  • 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’s Fox meltdown, Karoline Leavitt’s money & pneumonic plague
Q: What explains the discrepancy between polling and actual voting behavior in Wisconsin and nationally?
Crowley explains that polls provide snapshots and can miss dynamic late shifts, undecided voters, and ground-level enthusiasm; he also stresses that elections are influenced by turnout, energy, and local issues, not just national sentiment.
Trump erupts as Fed raises rates and TX Senate race stuns
Q: As governor, what strategies would you employ to shore up tourism and economic health in Nevada amid national political headwinds?
The guest discusses direct outreach, international engagements, leveraging state-specific policies like data center tax treatment, and presenting a strong pro-Nevadan leadership stance to reassure tourists and investors despite national political concerns.
Trump erupts as Fed raises rates and TX Senate race stuns
Q: What is the constitutional framework for elections and does the president have control over state election processes?
The guest explains that states run elections and Congress has limited authority in that area; the president cannot unilaterally dictate election procedures, and legal challenges or lawsuits can be used to challenge presidential attempts to influence election administration.
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 guest or host discusses public statements, actions, and expert opinions suggesting Trump has advocated or hinted at unprecedented measures, but stresses that these are predictions and not proven plans, emphasizing the need to examine the public record and context.
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.
