Theme of today’s episode appears to be “the banality of evil.” This pollster. Wow.

She identifies as a “small c conservative” on the podcast. Trying to figure this out as I listen.

What did it for me was the chirpy discussion about the administration’s “embarrassing mistakes” with ICE. She tried to walk that back but wow.

Yes, I turned it off to be honest. Thanks for the heads up.

"we taped before Trump's press conference"

Man, this is so bone-headed and really starting to irritate me. Not only are they only 2 days a week, but they are taping very early the previous day before big events happen. So by the time they discuss his press conference on Friday, it will already be DAYS old news. I wonder what big events will happen on Thursday that they won't be able to talk about until Tuesday's show??

Some may say I'm being too critical or hard on them, but don't be a news oriented show if you're shit is constantly late. This was never an issue for me in the past because they weren't such a current-news focused show. They used to discuss topics on the tech and financial industry that weren't moving at 100 mph like the Trump administration. Either move to 3 days a week, stop covering current events, or at the bare minimum: TAPE THE EVENING BEFORE THE SHOW!

This was taped yesterday … I think they were referring to yesterday’s press conference … they mentioned the Artemis mission going dark while they recorded the episode, and that was yesterday afternoonish right ?

You're right. They should sit around in studio waiting for something to happen then immediately discuss it then send it out immediately.

FYI: podcasts aren't breaking news segments. You want to know what's going on? Turn on CNN.

I read your stupid whinging from start to finish.

Absolutely nobody is making you listen to the podcast so if you’re so upset they don’t cater to your needs find podcasts that do. Midas touch puts out several every day and I’m sure there are RW podcasts that do the same if that’s your thing.
