Summary
This week, Katie Halper joins the pod to discuss access journalism and the blurred lines between friendship and solidarity among media figures and conflicts of interest. Is the left, once again, eating itself? Or should friendships between podcasters and political figures be viewed with skepticism? The pair then move on to a discussion of Trump's move to Twitter, Bernie-turned-Biden comms woman Symone Sanders' recent interviews on the status of the 2024 Democratic Primary, and how Sanders rationalizes the move from Bernie to Biden.

| 0:00.0 | I do think there are some questions about how do you deal with having friends on the show? |
| 0:05.9 | What I think is a little bit off is people keep pretending like Kyle and Crystal kind of like nefariously propped her up. |
| 0:16.2 | Sorry, Marianne Williamson. |
| 0:17.3 | So this whole thing basically is because Marianne Williamson was at the wedding. Officiated the wedding. People didn't know that. Now they're going to know that. I feel like they know. I feel like there are pictures of her stating between them at the front of the aisle. Yeah. Okay. They're going to be like, oh my God, this is even worse than we thought. But here's the thing. We're not NBC journalists. We are people who have podcasts who make |
| 0:41.3 | our politics very well known. We're opinion journalists. We're opinion journalists. Yes. I shouldn't |
| 0:47.9 | even say we're not NBC journalists. I'll just say, yeah, we are opinion journalists. And our politics are |
| 0:53.2 | very well known. |
| 1:00.2 | There isn't the same conflict of interest that you see with people who claim to be objective journalists. |
| 1:02.4 | I'm not saying there can't be conflicts of interest. |
| 1:04.2 | And I do think that sometimes it's hard to navigate how to interview someone who's your |
| 1:08.6 | friend because you may not push back as forcefully or you |
| 1:11.4 | may overcompensate and push back more forcefully. It depends. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I struggle with |
| 1:17.0 | that. There's a piece of this that I think is more Marianne focused and there's a piece of this that |
| 1:20.6 | is more generalized. I'll just to start by saying that it was such a pleasant surprise and an honor |
| 1:26.7 | to be invited to anybody's wedding, but in particular |
| 1:30.0 | this wedding, I had no idea of who was going to be there except for you, that you and Marianne |
| 1:35.5 | were going to be there. And it was such a lovely surprise to see so many people from the broad |
| 1:41.9 | kind of communications left community from all stages of |
| 1:46.2 | Crystal's life. There was someone who works behind the scenes on Rising, you know, what was her old |
| 1:51.9 | show, who I know from working on Rising, who is there, one of the camera guys, there was someone who's |
| 1:58.6 | apparently Kyle's first follower ever who was there. There was |
| 2:02.6 | someone from the Bernie campaign that I haven't seen in a really long time there. Content creators |
