Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bought and Sold
Q: So, does all this money actually help anyone win?
While financial contributions help in campaigning (e.g., ads, rallies), the candidate who receives the most support does not always win due to various influencing factors.
Bought and Sold
Q: What is Professor Hasen's take on the current state of things?
His take is that the campaign finance system on the federal level is not functioning well, evidenced by various issues like the ineffectiveness of the FEC.
The Imperial Presidency
Q: What does an election mean for a president's power?
An election provides a mandate for change, but makes it easier for a president to experiment with executive powers outside traditional checks and balances.
The Imperial Presidency
Q: Kelsey, did I miss something? Did the Supreme Court really make presidents above the law?
The Supreme Court's ruling essentially provides presidents with broad immunity from criminal prosecutions, which raises concerns about their accountability.
Love Is a Lie
Q: Are dating platforms incentivized to weed out bad actors?
Kevin Lewis explains that while users want the sites to address scam issues, there is a murky business incentive that may not compel platforms to eliminate fake accounts.
