The Trump administration is a shining example of every terrible -ocracy you can imagine. As global oil prices skyrocket and conflict with Iran rages on, it’s clear that this administration continues to succumb to its worst impulses. Norm Ornstein and... more
The war with Iran has resulted in a lot of chaos and not much good. Civilian casualties are rising, Trump doesn’t seem sure if the war is almost over or just getting started, and Iran has selected a new supreme leader. It looks like more chaos is on ... more

Norm is the one expressing important reactions to issues and David Rothwhats his name interrupts, criticizes, calls him a downer. Also, I was going to subscribe because the adds are awful, but not so sure anymore.
I get taking their money and highly doubt that any audience member is going to switch over to Faux News, but it was pretty
jarring to hear.
My 3 star is temporarily notary to draw attention.
Thank you all for your insightful, independent news. I look forward to it every morning. Your sports-betting ads are certainly pushing me towards an ad-free subscription. The volume of which is too loud and the heavy metal music (and frankly the advertised product) stands in stark contrast to the tenor of the program. Keep on keeping on, and thanks again.
Alright, I’m not a poli-sci major nor someone who can catch up on all the things going on in/related to DC . That being said, I know FTA can mean a few things: Fair Trade Agreement, Fed Travel Advisory…but the contents of each “FTA” episode aren’t necessarily related to those topics. One clue is that all those episode episodes were previously released. But I just can’t come up with other than that the F may stand for Formerly. Help!
This show is great! It’s relevant, updated, clear, and gives... more
I get that it’s the holiday season and you guys need a break from making new content, but as a new listener, it’s ridiculous that I have to scroll through dozens of re-releases to find fresh/relevant content. I’d rather just not have content for a few weeks. Re-releases are lazy and annoying. Wanted to listen but after several minutes, couldn’t find anything that wasn’t an irrelevant rerun.

Listeners tune in for pointed, informed discussions on U.S. national security, foreign policy, and global power dynamics, often featuring veteran policymakers, scholars, and journalists.
