  • This podcast makes me wanna watch the show

    It’s so informative and well done. I really like there take on politics. Yamiche Alcindor is my favorite White House reporter. She keeps it 1,000 every time. Class act. Keep up the good work. Judy’s cool too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Democratic strategist breaks down DNC's 2024 election autopsy
Q: What is your assessment of the quality and handling of the DNC report?
The guest notes the report is flawed, with missing conclusions and notes of 'no evidence' cited, suggesting the process was mishandled and the project not ready for prime time, which undermines its credibility.
Tulsi Gabbard's record and impact on the U.S. intelligence community
Q: Nick, what did Gabbard say in her announcement, her resignation announcement today?
Gabbard said she was stepping away due to her husband's illness and cited a rare form of bone cancer; she released a resignation letter explaining her need to be by his side.
New Mexico secretary of state explains law barring armed federal agents at polls
Q: In midterm elections, would you send a national guard or ICE to voting locations in November? Would you do that?
I would do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections, and I'm not ruling anything out, but the law in New Mexico currently restricts federal agents from interfering in the election process and provides penalties for violations.
U.S. indicts Cuba's Raúl Castro in latest escalation of tensions
Q: Is there clarity on whether the goal is behavioral change or broader regime pressure?
Clarity is elusive, with the guest noting that the administration has used multiple channels and that the outcome is uncertain, reflecting a mix of pressure and negotiation tactics rather than a straightforward objective.
U.S. indicts Cuba's Raúl Castro in latest escalation of tensions
Q: What should we take from the timing of the indictment against Raúl Castro now?
The timing is tied to a broader, ongoing U.S. strategy of pressuring Cuba through economic policies, suggesting the move is part of a larger effort rather than a single isolated action.
