The big loser in the 2022 midterms: conventional wisdom. The late punditry was all wrong. Enthusiasm was high on both sides. There was no red wave. Women did turn out to vote on abortion. Trumpism suffered some body blows and election deniers did not sweep the board. Importantly voters seemed motivated by multiple issues at once – which shouldn't be shocking but was discounted by the pundits in the final days of the campaign.To break down what we know right now, what it means for issues you care about, control of Congress and the 2024 presidential race, I spoke with NPR's National Political Correspondent, Mara Liasson. She covers the White House, Congress, elections and political trends and is one of the most thoughtful and informed journalists covering politics today.

Women's greatest strengths in the workplace are also their most underestimated.That's what CNBC senior media & tech reporter Julia Boorstin explains in her new book, "When Women Lead."Boorstin sat with sixty powerhouse female CEOs and leaders. In the book, she weaves their stories together with research on the most effective strategies women CEOs deploy at work. She provides invaluable lessons for anyone in the workplace.In this conversation, Boorstin explains how women like Katrina Lake, Lena Waithe and Gwyneth Paltrow not only rose to success but empower — and listen — to the people they lead. She breaks down the reasons empathy, gratitude and vulnerability can be superpowers for women leaders. And she shares key insight on confidence, pitching to investors and how women can unlock their leadership potential. In 2012, Boorstin founded the CNBC Disruptor 50, an annual list of 50 forward-thinking private companies that inspire change.

Unemployment is down but inflation is up. Layoffs are at new lows, but unfilled positions are near record highs. Why are experts calling the economy "weird"? Here to explain is Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. He's the host of Inside Economics podcast, the co-founder of Economy.com, a trusted advisor for policymakers and expert for journalists, business leaders and consumers.According to Zandi, wage growth is strong, but inflationary pressures were mounting before the pandemic. He tells us why the Federal Reserve is feeling the pressure to navigate troubling economic waters. But he also explains why he's not too worried that we are heading into a recession.So why does the Federal Reserve keep raising interest rates? And how does that help us?We may not have all the answers yet, but Zandi will help you understand the shocks jolting the economy, how we're fighting inflation and what's to come.Mark Zandi➤twitter.com/MarkzandiYou can follow Jessica Yellin here:➤Instagram: instagram.com/jessicayellin​➤Twitter: twitter.com/jessicayellin➤Twitter: twitter.com/newsnotnoise➤Facebook: facebook.com/newsnotnoise➤YouTube: youtube.com/newsnotnoise➤Website: NewsNotNoise.com➤Newsletter: newsnotnoise.bulletin.comSupport this work:➤patreon.com/NewsNotNoiseJessica Yellin is the founder of News Not Noise, a channel dedicated to giving you news with real experts and providing facts, not panic attacks.

The Dobbs Voter. Will she make all the difference in November?After the Dobbs decision overturning Roe V Wade there's been a surge in new voter registration among women. These voters are young and lean left. Is their enthusiasm to vote matched by equal enthusiasm on the other side? What does the data tell us and what can we expect in November?We discuss it all with a panel of experts who are paying close attention to the ways the Court's abortion ruling is shifting political expectations. Lauren Leader, co-founder and CEO of All in Together, a non-partisan non-profit women's civic education organization. Sarah Longwell publisher of the Bulwark and founder of the Republican Accountability Project. And Amanda Brown Lierman Executive Director at Supermajority, which focuses on bringing women together as a political force and protecting women's rights. This panel will give you a window into what's changed post Dobbs, when we'll know the impact of the Dobbs voter, and if she'll change our political landscape in the midterms and beyond.This conversation was originally held live on Twitter Spaces.Lauren Leader➤twitter.com/laurenleaderAITSarah Longwell➤twitter.com/SarahLongwell25Amanda Brown Lierman➤twitter.com/AmandaK_BYou can follow Jessica Yellin here:➤Instagram: instagram.com/jessicayellin​➤Twitter: twitter.com/jessicayellin➤Twitter: twitter.com/newsnotnoise➤Facebook: facebook.com/newsnotnoise➤YouTube: youtube.com/newsnotnoise➤Website: NewsNotNoise.com➤Newsletter: newsnotnoise.bulletin.comSupport this work:➤patreon.com/NewsNotNoiseJessica Yellin is the founder of News Not Noise, a channel dedicated to giving you news with real experts and providing facts, not panic attacks.

Vasectomies are on the rise, ever since the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe versus Wade. Because plenty of men are also interested in avoiding unwanted pregnancies. So would they be willing to do what women do and take birth control? Some male birth control products are showing promising signs in clinical trials.So how far are we from bringing male birth control to market? Would men be willing to take it? And what's the hold up – why doesn't this exist already? The group of experts we gathered tell us men are ready for contraception. We're waiting on the system to catch up to our needs. To discuss it all I'm joined by Dr. Stephanie Page Professor of Medicine and Board Certified Endocrinologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is helping to conduct a trial for a hormonal contraceptive gel for men. Heather Vahdat is Executive director of the Male Contraceptive Initiative, a nonprofit that funds research into non-hormonal, reversible male birth control. Dr. Ariel Moradzadeh, is a Men's Health and Reproductive Urologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Journalist Jessica Yellin, founder of News Not Noise, a rapidly growing social media platform aimed at delivering the news in a  calm, unbiased, factual manner that won't leave viewers feeling yelled at and anxious, but rather more informed and equipped to form intelligent opinions. The award-winning journalist shares with Linda how she worked in news for 17 years, working at the local level and then at several national cable outlets. She felt like she'd reached the top when she became chief White House correspondent for CNN. But in 2018, after 8 years at CNN, Jessica was dissatisfied at the way the media delivered the news, focusing on conflict and rarely providing any backstory or context. She left the network in 2018, wrote a book, Savage News, and then found News Not Noise. After a shout out from celebrities like Jennifer Garner and  Amy Schumer—News Not Noise got on the map. Jessica currently has a dedicated audience of 800,000. To put this in perspective: more people watch her today than when she was at CNN.  Follow Jessica on Insta and FB @jessicayellin; more at newsnotnoise.com 

On May 24, an 18-year-old opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two adults. The nation responded in horror and dismay that a school shooting happened again. There have been 212 mass shooting incidents in 2022, and the U.S. has the world's highest number of mass shootings, according to the World Population Review. Can politicians agree on reforms that could decrease the catastrophic number of such incidents in the U.S.?   Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Elizabeth Bruenig, staff writer at The Atlantic, on the left; and Avik Roy, president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, on the right.   Then, special guest Evelyn Farkas, executive director of the McCain Institute, shares her thoughts on how likely Ukraine is to win the war against Russia, which is now in its fourth month. With rumors that President Putin has cancer and that Russian elites are unsettled by the  economy and global isolation, is there an increasing chance Putin leaves power in the near future?  China has been watching all this with their eyes on Taiwan, where tensions have been ramping up. On his recent trip overseas, President Biden said he would defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression. Should U.S. policy toward Taiwan and China change?

This week, the nation witnessed another mass shooting. The gunman live-streamed the attack in which he specifically targeted Black people. Police soon uncovered the shooter's racist manifesto and his inspiration from “the Great Replacement Theory.” Did this act result from mental illness or racism?  The majority of Americans believe in some form of gun control but once again, Congress is at an impasse. What is it going to take to implement change?  Also, the shooter found information about “the Great Replacement Theory” via social media chat rooms. Fox News broadcasts sanitized versions of the same ideas, and the Republican Party under Trump regularly echoed racist beliefs. Should Fox News and Republicans be held responsible?  Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Sarah Isgur, staff writer for “The Dispatch” and host of “The Dispatch Podcast,” on the right; and Baratunde Thurston, a founding partner at Puck and creator and host of the podcast “How to Citizen,” on the left.   Then, mixed results are trickling in from this week's primaries. A number of Trump-backed candidates won, including Sen. Doug Mastriano, in the governor's race in Pennsylvania. In the state's Senate race, Trump-endorsed celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz and hedge fund executive Dave McCormick are still tied. Meanwhile, another Trump-supported candidate, incumbent Madison Cawthorn, lost in North Carolina's GOP race. What does this say about Trump's power with GOP voters?   At the same time, Democrat Cheri Beasley made history as the first Black woman to become chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. Is there hope for the Democratic Party after all? Finally, panelists rant about the baby formula shortage, Judge Alito's leaked draft abortion ruling, and what the polls really say about Americans' views on Roe vs. Wade.

The Senate has stymied a vote intended to secure nationwide abortion rights. Democrats knew this would happen – so why did they introduce the bill at all? Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said it was a way to get every member on record about their abortion stance. It also shored up support for Democrats ahead of a hotly contested midterm election. How can Democrats motivate their base when they face so many structural obstacles to their policy goals? Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Tim Carney, columnist at the Washington Examiner, on the right; and Chuck Rocha, president of Solidarity Strategies, on the left. Then: What is the Latino vote? The concept itself may be flawed, since the 16.5 million of them who voted in 2020 are hardly a monolith, but it's a question that's quickly becoming relevant. They're turning out to vote in historic numbers, and polling shows Republicans are making huge inroads among Latino voters. How can Democrats reverse that trend? And what can they learn from the Republican approach? Gen Z and millennials are now the largest voting bloc in the U.S. They're the most diverse and technology-savvy generation this country has ever seen, but they're inheriting some very real problems. So what do they care about, and what's animating them ahead of the midterms? We bring on Gen Z guests Javon Price, a policy analyst at the America First Policy Institute, on the right; and Elise Joshi, the operations director at Gen Z For Change, on the left, for a special segment exploring the zeitgeist of this generation. Finally, our Gen Z panelists rant about why the fight against climate change is not over, and how the Dallas Cowboys can bring home a Lombardi.

It's a historic week in Washington: A leaked draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito suggests the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. Americans have reacted with shock and elation, and a post-Roe reality might come this summer. How will an increasingly polarized abortion debate fare against states' rights? And could Roe's reversal have radical implications for other rulings on privacy, like gay marriage? Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Tim Carney, columnist at the Washington Examiner, on the right; and Jill Filipovic, columnist at CNN and author on Substack, on the left.  Finally, panelists rant about the G-20 summit, taking in more refugees, and why shutting down schools for COVID was a terrible idea.

Is it doom or salvation for the Twitterverse now that Elon Musk is poised to take over? He seems to want “maximum fun.” What does that mean for politics, free speech, and Twitter trolls? Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Tim Carney, columnist at the Washington Examiner, on the right; and Liz Bruenig, staff writer at the Atlantic, on the left.   Also, the past 10 years of American life have been uniquely stupid. That's the title of an essay in The Atlantic by Jonathan Haidt of the NYU Stern School of Business. He explains why social media is promoting “structural stupidity” and if there's any way to bring us back from the brink. Also: Kevin McCarthy was caught in a January 6 lie on tape. He seems to be on a clear path to be the next speaker of the House of Representatives if Republicans take it back in the midterms – but will these new developments weaken his bid? And after what's probably the thousandth push alert about the Jan. 6 commission, are people tired of hearing about the Capitol riots? Finally, panelists rant about Gen Z's labor aspirations and flawed definitions of disinformation.

The CDC sent the DOJ an SOS over masks this week. If that sounds like incomprehensible alphabet soup, just know that wearing a mask is up to you. Is the federal government doing enough to protect Americans from COVID? Is a laissez-faire approach to masking best? And how can we bring ever-changing science into policy without alienating voters? Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Tim Carney, columnist at the Washington Examiner, on the right; and Christine Emba, columnist and editor at the Washington Post, on the left. Meanwhile in Ukraine, how has the conflict evolved? Former LRC guest host David Greene is in Kyiv and shares what he's been experiencing on the ground. He is co-founder and host of Fearless Media's "Ukraine Stories." How are Ukrainians coping with the crisis? Do they think America is doing enough to help? And why are people taking out their political frustrations on Russian civilians? If you thought there was only one “Don't Say Gay” bill, think again. There are more than a dozen making their way through state legislatures across the country, and it's shaping up to be a big wedge issue come the midterm elections. Why are we seeing more of these efforts to block instruction on gender and sexuality? What's the line between letting parents take the lead on these discussions, and stigmatizing the identities of already vulnerable kids in school? Finally, panelists rant about sports betting, consent, and cynicism in politics.
