  • Good US coverage; could have been great

    (Updated: Unfortunately, despite liking Mark Halperin, it is just impossible to become a regular listener when some of the guests, either left or right, are simply ridiculous and deeply partisan talking heads (eg Bill de Blasio, one of the worst and most disliked mayors in NYC’s history?).

  • Good overall & commendably clear-eyed.

I appreciate the podcast’s more equanimous insight into American politics, around which there’s far too much immature hysteria these days, not least here in Europe.

    A couple years back I was watching the election coverage thinking why doesn’t this guy have a podcast. Now Mark Halperin has 2 and both are great!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran War Latest: US Navy To Escort Tankers Through Strait of Hormuz "As Soon as Militarily Possible"
Q: Do you agree that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is a major consideration in shaping the conflict?
Yes, it's a central issue because safe transit through the strait has profound implications for global energy markets, and any decision will require coordination with allies and a credible plan to deter Iranian disruption.
"For Them, It's a War": Trump Says He's Destroyed Iran's Navy as Iran Hits Three Cargo Ships
Q: Based on what you've seen, how long might the conflict or its effects last?
The panelists avoid predicting a precise timeline, emphasizing that the duration depends on strategic decisions, the ability to reopen the Strait, and whether oil flows can resume smoothly, with some suggesting weeks rather than months.
"They're Dead": Trump Says Iranians He'd Been Eyeing To Run the Country Have Been Killed in Bombings
Q: Are you for this intervention, against it, or mixed feelings?
The guest panelist suggests mixed feelings, citing credibility and intelligence as factors that support action, while acknowledging risks and the potential for escalating conflicts.
Trump Says He'll Do "Whatever It Takes" To Stop Iran From Having Ballistic Missiles, Navy, Nukes
Q: What is the likelihood of regime change through air power alone?
Experts emphasize that while air power can degrade military capabilities, true regime change typically requires ground forces or a prolonged occupation, making it unlikely to achieve without broader international alignment and a long-term commitment.
Dozens of Democrats Sit Out Trump's State of the Union as Tensions Grow
Q: What are your predictions about the cabinet member who won't be there?
Guests speculate about various possibilities, including Kristi Noem being absent as a notable absence.
