    Hey ABC, remember that? Why are you asking voters if they want Iran to have nuclear weapons? That’s a really really dumb way to go - it’s false and you’re just chasing that ball that Trump threw. Yip yip small dumb dogs American media

  • Release the show on Sundays. Not that hard.

    The show is great, ABC needs to fire their podcast team because this show airs at 8 AM eastern time yet here I am at 4 AM Eastern time on Monday in the podcast still has not been released for the current day.

    Super unreliable. Doesn't matter how good the show is if it's not timely.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Episode: Sunday, October 18, 2026
Q: How is essentially giving Russia an economic lifeline anything but a reward?
Chris Wright says the policy concerns diesel, which Russia currently does not export, and would benefit Russia only if it reduced its war effort or reached an agreement that allowed diesel exports. He presents it as an incentive to move toward peace and increase global energy supplies.
Full Episode: Sunday, October 18, 2026
Q: Is the panic among Republicans about the midterms justified?
Amy Walter says Republican concerns are justified because the president is unpopular and some of his own voters appear less motivated to turn out. She says cost-of-living concerns and frustration with the country's direction could affect close races.
Full Episode: Sunday, October 11, 2026
Q: What is your response to President Trump's call for a new president in Ukraine?
Zelenskyy reiterates that leadership should reflect the will of the Ukrainian people and emphasizes why unity and resilience are essential, while outlining support for negotiations and ceasefire efforts.
Full Episode: Sunday, September 20, 2026
Q: Is this ban on these press organizations going to fly?
The guest argues the ban violates longstanding First Amendment precedents and is unlikely to withstand court challenges; the expectation is a swift injunction to stop the expulsions.
Full Episode: Sunday, August 9, 2026
Q: First of all, are you going to run for president?
I'm focused on winning the midterms and currently running for Congress; a future run isn't ruled out but not the immediate plan.
