  • Improve Audio For Call In Guest

    The interviews with David near the end of the show are very hard to hear and we look forward to that segment. The segment before that with the other radio host who focuses on sports... is clearer but is always our least favorite.

    I find it frustrating that episodes are not dated. Less chatting and more real news. Can we still go to the dentist?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The "Insurrection Act" and Trump's Intentions
Q: Do we know any details of the deal regarding hostages?
President Trump's 20-point plan details swapping hostages for Hamas members, but specifics about compliance and public sentiment towards the plan remain uncertain.
The "Insurrection Act" and Trump's Intentions
Q: What are the steps and what are the safeguards here, Rob?
Invoking the Insurrection Act requires justification, and federal judges have to weigh whether conditions meet the law's criteria; factors include public perception and the role of the courts in maintaining legitimacy.
The "Insurrection Act" and Trump's Intentions
Q: What is the mood inside the White House right now?
No one feels like they're winning; there's an acknowledgment that the public won't see glory from Washington amidst the shutdown and rising flight delays.
The "Insurrection Act" and Trump's Intentions
Q: Can you sort this out for us?
Back pay issue for furloughed workers is largely a negotiation tactic by the White House to pressure Democrats, but there's broad support among lawmakers for all federal workers to receive back pay during shutdowns.
The Possibility of Guard Troops in Seattle
Q: What is the reaction to President Trump's comments on Seattle being war-ravaged?
It's considered laughable, as recent events do not support such descriptions of the city.
