Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

10-19-26 Part One - Paris Under Siege
Q: Is the investigation of Ilhan Omar simply an immigration fraud investigation, or does the federal government have reason to investigate other wrongdoing?

10-19-26 Part One - Paris Under Siege
Q: Is Elissa Slotkin's call for a deterrence message against people taking jobs in the Trump administration a threat?
Mandis characterizes her remarks as a warning that people who work for the administration could face prosecution, while Slotkin says she wants to deter young people from taking those jobs.
10-20-26 Part Two - A Geological Find of Biblical Proportions
Q: Being from south of Albuquerque, what do you think about Donald Trump saying New Mexico should change its name to New America?
The caller opposes the idea, saying it makes no sense to rename a state and that Trump's actions are hurting conservative candidates in New Mexico.
10-21-26 Part Two - Rediscovering Noah's Ark
Q: What do you think it would take for them to say, well, gosh, I guess it is Noah's Ark?
Fisher says some skeptics would not be persuaded by evidence short of seeing animals leave the Ark. He argues that acceptance would challenge their beliefs about the Bible and God.
10-21-26 Part Two - Rediscovering Noah's Ark
Q: Why has it taken so long for crews to get in there, and what's the holdup in somebody being able to say this is definitively Noah's Ark?
Fisher says officials have not issued an excavation permit because, in his view, a failed excavation could be seen as contradicting the Quran. He adds that drilling and scanning have been allowed and that test results are expected.
