In the world of politics, money talks. But when donors do the talking, what do American voters hear? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Group Chat Leak Heard Round The World

The accidental leak of a National Security Signal chat to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg has ignited fierce debate and conversation in Washington. While Goldberg is known for his long-standing opposition to President Trump, there is a real question of just how such pertinent information got into the wrong hands. Ben breaks down why it was so surprising that NSA Michael Waltz was the one in the wrong here, what this means for regular DC communication on apps like this, and why this was the first major wake-up call for a White House that had been scandal-free for the first two months.

A Democratic Leadership Crisis Unfolds

Last week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer surprised Democrats by defending the vote to avoid a government shutdown. Now, he is receiving major pushback from his party and is even canceling his book tour on Antisemitism. Does Senator Schumer's weakened grip on leadership signal a shift toward younger, more radical Democrats, setting the stage for a significant transformation within the party?

A Speech Only One Man Could Have Delivered

Ben reacts to President Trump's first address to the joint session of Congress, since his return to the White House. While he notes that the Democrats are currently without a real leader and lacking a cohesive response to the President's address, there is still a real question of whether the Republicans are indeed overstepping their mandate.

The Press Zeroes In On Elon Musk

Always fair

I enjoy his view on politics. It usually seems spot on and is willing to look at both sides. Also love his wife’s podcast. She hates Trump understandably but is fair on the political side. Such a breath of fresh air couple!
VP debate

10/02/2024

kjstarr22

I don’t think we watched the same debate. Walz was nervous and admitted it, early on. But he was genuine. Vance was a completely different person on that stage than he has been in every other interview he has done. He was obviously playing a part by being more reserved bc his dear leader Trump completely went off the rails and threw tantrums during his debate and it made him look like a fool. Why is Walz considered to be “lying” but Vance is making “dubious claims” - talk about a missed opportunity to call both sides out and be unbiased. You can’t say for 1 moment Vance is now empathetic and humanized bc he maintained composure for 60 min for once- when he STILL cannot agree that Trump lost the 2020 election. Talk about wanting to have it both ways!

Maybe don’t use a low talker for a podcast. To hear this guy I have to crank the volume, but then the guests and the commercials blow out the speakers. Be louder!

Ben. You are great. Emily is ruining the Federalist podcast with the worst audio- ever. Then. Excuses and promises… “never again! “. She says. (Until the next show…ssdd). Sorry. But you and she need to hear that the show is usually Unlistenable
Thoughtful and great interviews

Ben is always thoughtful and honest, and open to a wide range of thought, some thing I value highly. This has become a “go to” pod for me and I look forward to each episode.
