  • Great show!!

    Great show. Comment for Michael - please don’t settle the lawsuit for a paltry prize. If your lawsuit, and the attendant cross-examinations of the President and First Lady (sorry, it autocorrects to capitalize “FL”) are such a threat to them, why would you consider trading that away for a promise of press freedom? Firstly, those freedoms exist already (on paper). Paying a ransom suggests that they are negotiable. Secondly, we should maximally exploit the weaknesses of this threat to our nation.

  • Joanna is great

    I found this podcast a few months ago, I’d not heard of Joanna before, but she’s great and is a great host, plus in general I like the guests they get on.

    But I do have a problem with Michael Wolff, he has a boring arrogance to the way he talks, which is fine, my biggest issue is he seems to get a pass for being someone who clearly was close to Jeffery Epstein.

    The podcast is interesting, but that but does frustrate me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Know Secrets of Trump's Hold Over These Cowards
Q: What do you think about Kristi Noem's relationship with Corey Lewandowski and what it signals about leadership and priorities in today's GOP?
The guest suggests the core issue is not the personal relationship, but how Noem 'fucked the Constitution' and the immigrant community, implying that policy decisions and governance ethics are the real measure of leadership.
How Trump's War Has Triggered New Axis of Evil
Q: How does the administration's approach compare to past war-making decisions in terms of process and accountability?
There is a noted lack of NSC involvement, planning, and Congressional authorization, signaling a shift toward executive unilateral action without transparent decision-making.
How Trump's War Has Triggered New Axis of Evil
Q: What is driving the administration to take this escalation against Iran, and is there a credible national security rationale?
The guest argues the move is driven more by internal political considerations, personal vendettas, and pressure from regional allies like Netanyahu, rather than a solid national security justification supported by clear intelligence.
What Trump Really Wants Out of Deadly War: Wolff
Q: What drives Trump's push to go to war, and how is victory framed in his thinking?
The episode suggests Trump is obsessed with achieving a win and treats foreign policy as a staged performance aimed at delivering a clear, noticeable victory rather than pursuing long-term stability.
I Know Why War Time Trump Is Out of His Depth
Q: How did you observe the communication and messaging around military actions, and why does mixed messaging matter?
He notes that clear, consistent messaging is crucial for public and congressional support, and that the administration's inconsistent messaging weakened the legitimacy of actions and complicated diplomacy with allies.
