4.6 out of 5 stars from 10.9k ratings
  • Insight to darkness

    Interesting but the subject is Trump. So there is no way to avoid it being a bit repetitive. Also dismissing everyone at NYT as not credible. Smells a little bit like Trumps “fake news” dismissing reporter as collective.

    4/20

    This episode with Kurt Anderson was much more enjoyable than anything you’ve done with Michael Wolff.

    Kurt and you each had your own opinions, but it wasn’t a disagreeable banter. Michael is straight up rude.

    Michael is disagreeable and rude. He is annoying.

  • Can’t Joanna find someone to talk with who isn’t a boorish know-it-all?

    Bye!

    I’m out. I like Joanna, but I can’t listen to Michael Wolf anymore. He’s rude, impatient, and condescending to his lovely co-host.

    STOP letting Michael Wolf cut you off. I love listening to you but I am getting frustrated with him constantly butting in. Your topics are interesting and provide thought provoking conversations.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Supposed Epstein Note Is ‘Hard to Believe’
Q: So Glenn, does the president or how does the president also get held accountable? I mean, obviously we know from the SCOTUS ruling that he has almost 100% immunity from things that he does as a president. Were he to be voted out? Let's assume in 2028, there are elections that president Trump is still with us, but he then leaves peacefully and is replaced by someone else. What would be or is there a way of holding him accountable?
There are legitimate channels: re-indictment after he leaves office in non-immunity contexts, pursuing cases that survived past immunity in the classified documents and January 6 prosecutions, and using a robust, apolitical investigation to build a conspiracy-based case if warranted. Accountability depends on will and the ability to litigate until resolution, including the possibility of retrying cases once immunity no longer applies.
How 'Senile' Trump Is a Danger to Our Country: Rep
Q: Is there anything Congress can do in this situation?
The guest explains constitutional requirements for declaring war and argues that Congress must assert its authority rather than accepting ongoing executive decisions.
How 'Senile' Trump Is a Danger to Our Country: Rep
Q: What do you make of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of War?
The guest criticizes Hegseth as an unreliable figure, suggesting dangerous misstatements and poor leadership that undermines the war effort and national security.
How Melania Is Trump’s Insider Threat: Wolff
Q: How might the royal visit influence the Trump presidency's international perception?
They argue that King Charles and Camilla could provide a more diplomatic counterbalance to Trump's style, potentially shaping NATO and allied perceptions, while also highlighting the theater of state visits and the importance of image management in diplomacy.
How Melania Is Trump’s Insider Threat: Wolff
Q: What is the latest on Melania's involvement with the Jimmy Kimmel incident?
The guest and hosts discuss Melania's responses and the White House's media strategy, noting how the episode amplified questions about her role, her relationship with Trump, and potential legal or reputational implications related to Epstein and other controversies.
