  • Antisemitic

    Accusing Israel of genocide or ethnic cleansing shows an ignorance of the meaning of those terms. Or they use over the top rhetoric to express their antisemitism. That would fit with CFR’s routine antisemitism

  • Tune in to the American foreign policy council

    CFR is comprised of antisemites who can’t bother to research the subject before they mouth off

    CFR represents the Davos elites leftist agenda. The American Foriegn Policy Council represents the honest American interest. I have been going through the last couple of years podcasts and they have proven far more accurate in their predictions than has CFR.

  • CFR is an anti American hate group.

    CFR is an anti American hate group. They lie and deceive in order to advance the leftist elites that feel entitled to rule and impose their will on the world.

  • Taiwan:

    If there is any question what would happen to Taiwan after a Chinese takeover, just look at what the Chinese Government is trying to do in Hong Kong. Xi Jinping lied as to how Hong Kong would be governed and he will lie on any, so called, agreement on the disposition of Taiwan after Chinese takeover.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On Rethinking Humanitarian Partnerships in an Age of Crisis
Q: What is the most important reform needed to make humanitarian cooperation more effective in fragile states?
Establish clear outcomes and transparent governance, then align funding and delivery through government leadership and civil society partnerships to maximize efficiency and accountability, while leveraging innovation labs and data-driven decisions.
Odd Lots Live at CFR: On How European Industry Is Getting Crushed
Q: What do you think is the practical path to balancing innovation with social disruption in an open democratic system?
She argues for a national, all-hands-on-deck approach involving governments at all levels and private companies to align incentives, avoid regulation that stifles progress, and ensure social safeguards such as education and unemployment/transition support.
Odd Lots Live at CFR: On How European Industry Is Getting Crushed
Q: Let's talk about AI a little more because you've been writing about it, you've been talking to people about it. What are you working on?
Raimondo emphasizes translating AI momentum into concrete policies that cushion workers, promote innovation, and maintain American leadership in technology, with a focus on transition systems, incentives for firms to invest in new jobs, and bipartisan support for industrial policy.
On U.S.-China Relations and the Global Economy
Q: On the APIs, what should the White House be doing to tackle this choke point?
The issue involves cost of manufacturing and regulatory barriers that push critical API production overseas; the answer lies in incentives to reshore manufacturing and creating a market environment where local API production is financially viable.
Anwar Gargash on the Iran War and the Challenges It Presents to Gulf States
Q: How do you see the role of the UAE and Gulf mediators evolving as this war continues, and what conditions would make negotiations more credible?
The UAE emphasizes traditional mediation channels through Amman, Qatar, and the UAE, noting trust issues with Iran but underscoring the need for guarantees on Iran's nuclear and missile programs; credible negotiations would require durable security assurances and a clear, verifiable end to Iranian aggression.
