  • Real Clear-ly Bought Out

    Been way different since they moved onto the Megyn Kelly channel —- the Megyn Kelly who said over and over that Epstein wasn’t a pedo.

    Shame they either got no backbone, or willing to do their song and dance for whoever got a check. USED TO BE a decent show but now some has-beens.

  • DSA

    DSA is exactly the same as the European social democratic parties in Europe. The same social democratic parties that built Europe’s wealth in the 1940s to 1960s.

    They want health care for all Americans, strong workers’ rights, and strong voting rights.

  • Fauci review

    I have a love hate relationship with your podcast. Fauci’s diary was not his personal home diary. He wrote on his government computer which is open season. If he wanted private he should’ve written it at home. None of you even mentioned it. You also didn’t bother to

    Mention

    all the money he made during the pandemic.

  • Love show but whats big deal on second cousins

    Marrying second cousins is generally not considered a major social taboo or a legal issue, as second cousins share only about 3.1% of their DNA and face near-zero increased genetic risks for children.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Last Night’s State Dinner at the White House
Q: What is the core lesson beyond baseball that readers can apply from the knuckleball story?
The knuckleball demonstrates that exceptional success can come from embracing unconventional methods, patience, and mental focus, showing that not all paths to mastery require elite physical gifts; persistence and innovative thinking can level the playing field.
Ken Paxton's Struggles
Q: What role does outside money play in Paxton's race, and is it affecting the outcome?
The guest and hosts agree that independent expenditures are enormous and may not translate into a decisive win, suggesting that despite massive spending, Paxton's core weaknesses and public perception may limit the effectiveness of TV ads and messaging.
Ken Paxton's Struggles
Q: How much trouble is Ken Paxton in, and what do you make of his decision not to debate?
Nicole Russell explains that polls show Paxton is struggling behind James Talarico and views the decision not to debate as a significant weakness that could hurt his credibility with voters who want accountability and engagement on policy. She notes the advantage to his opponent in shaping the narrative and questions whether Paxton's strategy can overcome the baggage and large spending against him.
Chinese Leader Xi Jinping Meets Trump at the White House
Q: What does VOICE do for victims day-to-day and how does the office fit into the broader administration's approach to immigration policy?
The office offers guidance on criminal and immigration status, signs up victims for victim information exchange (VINE), connects families with local and national resources, and seeks to alleviate the burden of navigating the system, though the guest notes room for improvement and experiences of frustration.
Chinese Leader Xi Jinping Meets Trump at the White House
Q: So what exactly is Voices Charge and tell us a little about the history of the organization itself?
Voices Charge, resurrected to support victims of immigration-related crime, provides immigration case information, DHS VOICE notifications, victim support for immigration-related issues, and social service referrals, aiming to help families navigate complex legal and immigration processes.
