  • Disappointed

    Disappointed by Tommy’s comments at the end of the Colin Kapernick interview. Amazon bothers him, but still shopping there every day. NFL does some bad things, but oh well. It struck me how similar these responses were to how the Democratic Party has responded to this second Trump administration. Change is going to require some sacrifice and discomfort, but here we have one of the top podcasts on the left openly acknowledging an unwillingness to really take a stand.

    Initially, I did not want to even bother to listen to this. Not interested in Fox News. Figured anybody that was on it, tagged as a “liberal” must be a big fraud. Glad I stuck with it. I was wrong. This woman made very interesting points, is obviously smart, and, I think, sincere. I don’t agree with everything she said, but she widened my perspective. Been listening to the pod since forever, but I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed it before. Great job, Tommy!

  • Left leaning republicans

    I used to love this podcast for forward thinking but they are just another train for what the democratic leadership wants and they do not resonate with a socialist Democrat and anyone who is, they will oppose you because they don’t see that working out. It is working out. They are out of touch, Zionist and support of any democratic candidate that does not rock the boat. Obama’s staff is not leading the future, they are diminishing it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Donald Trump: Ass Man
Q: How did you end up ahead of the curve on this, and why are data centers such a potent issue in Ohio in particular?
Brown says he heard concerns from residents across rural, suburban, and urban Ohio. He points to data centers using farmland and water, receiving state tax breaks, and potentially increasing electricity costs, while local communities have little input.
Donald Trump: Ass Man
Q: What is it about you? They're very mad about their bill going down. You weren't actually in the Senate when the bill went down, so they're still running ads against you. Why are you at the top of their enemies list?
Brown says he has spent his career challenging powerful interests, including Wall Street, pharmaceutical companies, and the oil industry. He says business groups support Jon Husted and oppose Brown because they expect him to hold them accountable.
Vance Bombs at Brutal Town Hall
Q: Are there circumstances where you'd welcome new data centers and what would the companies have to agree to?
Cognetti said data centers can be suitable at sites such as decommissioned power plants when developers, technology companies, municipalities, and labor negotiate transparently. She criticized opaque proposals and stressed that local communities should not bear the costs and risks.
Vance Bombs at Brutal Town Hall
Q: What made you decide to take on your own party in that race, and what did you learn from that experience?
Cognetti said she ran after uncovering corruption in Scranton and opposing party leaders' choice of a successor to an indicted mayor. She won as an independent and later introduced financial controls, reduced city debt, and improved its credit rating.
Have Republicans Already Blown the Midterms?
Q: Do you have any thoughts on the dissonance between or the underperformance in blue states this cycle for Democrats?
Walter says polarized blue states have limited room for movement, while states with larger Republican constituencies can shift more if Trump voters stay home. She also cites candidate-specific factors and local controversies, including Minnesota's fraud scandal.
