Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kelly Magsamen: The future of US defence policy
Q: What is the potential role of allies in Golden Dome and associated defense projects?

Kelly Magsamen: The future of US defence policy
Q: What are the biggest challenges to expanding the U.S. defense industrial base, particularly for submarines?
Workforce and clearances are major hurdles; we need a bipartisan push to fix shipyard capacity, leverage allied manufacturing, and consider advanced manufacturing and robotics to accelerate production.
Kelly Magsamen: The future of US defence policy
Q: How serious is the AUKUS review under a new administration, and what should Australia expect?
AUKUS reviews are normal after a new administration; they may reaffirm the alliance but could push for greater Australian contributions or reframe priorities like Pillar 2, with potential alignment to defense tech and space priorities.
Expert discussion of Kathryn Schumaker's book, Tangled Fortunes: The hidden history of interracial marriage in the Jim Crow South
Q: How did you think about retaining the larger story of societal norms while telling these intimate vignettes?
The author explains that the overarching narrative about home governance and the private sphere helps connect individual family stories to broader legal and political changes, showing the tug-of-war between private life and public law.
Can Ukraine survive?
Q: Has Donald Trump undergone a shift on Ukraine?
Responses suggest it's too early to tell, with mixed messages and evolving positions; some statements imply a cautious or shifting stance, but details remain unclear.
