    How refreshing, a guest host able to just speak in whole engaging, entertaining sentences with never an 'um' or an 'er'. And bonus - no vocal fry either. Great episode.

    It’s constant Trump bashing. I get it, I really do, but there must be something positive to talk about every once in a while?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

231. The Problem That Could Cost El-Sayed the Senate
Q: If Abdul El-Sayed is the next senator from Michigan, what will it say to you about the Democratic Party and the direction of the Democratic Party?
Fournier says a win would show that voters are desperate for change and want positive disruption, rather than proving that the Democratic Party has shifted left. He warns Democrats not to mistake the result for a mandate for particular identities or ideologies.
231. The Problem That Could Cost El-Sayed the Senate
Q: Can El-Sayed really win in Michigan?
Fournier says the race is likely to be close, but El-Sayed's communication skills, populist appeal, and the possibility that some Trump voters stay home give him a path to victory.
232. This Attack Ad Just Set a New Low for America
Q: If you are Jon Husted and Donald Trump comes in, and the only thing anyone really remembers about is Donald Trump giving a rally to support your Senate re-election campaign. Is the fact that the president spoke about your ass helpful or is that not helpful to Jon Husted?
Anthony Scaramucci and Katty Kay say Trump's remarks are unhelpful to Husted. They discuss Husted's vulnerabilities, including his comments about poverty and work ethic, support for data centers and their tax breaks, and the broader political environment in Ohio.
232. This Attack Ad Just Set a New Low for America
Q: Ever seen an ad like that from a gubernatorial candidate? Give the backstory here on Vivek Ramaswamy. He's campaigning for governor of Ohio. What did he do this past week?
Ramaswamy released an attack ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother, who accused Acton of lying about her background. The ad revisited allegations that Acton was sexually abused by her stepfather, which are supported by court records and her brother's account. The hosts condemned the ad and discussed its potential political consequences.
220. The Truth Behind Trump’s $5000 Midterm Bribe
Q: What do you make of Donald Trump's promise at the Texas midterm rally.
The guest explains that such promises are not just unlikely to materialize but could be illegal, and they reflect a broader pattern of reckless fiscal messaging that unsettles markets and voters alike.
