  • Such biase

    Another frustrating lefty podcast. They clearly are democratic supporters. The show is very sloppy and they don’t hide the fact they despise Trump. I know he’s a device of character but this is meant to be a professional podcast, and it’s a disgrace Do better!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is this the most depraved political ad ever made?
Q: So who are you talking to in the documentary? Where do the numbers come from? And what is the data, the sort of hard data set you're going from?
Taylor says the documentary draws on watchdog groups, legal organizations, members of Congress, journalists, whistleblowers and former officials, and examines alleged corruption and weakened safeguards against presidential self-enrichment.
Is this the most depraved political ad ever made?
Q: Is this a new low that's been plumbed and will it rebound on the Republicans?
The speakers condemn the ad as a deeply damaging attack that could strengthen sympathy for Amy Acton, though they acknowledge its message might still influence voters who see only the headline claim.
Will Trump's new press secretary last the week?
Q: Or do you think these are possible scenarios that we could get the martial law and the midterm suspended?
Miles Taylor says extreme scenarios should not be dismissed, recalling how close the transfer of power came to depending on individual officials' decisions after the 2020 election.
Will Trump's new press secretary last the week?
Q: Do you think that Trump would be brave enough to swap her out because he recognizes straight away that she's not going to manage her brief?
Miles Taylor says Trump is unlikely to remove her until he can blame her, but her performance and questions about her background could give him an excuse.
Is AOC entering her presidential era?
Q: What differentiates socialism from communism in this context, and how does AOC frame her stance?
The guest explains that she views democratic socialism as fundamentally pro-democracy and aligns with electoral processes, rather than centralized economic control.
