President Trump headed to Asia this week to attend the G-20 Summit in Osaka, Japan. Afterward, he made a pit-stop in South Korea and convinced his pal Kim Jung Un to stop by and say hi. The two made news when President Trump crossed over the demilitarized zone and stepped foot into North Korea— becoming the first sitting US president to do so. Beyond the newsy spectacle, it is still unclear if the US and North Korea will ever reach an agreement on denuclearization. 

In today’s episode of Polilogue, we explore if and how the shows tried to explain this unique moment in diplomacy. We also reviewed the debate recaps across the shows.

We’re back at it again with another recap of the Democratic Debate.

Night two included 10 new candidates and a much more even approach between the five moderators. Thankfully, there were no technological disasters this time around.

Like in Episode 109, we share our top highlight-lowlight moments from the debate and then categorize the candidates’ performance into three distinct buckets:

1. Those who improved their standing with their performance;

2. Those who will probably stay the same in the polls; and

3. Those who maybe hurt their case for the presidency.

It’s the first Democratic Debate of the 2020 primary!  And we’re here with a full episode.  We provide our overall impressions, have a short highlight-lowlight segment, and then we dive in.  First, we divide the candidates into three categories: those who improved their standing with their performance, those who will probably stay the same in the polls, and those who maybe hurt their case for the presidency.  Finally, we examine the quality of the moderation—including the work of Chuck Todd, who dominated the hosting in the second hour of the debate.

Similar to last week, President Donald Trump sat down for another broadcast interview. This time, President Trump sat down with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press. Vice-President Mike Pence also went on the shows. Pence was in studio for an interview with Jake Tapper on State of the Union. 

In both interviews, Iran and the immigrant crisis dominated the conversations.

President Trump does not often sit down for long television interviews. This is interesting considering Trump is a man obsessed with the news and who also has an uncanny ability to determine (or distract) the media’s attention. This week, however, George Stephanopoulos observed, interacted, and interviewed President Trump for 30 hours. 

Many comments from that interview made news — like President Trump would be receptive to help from a foreign government during the 2020 election (this is illegal); he thinks he answered written questions on obstruction to Bob Mueller (he didn’t); Trump repeatedly stated the Mueller report says there were was no collusion (Mueller specifically did not say this); and Trump cannot handle people coughing around him (is Mulvaney on his way out?!).

In this episode of Polilogue, we also look at how Washington is responding to this interview and how the globe is reacting to the escalated tensions between the US and Iran.  We also discuss messaging strategies by 2020 candidates, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders.

This week, we dive deep into the Joe Biden candidacy. Biden has been everywhere on the Sunday morning political shows this year—except in the guest seat! But that won’t stop us from getting to the bottom of this top-polling candidate. In the first in a series of special episodes that will be coming to your feed periodically throughout the rest of the year, we take a pause on looking at the Sunday shows to look at the 2020 Democratic candidates for president. In each episode of the series, we will do a Polilogue examination of the candidate’s stump speech—the well-worn collection of policy ideas, personal anecdotes, statistics, and autobiography that make up a candidate’s basic pitch to the American voter. Complete with audio clips and analysis, it’s everything you’ve come to expect from an episode of Polilogue!

This week, we examine Joe Biden’s stump speech. Biden has been running for just over a month (officially)—but we’ve heard more ABOUT him than FROM him. In this close look, we break down his “Campaign Kickoff” in Philadelphia on May 18. Here are the topics we discuss:

• Introduction

• Setting the Scene in Philadelphia

• General Impressions

• The Goals of Joe Biden

• The Rhetoric

• The Policies “That Matter Most”

• The Final Grade

• Closing

You can watch Biden’s kickoff at the link below—but be warned, the audio is atrocious and just gets worse and worse. We had to do some significant audio clean-up to make our clips listenable.

Biden kickoff video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-AEAq7jzcU&t=238s

Both the PBS Newshour and C-SPAN audio are a mess, so if you want to just read the speech transcript, you can find it here: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1905/18/cnr.04.html

We don’t like being out of town on Sundays, but we do enjoy the opportunity to record these special episodes that explore topics a bit more fully than we can on a typical episode. Invariably, they end up taking way more work to assemble than our regular ones. Let us know what you think! We will be back next week with our regularly-scheduled look at the Sunday morning political shows.

Asylum seekers from Central America continue to arrive on the Mexico-US border. Now, the White House is threatening Mexico with tariffs on all imported goods, if they do not play a more active role in the migrant crisis to reduce the number of migrants that reach the US. Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney was on multiple shows this week defending this tariff threat that few Republicans support.

Additionally Majority Whip Jim Clyburn was on State of the Union with a clear and foretelling impeaching strategy.

Abortion has always been a passionate issue for both political parties. Recently, the intensity has increased.

In the last few weeks, many states have passed bills that restrict abortion access. States like Georgia, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat could be detected— approximately 6-8 weeks— before many women even know they are pregnant. Alabama passed a bill that bans abortion, including in instances of rape and incest.

With the rhetoric and passions ever growing on this topic, we examine how the media frames the abortion conversation to begin with.

Last Friday President Trump increased tariffs on certain Chinese products from 10 percent to to 25 percent.

This latest escalation in the trade war with Chinese has economists, Democrats, and Republicans alike wary of the end impact Americans may face. Despite the regression in negotiations, President Trump remains optimistic that he will be able to come to an agreement with China.

In the latest episode of Fox News Sunday,  Chris Wallace interviews Director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow. Kudlow makes news by acknowledging the reality that Trump seems to ignore: that tariffs increase the prices American consumers pay and lowers the Chinese GDP at the same time. 

We also explore an extensive interview with Kamala Harris on CNN’s State of the Union.

North Korea resumed missile testing. Unrest continues in Venezuela. Russia refutes election meddling. 

This week, the Trump administration struggled to maintain their composure and strong messaging on several foreign diplomacy fronts. In the latest episode of Polilogue, we explore how Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to valid and fair questions on Fox News Sunday and This Week. 

We also examine four interviews with 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls.

In this Special Edition to mark our 100th episode, we ask: what is the responsibility of the news consumer?  How can we increase our understanding of important topics and cut through the noise to get a sense of what the news really means?  We organize our thinking around six general themes (and a 7th that we list here and discuss later in the episode):  

1. Context

2. Comparisons

3. Primary Sources

4. History

5. Mechanisms

6. Questions 

7. Voices

Then, we examine where hosts Naomi and Brendan get their news.  We share tips and recommendations on everything from newsletters to podcasts.  Oh—and we fail to say that of course you should support at least one newspaper if you can!  We’ve subscribed to four in the last few years (now cut to two)—but we find it incredibly important to pay for the great work of hard-working journalists who depend on subscribers as well as eyeballs.  

Next week, we’ll be back with our regularly-scheduled look at the Sunday Morning political shows.  Thanks for listening! 

By the way, when it comes to context, this video by The Washington Post on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments was incredibly helpful in sourcing audio: https://youtu.be/zWFnkNX9m2E

Last Thursday after months of fighting, negotiations, and evasions, Robert Mueller’s almost 500-page redacted report was released to the public. 

There were two main conclusions: 1.) No criminal conspiracy between the president’s campaign and Moscow; 2.) Mueller did not recommend charges against Trump. Mueller did, however, find several instances where the president tried to influence or shut down the investigation.

Rudy Giuiliani and Kellyanne Conway were in long interviews on the Sunday morning shows. Today on Polilogue we explore the White House’s objectives in those interviews— and ask ourselves if the hosts facilitated or impeded those objectives. 

We found this Mueller summary on Vox extremely helpful.

We are 19 months away from the 2020 presidential election. Approximately about a year away from the primaries and almost two months away from the first Democratic primary debate. 

But with 20+ Democratic candidates, news organizations are making conscious choices about which candidates to introduce to the American public and how rigorous to make those those introductions.

Today on Polilogue we look at four different candidate introductions and ask ourselves, what is the journalist trying to do— and do we, as potential voters, learn anything new?

After Robert Mueller concluded his investigation with no direct evidence of collusion, President Trump could have taken a victory lap. He could have claimed the moment and directed the coverage to any Republican priority. He could have demanded that Congress move on and take action on a bipartisan priority like infrastructure.

Instead President Trump took on the last issue that Republicans want to work on: healthcare.

Today on Polilogue, we look at the latest Republican effort to overturn Obamacare. We also discuss the allegation against Joe Biden by Nevada Democrat Lucy Flores.

After almost two years, Robert Mueller concluded his investigation. With the support of 19 attorneys and 40 FBI agents, Mueller issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained 230 orders for communication records, and interviewed 500 witnesses. 

The country has waited for months for proof and assurance that the President is legitimate or a liar.  

Today on Polilogue, we look at the the unique predicament of the Sunday morning political shows: the Mueller investigation over, the findings still unknown, and somehow they had to create an hour-long show that was informative about unknown news.

Good political journalism is more than just one good story. Or a breaking tweet. It’s an ongoing conversation about the policy and politics that impacts every piece of our lives.

In today’s episode of Polilogue we discuss our motivations for creating the show. We explore all facets of the Sunday morning talk shows: the hosts, guests, topics, interviews, questions, asides, panels — just to name a few!

Which show gets it right? Which show is learning and evolving? And how can we, as media consumers, notice and expect good political journalism.

Without a single story dominating the news this week, the Sunday talk shows each had unique takes to summarize and explain the news.  

First, we notice obvious deflection by National Security Advisor John Bolton when asked by Martha Raddatz about new reports that North Korea is building up one of their nuclear power plants. We also discuss how Congress and the media is reacting to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s comments about Israel. 

Lastly, new 2020 candidates emerge. Governor Jay Inslee and Former Governor John Hickenlooper go on the shows to introduce themselves to America. Plus, Senator Elizabeth Warren introduces bold platform ideas that leave some people (and industries) scratching their heads. 

As always, you can jump to a section of the show by using our available chapters:
