    Hey maybe the 9 year old who intersperses annoying commercials in the middle of the back and forth between Molly and David should have the controls taken away?

  • Iran USA MOU

    I am with you David. Trump should hold out for Iran to hand over uranium and do something about genocide of the poor Iranian people who are tired of their conditions for past 48 years. They’ve suffered enough. Also, we need to protect Israel and the rest of Middle East who are at risk of continued conflict and continued Strait of Hormuz conflict.

  • Talking about late night shows….

    No mention of Craig Ferguson? Sure, he was on after the late shows but he was funny and never got into politics. You can find reruns on YouTube, very entertaining.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bringing Balance Back To Americans’ Airwaves Feat. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr
Q: How does the FCC view the ongoing Disney/ABC licensing and View bonafide news proceeding?
The FCC is currently evaluating whether Disney's ABC stations have operated in the public interest, and whether The View qualifies as bonafide news; all parties are invited to comment, but the agency will apply the law and rely on established standards rather than political pressure.
Bringing Balance Back To Americans’ Airwaves Feat. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr
Q: What is the core purpose of the Political Equal Time Rule and its exceptions?
The rule was designed to prevent broadcasters from tilting elections by giving one candidate unequal access, while the bonafide news exception allows some programs to operate without offering equal time, as long as they are genuinely news-oriented and not politically motivated.
'You're Wrong' With Mollie Hemingway and David Harsanyi, Ep. 206: The Worst SCOTUS Decision Of All Time?
Q: Can you explain why you think the birthright citizenship decision is among the worst in US history?
The guest argues that the ruling redefines citizenship in a way that expands state power over sovereignty and sets a dangerous precedent, potentially undermining the original understanding of the 14th Amendment and altering long-standing social and political dynamics.
The Ultimate Supreme Court Debrief With Mollie Hemingway And Shawn Fleetwood
Q: What should we be looking for in the days to come from the Court, especially on issues like women's sports and transgender rights?
We should expect further discussion on whether transgender status is a suspect class, with possible majority opinions in Idaho and West Virginia cases and continued scrutiny of how lower courts apply these standards, along with anticipation of birthright citizenship rulings and the next set of immigration-related decisions.
The Ultimate Supreme Court Debrief With Mollie Hemingway And Shawn Fleetwood
Q: Can you tell me, was there anything interesting after the court handed down a few decisions on Tuesday, June 23rd?
Yes, Blanche v. Lau was a key immigration-related ruling where the Court unanimously upheld executive parole authority under the INA, reinforcing that immigration enforcement is an executive function with deference to the administration.
