  • Promising pod is Dickerson is willing to let others speak

    John Dickerson spoke his opinion to death, interrupting 2 female cohosts, mansplaining in the most arrogant manner exemplifying some of the worst aspects of us Men. Interrupting is rude, not allowing other to share their perspective without long winded arguments and reframing the topic, attempting to persuade guest cohost or combination thereof by out talking loud talking over, refusing to allow them to get in a word especially if he detected they were going to say anything veering in a directio... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Next - Who the "Protect College Sports Act" Actually Protects
Q: What is going on in college sports that the US federal government needed to swoop in and fix?
The guest explains that the bill aims to cap or constrain player compensation by directing federal support toward a revenue-sharing model, in effect limiting how much money players can earn while tying some funding constraints to conference realignment and labor dynamics.
Slate Money - Money Talks: Chasing Ambulances on Wall Street
Q: What potential policy solutions or regulatory steps could curb abusive practices without harming genuinely injured people who need support?
Possible measures include capping interest and fees, banning referral fees to lawyers and medical providers, requiring disclosure of funding sources in court, and considering limits on securitization or outright bans in some jurisdictions to reduce perverse incentives while preserving access to necessary funding for legitimate cases.
Slate Money - Money Talks: Chasing Ambulances on Wall Street
Q: So Ellen, can you walk me through how this funding works and why it's driven such aggressive behavior around these lawsuits?
The funding works by providing plaintiffs with cash advances to live on while their case is pending; these advances accrue high fees and interest and are repaid only if the case settles, which incentivizes pursuing larger or more certain settlements and, at times, enabling costly medical treatments to inflate payouts. Regulators and investigators are scrutinizing the whole system for conflicts of interest and pressure on plaintiffs and lawyers.
Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Cruel and Unusual, Bought and Paid For
Q: How have amicus briefs and front groups influenced Supreme Court outcomes on climate and federalism?
A large flotilla of front groups funded by fossil-fuel billionaires coordinates to simulate broad support for their agenda, shaping the court's perception of legitimacy and pushing outcomes favorable to their interests.
Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Cruel and Unusual, Bought and Paid For
Q: What explains the persistence of lethal injection despite known flaws?
Lethal injection is kept not because it is humane, but because it masks the violence, is cheaper to administer than other methods, and aligns with political and legal incentives to preserve the death penalty.
