Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Constitution Is Not A Rage Button
Q: What is the process to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president?
The vice president and a majority of the cabinet would have to declare the president unfit, send written declarations to the Speaker of the House, after which the president pro tempore and the vice president assume acting president; the president can challenge with a written declaration, and the process can be escalated with Congress voting within deadlines to determine whether the vice president remains acting president, with a two-thirds majority in both chambers required to permanently remove the president from power during that period.
If Israel Claims A Right To Exist It Must Name Its Borders
Q: Do you feel that Israel has a right to exist within secure borders?
Yes, but the borders must be clearly defined and cannot allow for continued settlements or occupation of neighboring territories. The right to exist should come with explicit boundaries.
Cuba Sanctions To Masked ICE And The Coming AI Job Shock
Q: Is AI truly going to replace humans across knowledge work, or is this overhyped?
The guest argues that while many mundane cognitive tasks will be automated, the pace and scope of AI disruption will accelerate, with significant substitution in software development and knowledge work, though not uniformly across all jobs.
Hope Is Not Optimism And That’s The Point
Q: Do you feel that Israel has a right to exist within secure borders?
The guest argues for a nuanced, non-absolute right to exist, emphasizing clear definitions of borders and the need for recognition of Palestinian rights, while criticizing unconditional support for settlement expansion.
Project 2025 In Power
Q: Remind us what Project 2025 contained and who else was behind it?
The Heritage Foundation authored it as a blueprint for a potential Trump presidency, with Russ Vought one of the main authors and others like Peter Navarro and Brendan Carr contributing sections related to trade, the FCC, and sanctions policy.
