Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Intercepted: Lebanon's "Ceasefire" Deal With Israel, and What It Means for Gaza
Q: What is your understanding of how the leadership of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad at this moment sees their position?
They are not going to surrender or give up; they see resistance as the only viable path given the circumstances of their occupation and violations they face.
Intercepted: Lebanon's "Ceasefire" Deal With Israel, and What It Means for Gaza
Q: What will happen now with the Palestinians of Gaza if there is a truce or a deal that actually sticks in Lebanon?
Dr. Al-Arian explains there are many dynamics at play, but essentially, the Palestinian resistance will continue despite a truce, as they have not surrendered and will not give up their claims and land.
“Lever Time” Presents: Artificial Intelligence Is Denying Americans Health Care
Q: What is the system here? Who are actually like, you know, handling these cases?
Bob explained that claims are managed by Optum at UnitedHealth, and that case managers are generally healthcare professionals like nurses or occupational therapists, but are required to follow strict algorithms with little room for personal discretion.
“Lever Time” Presents: Artificial Intelligence Is Denying Americans Health Care
Q: So how did you first learn about this and what did you end up uncovering?
Bob Herman shared that he and his colleague received tips about overwhelming payment denials from nursing homes based on an algorithm, which led them to investigate further and discover that UnitedHealth was systematically denying care as a cost-saving strategy.
No Safe Place in Gaza
Q: What final thoughts do you have about the future, especially regarding humanitarian efforts?
I'm just hoping to get through each day, and I think the Israeli government's intention is to drastically reduce the Palestinian population in Gaza.
