  • Megyn Kelly & Tucker Carlson approved

    All one needs to know is; Tom Bevan, the president of RCP, is aligned and friendly with Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson. Carl Cannon is knowledgeable and worth listening to.

  • 🙄

    If I have to hear another “he was taken out of context” I may heave! When is it time to take Trump in the context that he provides? Almost every time he says something crazy, which is most of the time, at least two of you find a way to defend him. Now he’s taking 1.7 billion dollars, which we don’t even have, and you will find a way to defend him so he can give it away at his choosing. Prove me wrong! This is disgusting- and you will see nothing wrong with this and all the other useless stuff... more

  • MK media = one star

    Truly a 5+ star show, but since you're part of antisemite lover Kelly's MK media garbage dump, you are holding one star. Sorry, Carl.

  • Megyn Kelly & Tucker Carlson approved

    Tom Bevan rides the fence on every issue, gushes over Megyn Kelly, and defends Tucker Carlson. Carl Cannon is the only one with any integrity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Miranda Devine's Interview with President Donald Trump
Q: What makes Todd Blanche a focal point of the nomination process?
He is portrayed as loyal and energetic, capable of driving aggressive accountability actions, which could influence confirmation by showing strength in Congress, though concerns exist about the broad immunity clause and past actions.
Graham Platner’s Victory in the Maine Democratic Senate Primary
Q: What did the guest say about Iran negotiations and the regional implications?
Berkowitz argued that despite public optimism, the negotiations face structural barriers and the risk of an extended standoff remains, with potential consequences for US-Israel relations and broader Middle East policy.
Graham Platner’s Victory in the Maine Democratic Senate Primary
Q: How might the Texas ad and AI-generated content affect voter perceptions in that race?
The panel suggests such ads are part of a broader strategy to frame opponents negatively via provocative visuals and insinuations, which could influence undecided voters and intensify media scrutiny of candidates' personal histories.
Graham Platner’s Victory in the Maine Democratic Senate Primary
Q: What does the panel think about the Maine primary results and what it means for the general election?
They see Platner's victory as a protest alignment that could complicate Collins' re-election, noting the protest vote and the potential for voters to swing in the general with debates over campaign style and background.
New York's Political Crossroads: Moderates vs. Socialists in the Democratic Primary
Q: Sean, do you think the moderate wing will regain traction in the near term?
Sean argues that momentum for the hard left is evident in several districts, but a pragmatic, issue-driven approach from moderates could still sway battleground races if they connect policy with tangible outcomes and broad appeal.
