Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ambassador (Fmr) Michael McFaul and Larry Diamond | Autocrats vs. Democrats: The New Global Disorder
Q: Is there hope for democracy amid current challenges?
Despite significant obstacles, there is a glimmer of hope as civic and electoral mobilizations are gaining traction, indicating that the fight for democracy continues.
Ambassador (Fmr) Michael McFaul and Larry Diamond | Autocrats vs. Democrats: The New Global Disorder
Q: What happens if we support regime change in Venezuela?
While supporting democracy is vital, the risks of military intervention are high. Peaceful means of pressuring the Maduro regime should be prioritized over invasion, which could lead to unintended consequences and casualties.
Ambassador (Fmr) Michael McFaul and Larry Diamond | Autocrats vs. Democrats: The New Global Disorder
Q: Why should ordinary Americans care?
It is essential for Americans to understand that global events can directly impact their security and well-being. Democracy and autocracy are influencing our global landscape, and neglecting international affairs can lead to serious ramifications, historically evidenced by World War II.
Erwin Chemerinsky with Warren Olney | The Constitution in Crisis: What’s at Stake for American Democracy?
Q: Given that SCOTUS is rubber-stamping everything that Trump is doing, why should we believe they wouldn't allow him to unilaterally declare war or engage in piracy?
There is a long history of the Supreme Court showing great deference to the president in national security claims, which makes successful challenges to Trump's actions difficult.
Erwin Chemerinsky with Warren Olney | The Constitution in Crisis: What’s at Stake for American Democracy?
Q: Is there any chance that Justices Thomas and Alito will not retire during Trump's term, allowing him to place two younger justices with similar philosophies?
While there's no way to know for certain, conventional wisdom suggests that both Justices Thomas and Alito may retire before the end of Trump's presidency, particularly if the situation in the Senate regarding confirmations is uncertain.
