  • The Senate not

    I agree with Joanna we will not win the Senate. The Senate is more important than the House. Without the Senate Trump’s path of destruction will only increase. The end ofTrumpism has always run through the Senate.

    If we don’t win the Senate, we’ve lost this election.

    I’m a pessimist so I hope I’m wrong.

  • Not an impressionist

    Ask your team for HONEST feedback about your Trump impression. Seriously Joanna, give them legit permission to weigh in on your Trump impression. Your Melania impression is OK. You are not, however, an impressionist. If you really think you’re that good with your Trump impression why don’t you take it to a REAL stand-up stage and see what happens! (instead of inflicting it one the captive audience you have on this podcast) At least I can scroll when you start up. Except for your Trump imp... more

  • Lindsey Graham

    David, you are the one who is psychic. Have you been listening to me talking to my girlfriend? I have said that from the beginning and now I feel vindicated. Yes, I believe that Lindsey Graham’s death was more than mysteriously significant. But I’ll go with your. “ No comment”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Trump's About to Get a Surprise Reckoning
Q: What do you think Putin has on Trump?
Scaramucci says he does not know what Putin may have on Trump, but points to Trump's history of actions toward Russia and Ukraine as evidence of his alignment with Putin. He speculates Putin may have recently threatened to expose or damage Trump.
Why Trump's About to Get a Surprise Reckoning
Q: What's your interpretation of it? How do you think it's going to end? And what does Trump get out of alienating all his Western allies?
Scaramucci says a Putin meeting would not necessarily produce full Ukrainian capitulation, arguing Trump wants to present himself as a stable global partner. He says the meeting could further fracture the Republican Party.
These Goons Prove How Trump's Presidency is Doomed
Q: If you were Jared Kushner, who, as we say, has denied these allegations, would you be anxious about an investigatory committee being set up to look into all his business dealings and how they've basically privatized American diplomacy?
Rothkopf says Kushner should be concerned about investigations into his financial dealings and government role, and about potential accountability across multiple jurisdictions.
These Goons Prove How Trump's Presidency is Doomed
Q: What's your interpretation of how Trump will be reading this?
Rothkopf says Trump will see the election results as a warning, while describing them as part of a wider international backlash against authoritarian leaders and corruption.
Why Billions Won’t Save Trump from Crushing Defeat
Q: What happens to all of the corporate suck ups we've met for the past two years, almost two years now?
Coles expects business leaders to pivot toward Democrats, arguing they will protect their companies and shareholder interests; Wolff questions whether Democrats will instead hold them accountable.
