  • Doesn’t report on news

    It feels as though she’s so concerned about being unbiased that she never really reports on news. I feel there are better news resources who can report on what is happening in an unbiased way, she is not it.

  • Really used to love SHN, but she’s doing an awful job covering this administration

    I used to be a smarther news stan. I recommended her social channels and podcast so frequently, people stopped asking “where did you hear that” and started saying “oh is that from smarther news?” whenever I would start sharing things people didn’t know about. However, we are now 11 months into the most diabolical and despicable administration of recent history, and she has not once accurately (or at all) covered the very real threat to American citizens that is ICE, she has completely sympathize... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rare Insight Into President Trump's Historic Trip To China
Q: How does Xi Jinping's consolidation of power affect regional security and our allies in Asia?
Consolidation tightens Beijing's grip on policy, but also raises the risk of missteps and miscommunications with neighbors and allies, potentially increasing incidents at sea or in the air that require careful diplomatic navigation by the U.S. and partners.
Rare Insight Into President Trump's Historic Trip To China
Q: What do you think about this meeting between Trump and Xi, and what message is the world receiving about the U.S.-China relationship?
The relationship is likely to remain pragmatic and transactional, with both sides seeking stability while signaling stronger positions on strategic issues, but underlying tensions and power struggles in Beijing complicate long-term predictability.
"INSANE IN THE BRAIN": Sec. Rubio on Iran & America's New "Project Freedom"
Q: Why is this Project Freedom initiative being pursued now and why should Americans care?
Rubio frames it as safeguarding global trade and the American economy by ensuring freedom of navigation, deterring coercive control of critical shipping lanes, and gathering international support through diplomacy and the UN.
Serial Killer Caught: The Backstory of A Surprise Guilty Plea
Q: What motivated Heuermann to plead guilty, and how did his comportment in court appear to observers?
Observers noted a lack of contrition and described his demeanor as apathetic; speculation suggested the plea was a way to spare his family further embarrassment or distress, though the overall motivation remains complex and debated.
Serial Killer Caught: The Backstory of A Surprise Guilty Plea
Q: What role did new DNA technology play in this case, and could it change future prosecutions?
Nuclear DNA testing on rootless hairs by Astraea allowed linking Heuermann and his family to the victims, and the Frye hearing validated its admissibility, potentially setting a precedent that could enable prosecutions in similar cold cases without more traditional DNA material.
