Ask a question

Have y'all ever taken a political compass test?

I pretty much know where Krystal stands on this. She's definitely Libertarian Left. but I'm curious where Saagar would end up, being pretty economically populist and a little bit more to the right on social issues/control. I have learned from this show that there are tons of people like Saagar but I'd be curious if the conventional wisdom that Authoritarian Left is a bunch of tankies, or if it's just right wing populists. Hot take!

International equivalent

Are there any podcasts which have an international leaning or originate overseas that you use as sources? I’m interested to hear their perspectives on the US and what they may be seeing as well.

What happened to James?

Hi, Just saw something about "James's replacement" starting in two weeks and no time codes till then... What is happening? Is James OK? On holidays? Is James gone and if so why? And do you now have two members of staff or just one... I thought you were doing a fun raising/subscription drive to have two full-time people... And final question, how many people worked behind the scenes at The Hill, on Rising ... and can you do a subscription drive to employ that many people at Breaking Points, I guess you can guarantee 1 year's work by knowing your yearly subscriptions ahead of time?

Term Limits

How do both of you feel about term limits? Should members of Congress and Supreme Court justices be subjected to term limits along with the president?

Trump's "energy dominance"

In his announcement speech Trump said he would curb inflation by increasing domestic energy production. Do you think that's an effective strategy? What is Trump likely to do differently that will increase energy production?
