  • Cory Booker interview

    What a useless interview full of boiler plate rhetoric language. No details, no vision, nothing concrete. He is so not inspiring.

  • Trump’s Epstein War

    Three biggest questions of Trump’s war against Iran:

    1) Did Israel war criminal Netanyahu force a weak Trump to bomb Iran?

    2) Did compromised Trump bomb Iran to help Putin with oil revenues & Russia’s war against Ukraine?

    3) Did yet another Republican President force US into Middle East war by manufacturing false evidence, or to distract from Epstein sexual abuse that incriminates Trump?

    I appreciate this single story of news in the evening. When the news feels overwhelming. Consider This keeps me in touch with what’s going on. After a long work day, I appreciate that I can be connected without being swamped by more information.

  • The host, Emily Kwong, can't help herself but constantly interrupt the interviewee. Annoying to the point of being unbearable. Couldn't finish it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who decides when you're too old to drive?
Q: Do you have a sense of whether older drivers are more dangerous than the general population?
The situation is complex: overall crash rates for older drivers have declined over decades, but certain data suggest that policy changes and aging can influence risk in specific contexts, and many experts emphasize mobility and safety when evaluating relicensing, not age alone.
Iran War: Threats to attack civilian targets are raising concerns with legal experts
Q: What would you want to see happen next if such attacks occurred?
Rona suggests that accountability could extend beyond the current administration, potentially through future legal action and international prosecutions, and that other states may refuse cooperation.
Iran War: Threats to attack civilian targets are raising concerns with legal experts
Q: What is the difference between a mistaken bombing and a deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure in terms of legal culpability?
Rona notes that both intentional and mistaken attacks can be war crimes if not pursued with due diligence, emphasizing the need for accountability regardless of intent.
Iran War: Threats to attack civilian targets are raising concerns with legal experts
Q: Consider this. Striking civilian targets has long been off limits under international law. What does accountability look like if those actions come from the world's biggest superpowers?
Gabor Rona explains that international law and the US War Crimes Act impose accountability for deliberate attacks on civilians, and that even discussions about such acts trigger potential prosecutions and consequences under international norms.
How Trump's war rhetoric differs from past presidents'
Q: How does Trump's wartime rhetoric differ from earlier presidents' approaches to communicating during war?
The guest explains that Trump speaks more often and uses exaggerated, boastful language that contrasts with the more measured, statesmanlike tone of predecessors, which can dilute the perceived weight and credibility of his messages.
