Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 2: Trump's Peace Plan "More Chamberlain than it is Churchill"
Q: You make a point that when you're in Flint, Michigan, that the campaign, the two campaigns, Republican and Democratic, might be virtually invisible on the streets, but inescapable on social media. What do you mean?
Duggan says campaigns rely heavily on television advertising and political action committee spending, while candidates also work through door-knocking and local events that can be easy to miss unless people know they are happening.
Episode 2: Trump's Peace Plan "More Chamberlain than it is Churchill"
Q: Now let's talk about Ukraine first of all, relations between the administration and Ukraine at a very low ebb. And Zelensky himself, he seems to have decided it's time to stop babying President Trump.
Bruen says Zelensky is appealing to European leaders and the next Congress as Trump's political strength is expected to weaken, and that the next Congress will shape future Ukraine support.
Episode 1: "Why sell your soul for half a day's fuel?"
Q: The diesel deal itself doesn't seem to make sense. It may actually be illegal in the United States, but it's less than one day's US consumption of diesel. So why sell your political soul for half a day's worth of fuel?
Richard Haas says the administration may not have considered the consequences carefully, but the deal benefits Russia and fits a broader pattern of US policy tilting toward Putin without gaining anything in return.
Episode 1: "Why sell your soul for half a day's fuel?"
Q: Can the Democrats take the House? Can they take the Senate?
TJ Mulloy says Democrats have a strong chance of winning the House and could also take the Senate, citing competitive races and economic discontent in states that have usually voted Republican.
