BOTH SIDES NOW- FEBRUARY 11th, 2012 | When did the Carville axiom become “it’s the culture war, stupid?” Huffington & Matalin clash on “War on Catholics” vs. “War on Women.”…employee benefits in publicly funded hospitals or a 2000 year church doctrine? The two also debate Ryan Lizza’s big New Yorker article, “The Obama Memos”, and who’s to blame for the most polarized presidency in the modern era? Then: consensus on the shootout between Clint and Karl over that Chrysler ad. BSN_PODCAST_021112.mp3 Listen on Posterous Permalink | 2/13/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

BOTH SIDES NOW- FEBRUARY 4th, 2012 | Ron Reagan & Gingrich-adviser Kellyanne Conway debate the continuing bitter contest between “Speaker Moonbeam & Gov. Gekko.” Will Newt relent in order to protect his conservative speaking career & give a Buchanan-like prime-time speech at the Tampa Convention? Also: Reagan-Conway clash over Super Pacs bidding for the presidency & Carville/Matalin report in from Super Bowl.

BOTH SIDES NOW- JANUARY 28th, 2012 | Reagan & Matalin debate Obama’s “America is Back” SOTU and the “Mitt is Back” Florida debates. Ron explains why he likes the President’s theme of “Patriotic Populism” – Mary ardently explains why she doesn’t. Then Ron ridicules Gingrich for another grandiose claim -- that his mother said that his father passed the conservative torch to Newt. Last: Catholic Charities & contraception; Oscars, Superbowl.

BOTH SIDES NOW- JANUARY 21st, 2012 | After two GOP debates that made Kennedy-Nixon seem tame, Spitzer & Matalin agree that Romney blew it by having no good answer on releasing his tax returns. Mary has a suggestion for Mitt to get off the defensive -- give a paid 30 minute address on all networks on "the moral basis of capitalism" (think Ross Perot meets John Galt). They also clash on whether Newt played the race card in South Carolina (a black man the best "food stamp president"?) and whether the Keystone decision was about economics, the environment, or politics.

BOTH SIDES NOW- JANUARY 14th, 2012 | Arianna & Mary debate: Resolved, Romney's the very likely nominee after winning two of two contests, but the less likely president because GOP rivals have opened big wounds -- Bain job-killer? deeply divided party? Mary thinks the attacks have only hurt Gingrich and Perry while Arianna argues that it's potentially devastating if Romney's rationale against Obama as a "job-killer" is turned on him. Then the women discuss how Michelle is doing after publication of The Obamas and whether Tebowing is good for sports and religion.

BOTH SIDES NOW- JANUARY 7th, 2012 | Reagan & Matalin spar over the GOP contenders and Obama's ballsy recess appointments. Can a blue collar Santorum seriously challenge the blue-blood Romney? As for the human IED named Newt, Ron adds a personal note: "when Gingrich invokes my father, I throw up in my mouth." Then: Mary opposes but Ron applauds Obama's recess appointments and end run around a balking Senate GOP minority.

BOTH SIDES NOW- DECEMBER 17th, 2011 | Matalin & Reagan debate GOP challenges in Iowa and Iraq. Will the Mitt-Newt rivalry rise to Yankees-Boston, Obama-Clinton levels...or has Gingrich's swagger and "bomb-throwing" started to deflate him? Then MM & RR clash over two big topics: is the GOP problem their candidates or their voters since a base unhinged by Fox and Obama believes incredible things? Was the withdrawal from Iraq the end of an error? Should calling while driving be banned? Who would win an Obama-Gingrich debate?

BOTH SIDES NOW- DECEMBER 10th, 2011 | Spitzer & Matalin focus on the Big Two 2012 issues -- go back to Bushonomics or stick with Teddy Obama? They clash whether we should tax the poor (Mary) or tax the rich at a higher marginal rate given inequality (Eliot). But there’s consensus that GOP anti-immigrant rhetoric risks losing Hispanic voters and swing states. Like evenTexas!

BOTH SIDES NOW- DECEMBER 3rd, 2011 | Is 2012 a political Rollerball? In the week of Cain’s self-immolation, Mary Matalin and Hilary Rosen debate alleged personal flaws of the remaining top three. Obama a loner? Romney a phony? Newt a blowhard with ‘baggage’? What’s worse – changing wives or principles? Consensus that the President is smart and connects, that Romney’s many 180s raise trust questions and that Newt has a Bobby Knight problem.

BOTH SIDES NOW- NOVEMBER 19th, 2011 | Matalin & Reagan discuss whether a reality show called the GOP debates has become the new Iowa/NH. Is Gingrich smart+experienced (Mary) or an ethically-challenged lobbyist "whose first impulse is to lie" (Ron)? Then, they debate a) whether to attack Iran too and b) whether Occupy Wall Street, after the evictions, has parked itself in our minds.

BOTH SIDES NOW- NOVEMBER 12th, 2011 | Eliot Spitzer & Mary Matalin debate if last week’s big GOP losses in Ohio and Mississippi signal a backlash against Tea Party extremism. Will Reagan appointeee Silberman’s pro-Mandate opinion sway the Supreme Court next Spring? Consensus alert: Obama may prevail constitutionally but not politically if a decision riles the GOP base. Last, Spitzer & Matalin talk about Perry, Paterno and aliens (extra-terrestrially speaking). BSN_PODCAST_111211.mp3 Listen on Posterous Permalink | 11/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

BOTH SIDES NOW- OCTOBER 22nd, 2011 | Matalin & Reagan debate state Voter ID laws- are they aimed at voter fraud or voters, particularly the young, poor & non-white? If candidates run on their religion, when is it ok to ask about their religion? If Romney & Perry continue to treat GOP debates as auditions for Fight Club, will Obama win the next 16 scheduled ones? Also: the death of Gaddafi & those exotic animals in Ohio. Listen here: BSN_PODCAST_102211.mp3 Listen on Posterous Permalink | 10/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

BOTH SIDES NOW- OCTOBER 15th, 2011 | On this week’s show, Ron Reagan and Mary Matalin debate: is Romney the perennial boy-next-door? will Teavangelicans ever say "I do"? and how did Occupy Wall Street become twice as popular as the Tea Party and inspire 900 cities around the world to hold Occupy events? Mary argues that the protestors like to "partee" and won't wear well. Ron thinks their message about inequality and a rigged system speaks to millions of fed-up people. Then the two agree on the Israeli prisoner swap and the NBA lockout. Listen here: BSN_PODCAST_101511.mp3 Listen on Posterous Permalink | 10/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

BOTH SIDES NOW- OCTOBER 8th, 2011 | This week, Mary Matalin and Hilary Rosen debate whether Occupy Wall Street is a moment or a movement. Also, does the killing of avowed al Qaeda jihadist Anwar al-Awlaki mean more Drones by more nations -- is a Drone Proliferation Treaty next? Last, the women agree that "Slutwalks" are a shrewd way to protest those who blame the victim for the crime of rape.

BOTH SIDES NOW- OCTOBER 1st, 2011 | On this week’s show, Mary Matalin and Hilary Rosen debate the fluctuating GOP field for president. How did Rick Perry go overnight from toast-of-the-town to toast? Will a combination of Howard Beale, Tony Soprano and Ralph Kramden run and win? Whatever happened to Sarah Palin? Also, the women agree about child-rearing, testosterone, vegan diets -- and Steve Jobs. BSN_PODCAST_100111.mp3 Listen on Posterous Permalink | 10/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

BOTH SIDES NOW- SEPTEMBER 24th, 2011 | Obama's up! No, Obama's down! Mary Matalin dismisses his Rose Garden talk on taxes as "theatrical class warfare" while Hilary Rosen sees it as leadership since the top tier's income has ballooned as rates have fallen. Then they concur that Ron Suskind's new book exaggerates about a "hostile work environment" for women in this White House. Last, Perry calls Obama a dangerous "appeaser" on Israel; Netanyahu, however, awards Obama a "badge of honor" for his UN stand on Palestinian statehood. Happy Rosh Hashanah Rick.

BOTH SIDES NOW- SEPTEMBER 17th, 2011 | Arianna and Mary alternately agree and clash over the HPV vaccine -- women's health or big brother? -- Obama & Jews in Queens & Israel, and the quiet crisis of growing inequality in America. Then the women talk about Jackie Kennedy's amazingly personal views on her contemporaries and her husband and whether the ouster of Gaddafi vindicates the President's approach which had been ridiculed as "leading from behind"?

BOTH SIDES NOW- SEPTEMBER 10th, 2011 | Matalin and Reagan sharply clash on three major news stories: was Obama's jobs address just "a solid B+ political address" (Mary) or a smart way to generate jobs and box in the GOP (Ron)? Did Perry say something inane or shrewd on Social Security? And was Cheney (Mary’s pal) a brilliant strategist or a "delusional self-justifying war criminal" who violated the Geneva Convention Against Torture (signed by Ron’s father)?

BOTH SIDES NOW- AUGUST 20th, 2011 | Ron Reagan & Kellyanne Conway reflect a media consensus of some liberals and all conservatives that Obama is not "a leader". Ron and Kellyanne then split on the Congress and Tea Party, whose numbers are skidding down. Also, are SuperPacs fine or unlawful and should law enforcement shut down social media to avert crime?

Both Sides 4 Real
It's nice to hear both sides of an issue. While I do agree with Arianna on most issues it nice to hear the conservative point of view from Mary.
Well Done!
Great weekly wrap-up
Great weekly wrap-up of key issues from two prominent voices on the left and the right. Haven't missed an episode since it started to air!
