You voted against the Paul Ryan budget because it didn't cut enough. While I appreciate that you believe the military should also be open to budget cuts, I can't understand why someone who is open to cutting spending on the most vulnerable Americans for the purposes of deficit reduction won't consider even the most modest tax increase on the wealthy for the same purpose.

Why is reducing WIC benefits a more worthy means of deficit reduction than increasing the tax burden on incomes over $250,000?

One of the reasons I've always enjoyed your podcast is that you tend to hold nuanced views on complex issues, especially when it relates to sex education. That being said, whenever you discuss the Middle East you tend to view things from a very black and white stance to the point where it seems prejudicial. How much of this is an act vs your actual beliefs, and if the latter why don't you put the same effort into understanding the complexity of the region that you do in other areas?
