Democrats Win The Midterms, Republicans Blame The War

Democrats won big this week by taking control over both houses of Congress and winning several important governors races. President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance acknowledge their party’s loss was mostly about the war in Iran that Trump started, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. We’ll talk about Trump’s path ahead, and what Democrats should do with their power and mandate. And if Democrats are committed to a more inclusive style of politics, how will they handle polarizing cultural issues and progressive causes? Producer: Leo Duran Host: David Greene Guests: Mike Dubke, veteran GOP communications strategist and advisor. He was the White House Comms Director under Donald Trump in 2017 - @MikeDubke Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee

Is This a Psyop?

Mixed in with the beauty and Love Island videos on producer Tracie Hunte’s TikTok feed, she started seeing clips that seemed to pit Black people against one another. People fighting over who’s really Black American and about dating between Black men and women. Tracie doesn’t hear these debates in real life, but online, they kept popping up. And so did a question people kept asking in the comments: “Is this a psyop?” Howard University professor Christine McWhorter walks Tracie through real disinformation campaigns, from a Russian troll farm to a dark money group reportedly funded by Elon Musk, and explains the specific tactics used to manipulate Black voters.

Victorious Dems Debate Who Should Lead Them

The election is over. Now it’s time for the White House and both parties in Congress to show us what leadership looks like. Democrats are already fighting over who will make those decisions in Congress. Some in the party don’t think Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are the right leaders to fulfill their mandate from voters. Congressional Republicans quickly picked Jim Jordan and John Thune to lead them in the House and Senate, respectively. Is that a sign of party unity, or a hint that no one else wants those jobs? And in the White House, President Trump promoted Stephen Miller to be his next Chief of Staff. We discuss what that says about Trump’s leadership, priorities and messaging for the next two years.

When a promising young freelancer pitched a good story to his magazine, editor Nicholas Hune-Brown was ready to assign it.

This episode recently won Gold and the Listener's Choice Winner in the 2026 Signal Awards for Best Writing. A version of Nick’s story first appeared in The Local – you can read it here. The UK-based magazine Press Gazette is keeping a running list of AI scandals in journalism, including Victoria Goldiee. You can see that here.

The Lying Mouth Slays the Soul

Lying is the force that is most diametrically opposed to journalism. So why has it been so hard for journalists to combat it? Earlier this month, Brian was asked to deliver a treatise on this question to an audience of journalists, and writing it took him in a bunch of directions he didn’t expect: from a school playground to ancient religious texts to Alex Jones. Afterwards, people kept saying that we had to run it on Question Everything. Here it is. Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

If Democrats Win The Midterms, How Bold Can They Be?

The midterms are upon us and we’ll check in on a few races, including a moderate Democrat in Washington state who’s trying to hang onto her seat. If she wins – and her party does, too – what role will she and other moderates play with Democrats emboldened and ready to fight? Also, Democrats have blasted Team Trump for trying to cast doubt on our election system. But in Alaska’s Senate race, the Democratic campaign is accused of recruiting another Dan Sullivan to be on the ballot so it confuses voters trying to vote for incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. Plus, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seem politically weakened at the moment. If their parties lose seats in their respective elections, we talk about how that might change their approach to foreign policy in Iran and elsewhere.

Meta Knew They Were Addicting Kids. Now They’re Paying for It.

In the span of two days, juries handed down landmark verdicts against Meta and Google. In New Mexico, a jury ordered Meta to pay the state $375 million for failing to protect young people from predators on Instagram. And in Los Angeles, a jury found that Meta and Google knowingly designed social media platforms that addicted a young girl, causing depression, body dysmorphia, and self-harm. But as listeners to this show might wonder – isn't suing social media companies supposed to be impossible, because of Section 230? Brian talks to co-lead counsel in LA, Mariana McConnell, about how they pulled off the win, what this huge verdict means for the internet, and the internal Meta document that said, “Young ones are the best ones.” Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.

A Video So Real It Looks Fake

Brian sits down with expert fact-checker Sofia Rubinson who spends hours every day tracking lies online, and together they dissect a single lie that’s been rocketing around the world to millions of people, affecting the way people think about the war in Iran — including the world’s biggest podcaster. Sofia says the AI deepfakes she’s seen consume the internet in just the last few weeks make her worried that we’ve entered a dangerous new phase of disinformation.

You Can Bet on Everything Now. What Could Go Wrong?

Gambling is infiltrating American life. Ads for online sportsbooks are everywhere. Prediction markets – which are not legally considered gambling – now allow betting on everything from the unemployment numbers, to the war in Iran, to how many times Elon Musk will tweet this week. Lots of news outlets are getting in on the action: CNN, CNBC, the AP, and others are partnering with prediction markets to use their stats in coverage. What could go wrong? On today’s show, we’re joined by three journalists who cover gambling and prediction markets to answer that question. They tell stories about how gambling has already transformed sports, the unsettling ways betting seems like it’s already influencing the news and politics, and the not-so-crazy arguments for how it could lead to better informed citizens. Also: hours after we posted this episode, federal authorities charged a soldier -- Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke -- with being the mystery bettor we talk about in the show, who made $400,000 on Polymarket by trading on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. When asked about it, President Trump said, "The whole world unfortunately has become somewhat of a casino." Question Everything is a production of KCRW and Placement Theory.
