  • Why ?

    It’s good that there is less giggling than the other weekend show, but arguing so loudly in such a high-pitched, irritating voice is like nails on a chalk board.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump: Iran Deal Signing Tomorrow or Else.
Q: What is the latest update on Iran negotiations and what is the Iranian perspective?
The guest describes a conditional path to a deal with both hardline and more moderate factions in Iran, noting that some elements oppose talking to the U.S. while others may support a deal, with Tehran signaling potential readiness but with internal divisions and external pressures affecting timing.
Trump: Deal with Iran “now complete”
Q: What is the likelihood Israel will comply with the terms of this deal or act as a spoiler?
Analysts warn that Israel could push back or act unilaterally if the agreement clashes with its security goals, creating a potential wedge that could undermine the deal's viability.
Trump: Deal with Iran “now complete”
Q: Do you think we are better off today than we were in February, on a single metric of safety?
The guests largely argue that while there may be a temporary pause, the broader strategic picture remains unsettled, with ongoing questions about Iran's nuclear ambitions, proxies, and regional stability.
Blanche's uphill battle
Q: What do you make of the immunities being described around Todd Blanch and the DOJ?
Guest analysis suggests the immunity arrangement could immunize Trump and his inner circle from tax-related investigations and potentially other inquiries, a development that would be extraordinary and raises concerns about accountability within the justice system.
The Democrat getting drawn out of power in Tennessee
Q: How do you respond to concerns that these districts are a partisan maneuver?
Experts and Cohen emphasize that the intent and effects appear to prioritize Republican majorities and reduce minority representation, urging legal challenges and voter mobilization.
