedures on a state-by-state basis and defended raising concerns within the constitutional framework, while acknowledging that Biden won the election and emphasizing the need for accountability and process.
Ken Burns on Media, Truth, and Polarization in America
Q: Final rapid-fire question: if you could teach a class at Harvard, what would you want to teach?
He would teach storytelling as the core of history education, focusing on how to communicate historical processes effectively and how long-form storytelling can educate and engage audiences.
Ken Burns on Media, Truth, and Polarization in America
Q: First question: if you could sit down and interview one historical figure, who would that be and what would you ask them?
Burns would choose figures like Louis Armstrong, George Washington, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR, and would ask them about their perspectives on leadership, society, and the path of history.
Jason Furman on the Federal Reserve
Q: Do you think Powell should stay on the board after his term ends, or would that signal unhealthy White House influence?
There are 19 FOMC members with 12 voting; keeping Powell can help preserve independence, but changes could occur depending on the political landscape and appointments.
