  • Let them eat tariffs

    Regular listener but…”the climate is an issue but WHAT about the climate”? Read more if you’re going to bring this into a podcast. Credibility goes down significantly.

  • Remember They Are Still Republicans

    I listen to your discussions because I’m interested in hearing various intelligent viewpoints. But it’s important for listeners to know you are STILL Republicans and Mike Madrid is still being paid by Republicans, like in Madrid’s help AGAINST the CA Redistricting Initiative trying to pushback against the cheating Republicans.

  • The Downfall

    This podcast used to be a great one. It was an anti Trump pro democracy show. But ever since Trump won his second term, it’s become a Trump apologists podcast. So embarrassing. I can no longer listen anymore. It’s a pro Trump anti Democratic show now. I don’t know if they become scared of Trump and hi followers, or just returned back to their republican roots. Such a shame.

    I appreciate the voices and perspectives from along the political spectrum. But lately there have been a lot of repeat episodes and not much new content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ENCORE: Testimony—Part 1
Q: Why write it and why now?
I knew that there was a lot to think through and work through about my background, especially with the rise of Donald Trump, making the storytelling more relevant.
ENCORE: Testimony—Part 2
Q: What needs to happen for that to grow from a small spark to a flame?
There needs to be a genuine investment in face-to-face conversations that allow for understanding and dialogue about the underlying issues in evangelicalism.
Is America a Creed or a Tribe?
Q: Can Latinos be good stewards of the American experiment?
It is suggested that Latinos, due to their unique cultural background, can indeed be good stewards, but this potential is threatened by the older generation's refusal to pass down progressive values.
Is America a Creed or a Tribe?
Q: How can this Latinization of America reconnect us with the core values that have not been passed down?
The discussion suggests that Latinos might preserve and protect the American experiment by embracing and enhancing its core ideals, even as they face rejection from those in power.
“Let Them Eat Tariffs”—The Weekly
Q: How do you handle the divide between the party leadership and the base regarding populism?
