  • I love the drama!

    Listening to 7/19 show and the back-and-forth is fierce. I love it! I’m nowhere near NYC but I have thoughts about mayoral candidates and it was really fun to hear how you all verbally sparred. I also like how you all eventually get back into each others’ safe spaces

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pete Hegseth's political nightmare
Q: What do you make of this blockbuster lawsuit where Costco has sued against Trump's tariffs?
I think it's telling you a couple of things that are kind of important. So one is actually pretty procedural... But one total possibility is that you will have had to have brought suit or will have to legally challenge in order to get access to the dollars that you paid in under a regime that was then deemed unlawful.
Pete Hegseth's political nightmare
Q: What are you hearing from your sources? What is the chatter in Washington, DC, about Pete Hegseth's tenure at the Department of Defense?
It's not going well. I think going into 2026, Republicans and the president are really looking at collapsing favorability... not helping himself...
A New Boat Strike Controversy
Q: How do current immigration enforcement tactics impact local communities?
They create fear among citizens and undermine trust in law enforcement, which is essential for community safety.
A New Boat Strike Controversy
Q: What can we learn from the contrasting military strikes and their implications?
Differences in military response raise concerns about legality and appropriateness under international law.
Congress back in session
Q: What is your stance on the current administration's public health protections?
Dr. Blackstock argues that the current administration is pulling back public health protections which endangers public health.
