  • Dumbed Down

    This is the news dumbed down for dumb people. When a story is too complicated to explain to dumb people, they spend the hour talking about the reporter's "experience" and feelings or do useless man on the street style interviews. They think you're dumb... and they might be right.

  • New hosts

    The content of the show is generally excellent. I pause before each episode though, hoping it’s not Barbarro. His Captain Kirk-esque patternofspeech AND veryodd … intonation completely detract from the actual content of the show. The new hosts make it about the story and guests, not themselves. Very appreciative. I hope Barbarro is open to coaching or it may be time to give the new hosts more airtime.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Canada Is Done With Trump
Q: How did the talks with the U.S. unfold and why did they ultimately fail?
Talks started with optimism and several concessions from Canada, but the U.S. insisted on broad controls over Canada's trade policy and demanded concessions that would limit Canada's sovereignty, including alignment on tariff policy with third countries and streaming content rules. Canada judged the offers as insufficient and potentially devastating to critical industries, leading Carney to walk away.
Canada Is Done With Trump
Q: What is Prime Minister Carney's strategic plan for dealing with a prolonged trade war with the United States?
Carney intends to protect the domestic economy by public spending to support hurt industries, build international alliances, and use targeted retaliatory tariffs to pressure the U.S. while avoiding broad concessions that would undermine Canadian sovereignty. His approach prioritizes long-term independence and diversification away from the U.S. market.
The Fight for the West Bank
Q: What was it like to see your brother when you arrived again after this began?
Emotional and powerful to hug a brother after such a long time apart, and the moment underscored the personal stakes of this conflict.
The Fight for the West Bank
Q: Loui, how did your wife and your children feel about you flying back to the West Bank at a moment where it is so much more dangerous?
They were terrified and worried, especially about the youngest child, and I reassured them I would be safe while fully aware that the danger was real.
Ina Garten Says You Can Either Get on Her Train or Get Out of the Way
Q: Why did you want to have a podcast, and how does it relate to your TV work?
She wanted a platform to connect with guests in a more intimate, ongoing way and to explore conversations beyond traditional cooking shows, emphasizing audience value and personal stories.
