  • Jessica doesn’t want to hang out with people that are gros

    I rewinded this several times to understand the context but in the subject of elite colleges Jessica says that parents like her isn’t want “to go on vacations with people that are gross”. What in the world was that? I’m so disgusted by such blatant classism! And Prof G saying kids don’t go to college to be exposed to “woke” ideology. How incredibly oil-baron and tone deaf and insulting of the middle class you sounded. Wow. I’m shocked at what I just heard. Disappointed and disgusted

  • Prof Tarkov media

    Galloway can at times be so human, with great values and interesting insights, but then he will just blow his credibility in a single stupid take.

    Jessica Tarkov is informed, disciplined and the brains behind this operation.

  • Not moderate

    Was excited to listen to these guys as I’m a fan of the Dog. Unfortunately, it’s just become a 45 minute Trump/MAGA bashing session. I’m not MAGA, but was looking for some truly moderate commentary. Also, JT’s vocal fry has become so grating. I don’t think I can take it anymore.

  • Great Show, Push Harder

    This is a show I look forward to every day and I’m happy with the guests you’ve been having on both right and left. That said, I believe you can go harder on them, and should go harder on them. When you don’t, it seems to normalize their views. Keep pushing your guests the same way Lulu Garcia-Navaro pushed Tucker Carlson. I’m a moderate liberal and love the show. Jess is a rockstar!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Trump’s Iran War Could Break the GOP (ft. Ben Shapiro)
Q: Given the fragmentation you described within the MAGA ecosystem, what does this mean for the future of U.S. foreign policy—will allies continue to trust American leadership?
Allies will weigh past reliability, the clarity of commitments, and the tangible outcomes of American actions; while some partnerships may endure, there is a risk that distrust could erode long-standing alignments if perceived as unilateral or inconsistent.
How Trump’s Iran War Could Break the GOP (ft. Ben Shapiro)
Q: Could you talk a little bit more about where you think our interests are versus Israel's, where they align and where they don't, and how that impacts our ally relationships?
The United States and Israel share security goals in certain strategic areas, but there are also independent interests, such as open maritime routes, energy security, and broader regional stability, which means we should coordinate but not assume perfect alignment on every move.
Trump Spirals as Iran Blockade Triggers Recession Fears (ft. Sen. Chris Murphy)
Q: What outline of strategy would you propose for handling the situation right now if the White House asked for one?
The senator advocates ending the war or ceasing aggressive actions as a starting point, arguing that a rapid, unilateral military approach has not yielded the desired strategic gains and that open diplomacy with regional and international partners is necessary to reopen the Strait and reduce risk to the global economy.
Pam Bondi Fired as Trump Promised BIG News on the Iran War… Delivered NOTHING (ft. Marc Elias)
Q: What are the legal implications of the Birthright Citizenship case and the Save America Act?
Marc Elias argued these efforts are aimed at disenfranchising voters through a mix of constitutional challenges and administrative lists, with real risks to due process and equal protection.
Pam Bondi Fired as Trump Promised BIG News on the Iran War… Delivered NOTHING (ft. Marc Elias)
Q: How did you interpret the primetime address and what did it reveal about the administration's messaging?
The hosts felt the speech was rambling and incoherent, with some interns stitching together a patchwork of posts to craft a narrative, signaling weak policy framing and control.
