  • Why ?

    It’s good that there is less giggling than the other weekend show, but it’s annoying. I just don’t understand what is funny about anything that is happening now.

  • 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.

New Attack on Gay Marriage
Q: Does the fact that they are appealing to this culture war, the same way that they did with trans rights, do you see that being a way in for them into the broader cultural debate?
I think this is a dog whistle that falls flat; their arguments have nothing to do with making our families safer or the world more affordable.
New Attack on Gay Marriage
Q: How worried are you about whether the courts may try to overturn Obergefell and what groups like yours may be doing to prepare for that possibility?
This is concerning, and you should be aware, but you shouldn't be panicked at this point. Obergefell is still the law of the land, but we need to mobilize support for marriage equality.
Washington Post publisher stepping down
Q: In other kinds of kidnappings, how common is it for the apparent kidnappers to not communicate directly?
Daniel Brunner explains that it's unusual for kidnappers to communicate through media rather than directly with victims or their families, indicating a departure from standard negotiation procedures.
Washington Post publisher stepping down
Q: What do you say to people who are arguing right now, this really is just all about the finances, the difficulties facing the news business?
Marty Baron argues that while the media business does face financial difficulties, the leadership and management have made matters worse due to their relationships and decisions related to political coverage.
Busy Week On Capitol Hill
Q: What are lawmakers like yourself doing now to probe those questions?
We need to get the missing three million files to determine if there's more information about potential foreign government ties.
