As the war with Iran drives up prices, President Trump says Americans’ financial situation is “not even a little bit” motivating him to end the war. Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D) reacts to the latest in the redistricting fight in Virginia. Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson talks maternal health in America after the Supreme Court temporarily extends access to the abortion pill mifepristone.

For decades, the Sunday morning conversation that defines the week in Washington has been Meet the Press. This audio edition, from NBC News, brings that essential dialogue directly to you, extending its legacy beyond the screen. Anchored by Kristen Welker, the Sunday program sets the standard with in-depth interviews and rigorous roundtable discussions featuring the nation's most influential lawmakers, journalists, and thinkers. But the conversation doesn't wait for the weekend. The Meet the Press podcast also incorporates "Meet the Press NOW," the daily analysis that breaks down the latest developments from Capitol Hill, the campaign trail, and the White House as they happen. It’s where the headlines meet context and political strategy gets unpacked. Tuning in means hearing the questions that hold power to account and the analysis that cuts through the noise. This is more than a recording of a broadcast; it's a curated audio experience for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping American life. You'll find a mix of the Sunday show's comprehensive depth and the weekday program's timely urgency, all designed for listening on the go. In a crowded media landscape, this podcast remains a cornerstone for authoritative news, sharp commentary, and the politics that matter.
