Shows with regular guest appearances are out dated and have been for a ... more

    I love the way you never give up, even when I do. You give me a reason to go on. My daughter, wonderful son- in- law and two grandsweeties are going to actually starve if we don’t get one of them a job soon. Xmas is canceled. But you give me hope somehow. Thank you for being there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Law, The Lies and The Lisa Graves
Q: How has redistricting historically evolved to affect political power, particularly in Texas and Virginia?
Graves outlines the rise of partisan/redistricting strategies tied to the 2010 red map initiative, the role of the Roberts Court in allowing maps that dilute minority influence, and the ongoing battles over fairness in district drawing.
The Law, The Lies and The Lisa Graves
Q: What is the current status of Supreme Court opinions versus decisions on the day of announcements?
Graves explains that many lines are described as opinions or decisions depending on the context, and she emphasizes the partisan framing and long-term impact on governance and Congress' role.
A Free World Depends on a Free Press
Q: How does Brendan Carr's leadership at the FCC affect the media landscape and the public interest?
Carr has been perceived as trying to tilt policies toward the interests of powerful owners and the administration, undermining the perceived public interest by supporting more aggressive media concentration and favorable treatment of certain networks, which could threaten local reporting and the independence of public media.
A Free World Depends on a Free Press
Q: What does the court decision regarding CPB funding mean for NPR and PBS in the near term?
It represents a potential partial restoration or protection of funding, but the effect is muddled by separate Congressional actions and ongoing budget debates; stations may still face financial pressures and closures while advocates push for enduring protections and broader funding models.
Look What They've Done to our Media!
Q: How does Free Press operate financially without corporate funding?
Carr explains Free Press' funding comes from donors and foundations, emphasizing independence from corporate or government money.
