  • Why the Couch F'er chose Catholicism

    You all are giving Vance way too much credit. The reason him and PT landed on Catholicism is very simple. Everyone loved JFK and he was Catholic. PT and Vance are trying to position him as the "Republican JFK" (vomit). In other words, it is simply for looks. He will drop it like a hot potato if he doesn't get the 2028 presidential nomination..

  • The nerve of that man

    I will never listen to another episode with Michael Wolff, apparently I have a lot more respect for you than you have for yourself Joanna.

    His arrogance is disgusting.

  • Interview with Kurt Anderson

    This interview certainly made me sit up and and take note. An absolute load of utter, padded out frivolous drivel punctuated with Joanna’s « ums and anyways ; we’ve loads to talk about ». A truer word would be let’s speculate. Because really that’s all you’re doing and you don’t need a news podcast for that! The trigger for me was calling Jeremy Corbyn an anti-semite (as campaigned by the Daily Mail et al) and agreeing that Boris Johnson was a good politician !!! Very revealing indeed. Tells me... more

  • Wolff is tedious

    It’s always more interesting when Joanna is with someone who’s not so invested in one-upmanship.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Ditches GOP in Secret Midterm Panic
Q: What do you think of this strategy of centering Trump in the midterms?
The guest explains that while Trump's branding could boost turnout, there is a significant risk of overwhelming local races and complicating the messaging for individual candidates, potentially undermining the party's broader strategy.
Why Natalie Harp Is Trump's Most Sinister Goon
Q: Why did you choose to set the book in the near future and make it not dystopian?
The author explains that the aim was to present a plausible evolution of current conditions without tipping into pure dystopia, keeping the focus on people and relationships amid transformative political and technological shifts.
Why Trump's In The Deepest Hole of His Life: Guru
Q: Why is Trump's foreign policy being framed as destabilizing to U.S. alliances?
Rothkopf explains that Trump's actions have weakened traditional alliances, undermined military readiness, and emboldened adversaries by signaling unpredictable U.S. commitments.
Judges Destroy Trump in Utter Ballroom Humiliation
Q: What is the central legal issue surrounding the White House ballroom project?
The core issue is whether the White House can proceed with the ballroom demolition and construction without Congressional funding or permission, and whether the courts can halt the work while the matter is appealed, given originalist debates about Congressional authority over the executive residence.
Truth About What Melania Really Does Is Exposed
Q: What is the impact of Melania's absence on the presidency and family dynamics?
The hosts and guests discuss that Melania's absence creates a sense of distance in the White House, with Ivanka's role and influence varying, and suggest that the dynamic is complex and not straightforward to judge.
