Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 114.9k ratings
  • I just wish that the most popular and visible wing of the democratic party would stand up and stand for anything. American Conservatives have been faithlessly framing every conversation how they see it, and because the opposition refuses to fight them at all, Republicans have had their way since, well, basically since they killed the Kennedys that weren't controlled by brain worms. This show is the primary example of how feckless the Dems are, on purpose, for money. Soooo much money.

  • A must follow

    This is a reference point in independent media with focus on political America. Absolutely in my top five, although maybe a bit too establishment democratic.

  • Still get ads

    I'm a subscriber but some Pod Save America episodes still have ads because the subscriber episodes are not released (Trumps Hand in the Cookie Jar) was never issued as free. It's very frustrating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump's Revenge Leads to Republican Revolt
Q: What is your position on Prop 13 reform and housing affordability in California?
He argues for fairer property taxes, reforming Prop 13 to enable housing supply and mobility, while cautioning about capital flight and overall tax burden, and proposing targeted reforms like a move to fairer taxation as growth-oriented policy.
Trump's Revenge Leads to Republican Revolt
Q: Why are you the best candidate to lead the state?
He frames his governance record in San Jose around delivering basic services, reducing crime, expanding housing, and improving safety, arguing that pragmatic, outcomes-focused leadership is what California needs.
Trump Admits He's for He/Him, Not You
Q: How should Democrats talk about corruption going into midterms?
Frame corruption as a systemic problem that explains why everyday people are hurting, rather than just focusing on legalistic proof; tie it to everyday economic pain and the broader justice of democratic reform.
Did Trump's Supreme Court Rig the Midterms?
Q: How does the current political and media environment affect rural voters in states like Iowa?
Rural voters are drawn to messages challenging the establishment and race-based or anti-corruption reforms, and Wahls argues that grassroots organizing and a candidate with a direct, local connection can mobilize these voters more effectively than Washington-backed campaigns.
Did Trump's Supreme Court Rig the Midterms?
Q: What do you make of the Supreme Court ruling on gerrymandering and the Voting Rights Act?
The ruling represents a significant rollback of protections, effectively allowing more partisan gerrymandering and disenfranchisement in practice, which could reshape political power dynamics for years, especially affecting Black voters and minority representation.
