  • Progressive extremism

    Let’s face it, aside from the diehard progressives, there’s no other content for anyone else on the show. In an era where more and more Americans are waking up to the dangerous, destructive nature of progressive policies, this show does nothing to bridge the gap to any other persuasion. There’s a lot of anger and depression here and guests, while informative, are generally pretty boring so at least limit the time they have. Shows with regular guest appearances are out dated and have been for a ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I'm Back (Sort Of) with Driftglass, No Thanks to Hackers
Q: What is the shape of the lifeboat Republicans are building for themselves once Trump loses political power?
Driftglass says it will preserve supporters' existing beliefs, give them space to be angry at Trump, keep Democrats cast as the real villains, and assure supporters that none of it was their fault.
Emptywheel Fridays: A Week and a Half of Corruption Hitting the Fan and Lots More
Q: Should we talk about Ukraine?
Wheeler discusses Ukraine's reduced access to U.S. intelligence and Starlink, its strikes on Russian infrastructure, and Trump's asserted diesel deal with Putin, which she says could be used to pressure Ukraine to halt attacks.
Emptywheel Fridays: A Week and a Half of Corruption Hitting the Fan and Lots More
Q: What's going on in California?
Wheeler says the Justice Department sought California voter records using a thumb drive, then sued the state after California refused to process it. She argues federal authorities lack power to dictate how states administer ballots.
The Clinical Term for Him Is Psychopath: Dr. Vincent Greenwood on "Puppet on a String"
Q: What the hell is he talking about?
Greenwood says Trump was referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a brief screening exam intended to flag possible major dementia. Remembering five words is an expected, unremarkable result, not proof of genius; a proper evaluation for cognitive decline requires comprehensive neuropsychological testing.
The Clinical Term for Him Is Psychopath: Dr. Vincent Greenwood on "Puppet on a String"
Q: Has anybody said you can't do this or did they say, well, this one diagnosis can be done from afar?
Greenwood says the Goldwater rule cautions against diagnosing someone without consent, but argues that psychopathy is an exception because it is assessed through long-standing traits and behavior that can be documented publicly. He also cites a competing duty to warn and inform.
