    Update: Trump Assassination Attempt & Biden Oval Address
    Jul 15 2024
    President Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office. He used the remarks to again decry political violence, which he said has no place in American democracy.

    The alleged shooter, who was killed by the Secret Service, has been identified by law enforcement as Thomas Mathew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pa., a town south of Pittsburgh. The motive behind the attack is not yet understood.

    This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, and White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez.

just facts

They just tell the facts without intersecting their own opinions. if cable news did this, this country would be better off.

The non-partisan review, and the thoroughness of the review

I like the quality of the topic and the timeliness of the topic.  the review seem to be non-partisan.

Huge fan and wish it was on multiple times a week.


anyone who's hating on commentary and coverage like this wants to storm the capital deep down in the pocket of dead tissue where their heart and sense of patriotism used to be

good summary with some filler

I wish they'd stop padding this with listener time stamps opening each episode and the can't let it go segments on Friday.

Woman servicemember interview not typical

I'm in the Army. Multiracial. I found the story of the West Point veteran as a far outlier and not typical of any officer in the Army, of any race or gender. people should not use that story as a "call to arms". The overwhelming majority of officers in the military, over the past 20 years, treat people fairly and equally. We see people, not color or race. Don't be swayed by outliers -- thinking that that is the norm. Opportunities exist equally for all.

Lacking.

Severely biased. No nuance. No critical thinking. I really wanted to get into it but it was just more left wing extremist nonsense.
