  • Why The SUDDEN Random Caps?

    Maybe I’m just noticing it, but using random (all)-caps in episode descriptions has such a MAGA-style, tabloid vibe to it. Maybe that’s the way you want to go with the TYT brand, but it looks a bit right wing and desperate.

    When Cenk is on, I often avoid listening in the last several months. I don’t always agree with Ana, but I still like her. Will listen to anything John is on, and will also always listen if Francesca is ever on. The show goes from like a 2/5 to a 5/5 when John is there becaus... more

    Why would they punish these poor foreigners just because they are calling for the death of all the Jewish people of the world. Don’t they understand that this is totally acceptable all over the world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pentagon Party!
Q: Jordan, I want to start with you. Elon Musk has had ridiculous access and ridiculous power for a guy with no real formal job in the administration. What do you make of it?
There is a serious risk, and if you want to take it objectively, despite Trump's denials, it presents risks that are concerning especially considering Musk's financial relationships with China.
Bad Luck, Chuck
Q: What do you make of the criticism of the Democrats from both progressive and moderate factions?
There's serious doubt about Schumer's leadership, and not just from progressives, but from across the party, indicating a need for new leadership.
Bad Luck, Chuck
Q: Where do you come down on the Democrats' decisions regarding the funding resolutions?
It's embarrassing to see what Dems are doing. The disconnect between their actions and the needs of the progressive base is staggering.
DOGE Gets Leashed
Q: What are the consequences of Doge's actions regarding transparency and FOIA?
Doge is now required to comply with FOIA requests as a federal judge mandated the release of documents illustrating their operations and the use of federal funds.
Ro Khanna Calls Out Leadership
Q: How do you respond to the accusation that you intentionally decided to miss the vote to subpoena Elon Musk?
The story was corrected, and the accusations were incorrect; I did not intentionally miss that vote.
