  • Kudos to Katie for keeping the interview with Bill Cassidy a civil one.

    Bill Cassidy, although among the more reasonable and honest Republicans, still did a lot of deflecting and pushing back on reasonable questions asked by Katie. He could have answered Katie's questions about what he thought about certain Trump appointments with a simple polite refusal to answer, but, making it seem as if the questions were irrelevant, he chose to push back hard against her. Katie, being the consummate professional, kept the interview moving and civil without holding back on ask... more

  • Erin Brokovich interview

    She sounded completely unprepared with any hard facts for this interview. No named city councils, no understanding of how an NDA works, no named cities even. I’m not even disputing her claims but they are unfounded per this podcast. Make sure your guests are prepared by producers instead of saying “I’m still learning this stuff” 50 times throughout the interview as an excuse why she can’t answer any of your direct questions. I love the show otherwise. This one was just a flop

More Rules for Aging with Roger Rosenblatt

REGIME CHANGE: Katie’s One-on-One with Maggie Haberman
Q: How did the years out of office shape Donald Trump's 2.0 administration?
