  • Stop the vocal fry, for pity’s sake

    Latest one on dementia I really wanted to hear but the amount of vocal fry in the reporter’s voice made it unlistenable. Scratch city.

    The Daily is one of my favorite podcasts. I learn something new every time I listen to it, even around topics I think I am well informed on. My one complaint: Natalie’s voice! Natalie, maybe be more musical, less monotoned? Something!

    I am highly skeptical of so called trump accounts. it’s trump, he never does anything unless he can personally make money off of it. I have s feeling that trump skims off the accounts and at some point you are going to lose the money you have put into the accounts and trump & family will once again make off like bandits and the regular family once again will get screwed.

  • Better with it Lulu

    I rarely finish episodes hosted by Lulu Garcia-Navarro. She often pushes the same question long after it’s clear the guest won’t answer, making interviews feel repetitive instead of insightful. I listen for the guests, but her style usually keeps me from finishing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ICE Ramps Back Up, With Deadly Results
Q: What happened in Houston and Maine, and what do we know so far?
Two shootings occurred—one in Houston where an ICE vehicle stopped a van and a man inside the van was killed, and another in Biddeford, Maine, where a driver was shot after a vehicle allegedly tried to flee; in both cases, officials say officers feared for public safety, but there is significant disagreement and ongoing investigations.
Why the Cease-Fire With Iran Keeps Crumbling
Q: And can you just explain, David, these three channels, why are they only suggesting that that one should be open?
David explains that Iran argued for one channel opening nearest its coast, with the others remaining closed, which creates a loophole in the original “open” wording and leads to divergent interpretations between the two sides.
More Trump Tariffs Are Coming
Q: How does Greer respond to public concerns about cost of living and inflation linked to tariffs?
He contends that inflation is driven by multiple factors beyond tariffs, and while tariffs contribute to price increases in goods, they are not the sole cause; he points to long‑term goals like reshoring and wage growth as reasons to persevere with the policy.
More Trump Tariffs Are Coming
Q: What is Greer's view on alliances and unilateral moves against China, and how does he justify action against allies as part of US policy?
Greer argues that policy must prioritize American interests and that unilateral measures are sometimes necessary because other countries act in their own interests and are slower to move; he acknowledges the strain on alliances but insists the policy is about shaping terms of trade and protecting the US economy.
More Trump Tariffs Are Coming
Q: Ana Swanson asks how Greer's team determined the tariffs were working and what evidence supports that claim.
Greer cites metrics such as manufacturing productivity, overtime hours, and rising wages in certain sectors, along with declines in the trade deficit with some partners, while noting that the overall impact on inflation and broader manufacturing share of GDP is mixed and takes time to unfold.
