  • Except Thursday Credits

    Love The Headlines and the format—but please label the Fri tape ‘Friday’ when you attach the credits so it doesn’t end up on Thursday. Double take on ‘it is Thursday right?’ follows the wait for a Friday news quiz. Thank you

  • Too Much Trump

    Trump obsessed partisan headlines read by a host with less charm and personality than an AI chatbot. As someone who is left of center and a long time reader of the NYT, I would expect more. The Daily at least pretends to be balanced. That said, I understand this is a business and at the end of the day they need to satisfy their readers. And I am listening. But this isn’t actual news…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Episode: Your Questions About the Iran War, Answered
Q: For many years, it was well understood that closure of the Strait of Hormuz would constitute a grave threat to the worldwide economy. What reporting is there that Trump was warned of this?
The episode references prior reporting that warned of the strategic risk to Hormuz and indicates that this warning was noted by military and White House officials, with various international leaders offering a range of perspectives on how to handle the risk.
Special Episode: Your Questions About the Iran War, Answered
Q: Hartley from New York asked, how the people of Iran feel about the war, particularly since the Iranian regime has been so unpopular?
There is no single answer; early after the leader's death crowds celebrated, but broader sentiment is mixed due to heavy internet restrictions and divergent views between pro-regime blocs and Iranians who feel the regime remains in place amid ongoing destruction.
Special Episode: Your Questions About the Iran War, Answered
Q: First up, Josh from DC asked, what is the best estimate for spending on the war? And is there a comparison for what that amount of money would have covered if spent elsewhere, like housing, health care, education?
The hosts explain that precise figures aren't available yet and spending is fluctuating daily, with analysts estimating around a billion dollars per day, which highlights how much funding is being consumed by the conflict and could be redirected to domestic programs if peace or different priorities were pursued.
