  • Hey W Afghan and 2004 Iraq war guys David snd Tom

    I’m a little nobody who knew the wars were not winnable and watched in horror when they were started who took a parent plus loan for one of my children (solo parent, death of spouse) whose loan went from a variable 2.41% (and potentially lower) to 8.9% fixed per act of Congress in 2006 to pay for your war in Iraq. You impoverished me. Loan would have been paid in 2010. Still paying now. I would like to hear more humility from you.

  • No inviting Trump to the 2027 SOTU

    David,

    If you think for 2-seconds that Hakeem Jeffries or any other Dem for that matter have the balls or the political skills to NOT invite Trump to the 2027 SOTU you have left all your senses behind.

    Great idea not going to happen.

    Thanks for playing

  • A philosopher among us

    David provides us with rational thought, comprehensive data and deep review of these crazy times. His analysis cuts through the emotional nonsense and irrationality of the extreme left and right. Bravo!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Democrats Actually Win in Texas?
Q: Here's the first question. What is your interpretation of Texas politics as it stands after March 3rd?
Texas is in a moments-long surge of political energy for Democrats, with a full slate of candidates and a window to turn out new voters, but structural challenges like voter suppression and Republican advantages in some areas still loom large; the key will be mobilizing turnout while persuasively connecting with diverse communities across the state.
Trump’s War With Iran and a New Danger at Home
Q: What is the core concern about the current war with Iran?
