    We all know access journalism exists, but it's time we explore the how and also the why: the macro but also the micro. We travel back in time to revisit the fallout from #FTV and an accidentally revealing conversation between Cenk and ryan grim. We react to their rehearsed, offensive arguments and dissect ryan's shifting explanations as to why progressives couldn't (and shouldn't!) achieve anything tangible on healthcare. We chuckle at Cenk's throwaway admissions with the benefit of hindsight, including that he thinks progressives *must* force a vote on Medicare for All before republicans take back the house in 2022 or they'd be making a huge mistake (whoopsie!) and how Pramila Jayapal punishes journalists by blacklisting them from any future interviews, even TYT. We then come back to the present to dive into Matt Taibbi's recent thoughts on Elon Musk, work out how journalists could best immunize themselves against the pitfalls of access and where the Twitter Files go from here.

We listen to their history making interaction and reveal a fun fact about which creator of an iconic beloved American sitcom helped the cohosts discover the Gentleman in the White Shirt's true identity (hint: it's How I Met Your Mother!)

    Following the most recent attack on our discourse by Kanye West, the cohosts wade through the painful question of antisemitism by going straight to our villain of the week: AIPAC. We begin with Katie's iconic appearance on Laura Ingraham's show in 2019, then go through AIPAC's many ways and means combined with recent legislative maneuvers to figure out what they're ultimately after and how to disentangle their propoganda spell. https://www.change.org/p/abc-katie-halper-to-replace-meghan-mccain-on-the-view https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/after-signing-anti-bds-bill-governor-announces-georgia-israel-legislative-caucus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HonestReporting https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/israel-renews-law-barring-citizenship-through-marriage-for-palestinians/3594881 https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2016-05-12/ty-article/dear-mr-smith-im-wearing-your-uniform-in-prison/0000017f-f3fd-d887-a7ff-fbfdebf00000 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/12/israeli-intelligence-veterans-letter-netanyahu-military-chiefs Download the Callin app for iOS and Android to listen to this podcast live, call in, and more!

    Our week in hell got off to a terrible start; but right before Robby could call the Koch factory for backup and send Liz Wolfe to torture us, the stars aligned and Brie triumphantly returned to the Left Chair. In this episode the cohosts take you through a surprise blast from the past, from a land so far away Peter Daou tweeted in it "In Africa they call her 'Sister Hillary'' (https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/767349264045445120?s=20&t=5wWhT1osDcWGNTh7VddPrA). We review said moment in time to see what clues we could glean about the future, including Krystal's prophetic take that got her in trouble with MSNBC, and weigh whether Hillary is serious about 2024 or just scaring us again. https://youtu.be/Op2Ybfi8tII https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/02/the-politics-of-shame https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/767349264045445120?s=20&t=5wWhT1osDcWGNTh7VddPrA https://youtu.be/2cd_8MqPC3o Download the Callin app for iOS and Android to listen to this podcast live, call in, and more!

    We have too much to talk about: with Katie's shocking firing from The Hill after filming her radar debut calling out Israeli apartheid and with Brie's future Rising slays at a deténte, we work through the pain by going over gems from Katie's recent piece for the Daily Beast while we pray for reconciliation, then review Krystal's recent interview on the Vanguard pod and wade through the strawmen to set the record straight: what is the Left's actual critique of electorialism, and how did the vanguard get it so wrong? We also go through the first episode of The Labour Files, a documentary series exploring how a team of paid consultants engineered Jeremy Corbyn's demise. https://www.thedailybeast.com/i-was-canceled-for-criticizing-israel https://youtu.be/Wzo34RQnPdk https://youtu.be/3Ihfc18ecKk https://twitter.com/maximillian_alv/status/1532024292459814918?t=h-CHEeq99bzCNPJ8UeXHvg&s=19 https://youtu.be/elp18OvnNV0 Download the Callin app for iOS and Android to listen to this podcast live, call in, and more!

    Over on the Majority Report Ilhan gave a rare interview nobody listened to: we bear through the garbage to give you the crucials. Meanwhile Krystal and Kyle have 30k friends left; as former stans we analyze their latest content to figure out where they've gone out of tune with the Left, muse on how/if they can turn this 'ship around and what we believe the real left wants from its commentariat class. We also review Brie and Robby's latest developments on Rising after #PENGATE
