Firing Line with Margaret Hoover
@firinglineshow
"When the cameras go on and the recorders start recording, it is hard, I think, for Republicans and Democrats to come together and even agree on basic things," says health care policy expert Lanhee Chen. "Because compromise is not seen as a good thing as we sit here in 2026."

The War Powers Resolution requires congressional approval to wage war, but “presidents have all sorts of ways of manipulating it,” says Philip Wallach. “Presidents of both parties have found if they initiate short actions, there's very little that Congress can do to really second guess them.”
“Our immigration policies are undermining supply of labor in a lot of different areas, including and particularly health care,” says Lanhee Chen. What has made the American health care system “the finest in the world…is that we have been able to train and retain talent from around the world.”
"If Jeffrey Epstein's core businesses were money laundering and blackmail, a pseudonymous currency that operates outside the banking system would be very attractive," @benmckenzie.bsky.social says of Epstein's investments in the early stages of cryptocurrency. Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4e9HvG7
"We are all protectors of our Constitution. All of us have that obligation...," says former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis at a @HooverInstitution.bsky.social event marking 250 years of American ideas and leadership. "Democracy is not a spectator sport."
"The incivility that we see in our public life generally is creeping too much into the court's opinions." Justice Anthony Kennedy says there was a "marvelous" collegiality among the justices when he was hearing cases on the Supreme Court, but that has changed.
"Democracy depends on a discourse that is thoughtful, reasoned, respectful, searching, inspirational," says Justice Anthony Kennedy. "You can't have that discourse if you're attacking other people because of their political identity." Follow on Apple: bit.ly/4heC73U

"The person who's lost this child just learns to go quiet because they can't express what they're really going through." Danielle Crittenden--whose daughter Miranda died at age 32--says she wrote "Dispatches from Grief" to help others understand the pain experienced by parents who suffer that loss.
Actor @benmckenzie.bsky.social explains why he has criticized fellow celebrities like Matt Damon for promoting cryptocurrency. "This is an investment. This is not a car or soap. And you're not supposed to offer people financial advice unless you're a licensed financial advisor."
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reflects on how George Washington embodied Stoicism. “He listens with the willingness to be persuaded. He quiets himself down, tones down his temper, and he learns,” says Mattis. “That is a man in control of himself.”
