  • Great Scott!

    Just found out Scott is gone. Thought he was on vacation but apparently not. Love me some Jeremy but Scott is the straw that stirs the drink. Dissipating

  • Missing Braddock

    Not sure why Scott Braddock suddenly left the pod workout explanation, but it's simply not a good show without him. Jeremy is a good reporter, but he doesn't have personality to be the primary host. I guess it's time for me to move on as well.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Donald Trump Ever Endorse John Cornyn?
Q: What happens next for Mexico? Do we start doing some strikes on the ground in Mexico now? Does this open the door a little bit more for us to do that?
It's a vastly different situation. In a country like Mexico, our goal is to work by with and through the Mexicans and use our leverage to increase that cooperation.
No Boots on the Ground
Q: Talk to me about, like, you know, again, you grew up partly, at least, in this region. What was Venezuela in that region like before we saw Chavez?
Back then, Venezuela was a wonderful country, a vast tourist destination with a strong GDP.
No Boots on the Ground
Q: First, tell us about why you think this is legal and constitutional.
The legality is straightforward; this is a warrant execution, not an act of war.
Jasmine Crockett on Latino voters and Israel
Q: What is your position on Israel?
Crockett explains that misconceptions about her stance have circulated, clarifying her record on military aid and her belief in separating the people from their government.
Jasmine Crockett on Latino voters and Israel
Q: How do you speak to the Hispanic community to assure them of your support?
Crockett emphasizes her love for the Brown community and her ongoing efforts to advocate for them, even if some may have voted for Trump.
