Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Candidate Corner: Claire Valdez for NY-7
Q: But is there any position that you have that's unpopular?
Valdez frames unpopular stances as necessary for bold reform, explains that popular opinions have shifted over time, and reinforces the idea that standing for transformative labor and housing policies may encounter resistance but is essential for progress.
Candidate Corner: Marissa Roy
Q: What would you do about housing specifically as city attorney?
Roy emphasizes aggressive use of the city's power to enforce tenants' rights, curb wage theft, prevent unlawful evictions, and push for housing stability, noting prior successes in tenant protections and the need for LA to mirror those efforts locally.
Candidate Corner: Marissa Roy
Q: How could a city attorney fight the Trump administration and protect residents from ICE?
Roy argues that the city attorney is among the most powerful positions to combat federal overreach through litigation, and that proactive enforcement against federal actions can shield residents; she also emphasizes prosecuting ICE and holding contract partners accountable.
Candidate Corner: Marissa Roy
Q: Explain your current role and what a City Attorney does, and how it differs from the DA.
Roy outlines that the City Attorney in Los Angeles has broad powers to sue businesses for unlawful practices, protecting consumers and tenants, and that this role can go after big tech and protect everyday people, contrasting it with the narrower scope of a district attorney who focuses on criminal prosecutions.
Cuban Solidarity Grows and Beating AIPAC w/ Cori Bush & Christy Thornton (Ep 325)
Q: What has been happening in Cuba recently?
Cuba has faced severe economic stress due to the embargo and loss of oil imports, leading to outages, shortages in healthcare, and a need for humanitarian aid; there have been private-sector openings and protests, but the blockade constrains reform.
