Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From FTC to NYC with Lina Khan
Q: How different are your duties with a mayoral transition team versus what you were doing at the federal level?
The economic toolkit is broader than just antitrust and consumer protection, with more direct influence at the city level.
The Pentagon’s Press Purge
Q: What are the implications of the new Pentagon policy changes?
They create a culture of fear among service members, affecting the flow of information and hindering journalists' abilities to report effectively on military affairs.
The Pentagon’s Press Purge
Q: Is the access worth the restriction?
The access is critical as it allows public affairs and journalists to ensure accurate stories. They both share the goal of getting the story right and preventing misinformation.
A Conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker
Q: Are there any promising out of the box ideas that you've heard?
Democratic governors should talk more with each other about how they can collectively fight against federal overreach and hold each other accountable.
A Conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker
Q: Have you experienced this at any other time with any other presidency?
This moment stands out because it's creating a hostile environment intentionally and lacks coordination, unlike during the Biden administration.
