  • 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.

    I have listened to this broadcast for many years from Canada. Sad the funds are an issue for the current administration but he will not be there forever.

  • 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.

Supreme Court extends access to mifepristone, for now
Q: So, Mary Ziegler, what does this mean for access to the abortion pill?
Access remains unchanged for now under the current terms, but there is clear future legal uncertainty, with cases likely to return to the Supreme Court and additional challenges in lower courts.
Jerome Powell's impact and legacy at the Federal Reserve
Q: How should history judge Powell's tenure?
History will likely emphasize Powell's defense of Fed independence and credibility under aggressive political pressure, while also noting areas critics point to, such as the timing of rate rises and the balance between stimulus and inflation control.
Trump's 'elaborate' praise of Xi at China summit made U.S. look weak, ex-ambassador says
Q: So in concrete terms, and again, we don't have a lot of details yet, but so far, what do you think was accomplished on this trip that is in the US interest?
Burns highlights several outcomes: the meeting of the two leading economies and their militaries; invitations to engage with Xi; major deals in agriculture and aviation; and a framework for ongoing discussions on AI security and related technologies.
Trump's 'elaborate' praise of Xi at China summit made U.S. look weak, ex-ambassador says
Q: What about what we did hear from President Trump during this trip?
Burns notes that Trump was upbeat and civil in public, but argues that his over-the-top praise for Xi could signal weakness to others, and that a balanced, serious posture is more important for credibility.
U.S. destroyers and Iran trade fire in Strait of Hormuz in serious test of ceasefire
Q: So, Nick, there's a lot we don't yet know, but what are your sources telling you?
Nick Schifrin explains that an Iranian official and multiple US sources confirm this is the most serious exchange since the ceasefire, but both sides insist it is not designed to end the ceasefire, and that the event is being treated as a risk to a fragile pause rather than a restart of hostilities.
