    Call for immigration reform now. Have you not seen the old Republicans saying Golly we didn’t want this. Why don’t we just reform the immigration system? Those little vignettes are all over TV news right now. Take a look. Pay attention.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

364: Winning Is Everything, Stupid With Gov. Steve Bullock
Q: What type of dirt?
Retirees in Congress are voting in ways that may not reflect conscience; some run for other offices or become lobbyists, which affects how they act at the end of their terms.
361: Home & Away with Richard Haass & Mayor Paige Cognetti
Q: What role are the Saudis and MBS playing in this, Richard?
Haass explains that Saudi Arabia initially desired stability and was wary of a long conflict, but now stakeholders seem to want a resolution to avoid radical Iran while also recognizing the costs and risks of ongoing confrontation.
362: Teleport Us To The Waffle House With G. Elliot Morris
Q: Why are polls considered essential for a democracy according to the guest?
Polls provide information on public sentiment on important issues and policies, helping representatives understand what the broader public cares about, despite occasional inaccuracies.
360: Winning Hearts & Minds with Stephen A. Smith & Dr. Trita Parsi
Q: How do Iranian minorities inside Iran influence the domestic response to foreign policy pressures and potential conflict?
Parsi explains that minorities have varied support and that external actors should consider internal dynamics, as diversification of domestic opinion can shift the sustainability of any political outcome.
360: Winning Hearts & Minds with Stephen A. Smith & Dr. Trita Parsi
Q: What do you think is the core reason the Iran conflict has spiraled into a prolonged crisis, and what should be the U.S. strategy moving forward?
The guest emphasizes that misperceptions about Iran's resolve and the regime's durability, plus misreads by leadership, have prolonged the crisis; a cautious, diplomatic, and well-structured policy approach, rather than hawkish escalation, is needed.
