  • Awesome

    I have listened to this broadcast for many years from Canada. Trump’s actions have now been found unconstitutional. He will not be in the White House forever and hopefully the midterms will right some of his reprehensible actions.

  • Israeli Propaganda

    I can’t believe the propaganda coming from PBS. PBS is supporting a genocide. This must be the new Trump version of PBS. I can’t subscribe anymore

  • Great content, but why so many ads suddenly?

    Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

James Comey indicted over social media post Trump's DOJ says crossed a line
Q: So Ali, what is James Comey accused of, specifically in this indictment?
Ali Rogin explains that the indictment centers on two felony counts alleging that Comey threatened the president's life with a post containing shells spelling out the numbers 8647, and that prosecutors will need to prove a subjective understanding that the statement could be interpreted as a threat.
Ex-agent weighs in on Secret Service security concerns
Q: Why wasn't this event designated as a National Special Security Event (NSSE)?
NSSE designation requires a formal joint decision between Congress and the Department of Homeland Security, so it isn't as simple as a president or official declaring it; gaps in procedures may have contributed to not designating it as NSSE.
The mental health toll and lifelong consequences of gun violence in America
Q: What explains why gun violence mortality is dropping in some areas but still remains a pervasive life-altering issue for many communities?
Dr. Betz explains that decreases in murder rates come from a mix of upstream interventions and improvements in policing and community programs, but overall gun violence remains a complex public health problem that affects survivors and families long after the event; no single fix will close the gap.
Ex-Kennedy Center staffer alleges chaos and cronyism under Trump leadership
Q: Why does this moment rise to the level of desecration, as you put it in the piece?
He argued that public arts institutions should remain apolitical and belong to the American people, and that the Trump-era leadership risked politicizing the Kennedy Center, prompting his whistleblower stance and call for congressional safeguards.
Ex-Kennedy Center staffer alleges chaos and cronyism under Trump leadership
Q: What did that actually look like in practice?
The guest described fundraising tactics tied to proximity to leadership, including very expensive VIP access and donor-driven decisions that resembled political patronage rather than standard nonprofit arts fundraising.
