  • Lindsay Clancy

    Disappointed in your coverage on the Lindsay Clancy trial. If you are going to cover it, do so with some education on the topic. The reason women are backing her is because she tried to get help and the system failed her. No one is saying what she did was right. This is shedding light on a topic that needs to be talked about. Two men discussing this case and saying it’s “cut and dry” is gross.

  • David’s a delight!

    Measured, insightful and delightfully self-deprecating. He also shares his frustration with detractors who seem to leave many,many posts on Fridays.

    Also, Thanks for playing the Alex Jones “OH! THE BONUS SHOW!!” Clip again. Been missing it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump puts himself on the ballot as election alarms grow
Q: What evidence is there that Trump would try to interfere with the midterms if Republicans lose?

The warning signs are suddenly everywhere
Q: Can you talk a little bit about that risk calculation aspect of this that you mentioned, because one of the things I think is interesting about your upcoming book Think Like a Doctor, is you go through the process of explaining how physicians think about risk and uncertainty.
Dr. Rubin explains that doctors assess risk by communicating clearly about common, less common, and rare risks, comparing vaccination risks with disease risks, and acknowledging practical limits like short patient visits, which makes shared decision-making challenging but essential.
Trump supporters suddenly realize what they signed up for
Q: What does JD Vance's interview reveal about belief in 'doing God's work' and the end times, and how should we interpret a VP expressing that view publicly?
The answer summarizes that the host views the exchange as highly unusual for a national leader, raising questions about how personal beliefs intersect with policy decisions and national security.
Trump supporters suddenly realize what they signed up for
Q: Should Americans be judging you based on the predictions you made about the Iran war and its duration?
The host presses that question, pushing for accountability on projections; the guest responses suggest that prediction is inherently risky and that outcomes can reveal miscalculations, emphasizing the need to reassess approaches when forecasts prove wrong.
Trump pushes legal limits as election bombshell drops
Q: Can you outline that case that you make for liberal democracy's crisis and how we've transitioned from an industrial to a post-industrial society?
Acemoglu explains that liberal democracy's challenges stem from structural changes in the economy, where automation and digital technology shift power toward capital and platforms, necessitating new governing approaches that connect wage growth with shared prosperity.
