  • I LOVE THE DISPATCH

    I am a center right listener. If you want consistency fair, true, and honest journalism, this is the place

    On another note. If you are listening to the episode JD Vance war on fraud, and you get to the part on the recession of teenage dating, another factor they missed is pornography. From what I have seen, it plays into the phenomenon to a large extent

    I’m not sure where you’re shopping to be paying $16 a gallon for milk. I think it might be time to shop somewhere else.

  • Not objective

    Marketed as objective but clearly not. They need to buy a mirror and do some self reflection. Clearly there is extremism on both sides and they claim to be the conservative confronters of the extreme right but their definition of the extreme ropes in far more approaching near moderates. They seem to be on mission to sell a less than conservative agenda. That is giving liberals justification to dislike conservatives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump’s Grip on the GOP Holds
Q: How does Trump's influence shape candidate behavior in upcoming races like Texas or Kentucky?
Hosts argue that Trump's influence creates incentives for candidates to align with his base, often at the expense of traditional party positions, and that incumbents may face primary challenges if they do not demonstrate unwavering loyalty.
Why is Trump Relitigating the 2020 Election?
Q: Stephen, could you run our audience through what the hand recount involved and what it found?
The hand recount involved bipartisan teams counting every electoral ballot, and while there were minor discrepancies, none were material enough to affect the election results.
Why is Trump Relitigating the 2020 Election?
Q: Stephen, why is Fulton County in the news at all six years after Joe Biden was elected president?
Fulton County remains relevant due to ongoing investigations into the 2020 election and the recent FBI seizure of materials regarding alleged election irregularities.
What Comes Next for Trump’s Tariff Agenda?
Q: What are the likely implications for businesses and tariffs moving forward?
There's an expectation that new tariffs will continue as the administration seeks justifications for them despite the Court's ruling.
What Comes Next for Trump’s Tariff Agenda?
Q: What was your reaction to the Supreme Court's decision regarding tariffs?
Relief, quite frankly; the decision itself was basically expected by most legal observers.
