  • The most reasonable voice in politics

    I never miss Chuck’s podcast. Gives an inside view of what is really discussed behind the scenes among both liberals and conservatives. Some say he’s a centrist - he calls himself an incrementalist. I appreciate he is always digging for the truth.

  • Love this podcast

    This is one of my favorite podcasts. Though I don’t always agree with everything Chuck says, I appreciate his reasoning behind it. And I appreciate he doesn’t expect us to agree with everything the says. In fact, he invites conversations with people he may not agree with. There are a lot of ads, as others mentioned, but those don’t bother me because I skip them. I learn something new every episode which helps in my conversations about the world. Thanks Chuck!

  • Please get some new ads

    Like many have already said, too many of the same commercials every 20 minutes of Chuck. Been listening to Cindy Crawford complain about how people give her bad compliments for a year now.

    Cassidy might be your friendly acquaintance but he irreparably ruined the health of this country and the world by confirming Kennedy. That is an unforgivable offense.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Episode - Reaction to Tuesday's elections + Failure for Trump in Iran + Can America Live Up to Its Founding Principles?
Q: How should liberals and conservatives approach reading this book?
Liberals are encouraged to see the principles of equality and restraint in policymaking, while conservatives are urged to consider how national rhetoric can mask unfairness and undermine democratic processes, with emphasis on civic virtues over partisan triumph.
Chuck's Commentary - Reaction to Tuesday's elections + Failure for Trump in Iran
Q: What about the college football playoff format—could a model like FCS merit-based with no committees work in the FBS?
A merit-based approach focusing on on-field results could work for seeding, but maintaining a committee for seating might be necessary to ensure fairness and consistency across a larger, more complex system.
Chuck's Commentary - Reaction to Tuesday's elections + Failure for Trump in Iran
Q: Does the Iran deal give Iran leverage, and does that affect US diplomacy going into November?
Yes, there is clear Iranian leverage due to sanctions relief and access to funds, which could influence how aggressively the administration negotiates and whether it relaunches action before the elections.
The Chris Mullin Interview: Run TMC, The Dream Team and Steph Curry
Q: What was your philosophy in assembling the We Believe team?
Mullin explains that assembling that core was about aligning complementary strengths, building in-gym chemistry, and prioritizing a competitive, playoff-ready mindset while leveraging trades and draft picks to fit the evolving roster.
Full Episode - The Real Cost of Trump's Iran Gamble + Ian Bremmer on How the Iran War Reshaped Global Power
Q: Is there a legal way to constrain presidential war powers when Congress wants to stop a conflict?
The War Powers Act is toothless in practice; Congress can leverage funding, but in highly polarized times that leverage is weak, and it's unlikely to be overridden without broad, supermajority support.
