Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NOEM HARD FEELINGS! PEP with Chas & Elle Hardy (Ep 249, 11 March)
Q: Elle, kick us right off. What are you grateful for?
Elle expresses gratitude for journalist Andrew Lownie and discusses the Moonies book as a well-written, resonant account that provides a sharp window into political history.
TRICIA McLOCKEDOUT! PEP with Chas & Dr Dave (Ep 246, 20 February)
Q: What is the main critique regarding the use of body cameras for ICE officers?
The critique is that while body cameras can increase accountability, there are concerns about how the footage might be used, potentially for facial recognition and monitoring peaceful protests.
TRICIA McLOCKEDOUT! PEP with Chas & Dr Dave (Ep 246, 20 February)
Q: How can you throw a US citizen in immigration detention if you're not 100% sure that they're a US citizen?
You can't, unless you are verifying their identity first; that's the point being made about due process and fairness in the immigration system.
EVERY-BONDI HURTS! PEP with Chas & Melina Wicks (Ep 245, 17 February)
Q: Why did you shut down this investigation last July and why have you not prosecuted former Prince Andrew?
Trump's connections may complicate investigations into Epstein's co-conspirators, as there is a tendency for powerful figures to evade accountability in the political landscape.
EVERY-BONDI HURTS! PEP with Chas & Melina Wicks (Ep 245, 17 February)
Q: What are your thoughts about the FBI tip-off line?
There isn't concrete evidence linking Trump directly to the allegations made via the tip-off line, and many believe it's difficult to ascertain the truth of such claims, given their timing and lack of substantiation.
