  • 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 - Can I Still Vote By Mail?
Q: Rick, what are the two main goals of this USPS rule and the broader electoral strategy behind it?
Rick explains that the rule aims to make mail-in voting harder and to pressure states to disclose citizenship data, with an overarching aim of shaping the electorate and creating uncertainty, which could deter turnout or delegitimize victories for opponents.
Political Gabfest - What Is the Bond Market, Anyway?
Q: Jason, briefly, what is the bond market and what is the global trend in the bond market that has people anxious?
The bond market is where the government borrows money; lately, rising long-term rates and higher debt issuance have made financing more expensive, but policy tools and global capital flows complicate the picture, creating anxiety about whether rates will stay elevated and how that affects mortgages, business investment, and government budgeting.
Slate Money - Money Talks: The Dinosaur Economy
Q: How did your gallery decide to pivot from antiquities to fossils, and what has changed in the market?
We moved due to changes in regulation and provenance challenges; fossils offered a new frontier with a developing market, analogues to the art world but with unique supply constraints and a growing public interest as prices rose.
Slate Money - Money Talks: The Dinosaur Economy
Q: So introduce yourself. Who are you and what makes you so interesting?
Sal Aaron describes his background running a London gallery that shifted from antiquities to dinosaur fossils, the high standards for provenance and due diligence, and the evolving market that blends art-market practices with scientific value.
What Next - The WNBA's Caught in the Culture Wars
Q: What is the league doing in response to the controversy?
The WNBA has tried to avoid turning the situation into a full-blown controversy while acknowledging policy discussions, but critics argue this approach cedes ground to anti-trans narratives and insider politics.
