  • 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: TBD | Tech, power, and the future - The First Real A.I. Test
Q: If AGI exists, what would you use it for?
Roose says he already uses AI for tasks such as drafting legal documents, reviewing contracts, research, transcription, and fact-checking. He avoids using it to write for him or to replace personal activities he values, such as reading to his child.
What Next: TBD | Tech, power, and the future - The First Real A.I. Test
Q: Can Anthropic make enough money to cover those costs over the next 10 years?
Roose says that depends on whether Anthropic continues its extraordinary growth. He points to rapid revenue increases and customers spending much more on its models, while noting that the company's future value depends on the trajectory of AI demand.
What Next - Can this Marine Flip a Border Seat?
Q: Tell me more about how you think about the border and what you think people in Washington, potentially even some of your new colleagues may misunderstand when they think about people in your region.
Mendoza says border policy must address security, fentanyl, cartel recruitment, and legal trade with Mexico. She argues that tariffs and a damaged relationship with Mexico hurt border communities, and that both parties have failed to follow through on border policy.
What Next - Can this Marine Flip a Border Seat?
Q: Do you want to abolish ICE?
Mendoza opposes abolishing ICE and instead wants stronger oversight, accountability, transparency, and agent training.
What Next - Trump Slashed Healthcare. Is It Payback Time?
Q: What are you hearing from candidates who are Democrats about what they want to do if and when they get to office?
Cohn says Democrats would likely first seek to reverse Medicaid cuts and renew ACA subsidies, while the more difficult debate would concern how far to go with broader reforms and how to balance progressive and moderate approaches.
