  • Interrupted

    “I’ll let you answer after I finish interrupting you.” First and last time listening to this podcast. The host Peter Hamby asked his guest a question then proceeded to interrupt his reply 5 times in 10 seconds. Very irritating. If you’re a know-it-all Peter Hamby, own it, don’t invite guests.

    Sometimes I feel that they’re too smart to be as gullible as they around Bari Weiss. I can’t think of anything she’s done that they’d give her the benefit of the doubt headed into CBS. Also did they see the Erika Kirk interview? She was tossed softball after softball. Can’t believe they said she was “grilled.”

Publisher Search & Destroy
Q: What will be good about this shift to agentic search for users?
Agentic search can deliver personalized, proactive assistance, plan tasks, and perform actions on behalf of users, making information access more seamless and convenient, which could significantly improve everyday efficiency.
Democrats’ Redistricting Panic
Q: What's the mood on the Hill as redistricting fights intensify?
There's a split: some lawmakers are fired up and pushing aggressive maneuvers to protect or expand their majority, while others are exhausted and looking for a truce as the map wars drag on.
Democrats’ Redistricting Panic
Q: How has Marianna's background as a campaign embed influenced her approach to Capitol Hill reporting?
Her experience traveling with campaigns gives her a ground-level sense of how voters and local politics interact with national narratives, allowing her to read district-level dynamics more clearly.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Q: Do you think the administration is balancing tariff policy with affordability for consumers and producers?
I view tariffs as a tool with mixed effects; we need targeted, enforceable measures that bring concessions without unduly raising costs for consumers or distortions for producers, and I'd like to codify sensible wins that reflect what our allies are willing to offer.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Q: What do you want to come out of this meeting with China and President Xi, and what would good outcomes look like for agriculture?
I want announcements that indicate China will buy more agricultural products and follow through on commitments, while ensuring markets are stable and markets are predictable for farmers, with a continued emphasis on reducing barriers and expanding access.
