  • Iran

    Jan 16, 2026 - Iran

    I just listened to Dr. Marandi talk about the Iranian protest, on Al Jazeera news. If I heard correctly, he was saying that mossad, the Israeli intelligence, is the one causing the problem in Iran, and that most Iranians support their government.

    IF that’s true, I hope your reporting will reflect that

    Also, in relation to Trump’s first election, I understand that Russia gate was really made up to discredit tRump; and it was started by Hillary Clinton. IF that’s true, I hop... more

  • Shameless

    From anti-imperial journalism, to compatible “left”, to complete propagandist!

    Millions Iranians are marching against foreign-backed (we all know which ones) rioters, who killed hundreds police and civilians, and destroyed neighbors and mosques. Pompeo openly admitted it.

    Yet somehow this is all turned upside down into a narrative that better fit the official agenda. It’s like the Maidan 2.0.

    Am I watching CNN or FOX?

  • Misinformation

    Cherry picked information on a platter for autocratic anti-American regimes of all stripes to add to their propaganda. Amy loves to feature guests with ties to terrorists, like right after 10/7, a guest who said “we are all Hamas”. Leftists are the most naive people in the country and would watch it burn to satisfy their savior/guilt complex. Grew up listening to and watching this communist propaganda, now I know the truth. Never again. Antisemitic garbage.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Democracy Now! 2026-11-02 Monday
Q: Tell us about UAE's inner circle poet, Habib al-Sayegh, what happened to him, and also the whole issue of the Abraham Accords.
Cole says al-Sayegh publicly opposed normalizing relations with Israel, was arrested and tortured, and was later killed, according to sources cited in the book. Cole connects the case to the UAE leadership's efforts to pursue an agreement with Israel and suppress dissent.
Democracy Now! 2026-11-02 Monday
Q: Why don't you lay out your explosive allegations that Jared Kushner's lawyers categorically deny?
Cole says he stands by his reporting and outlines alleged financial arrangements involving Kushner, Saudi and Emirati leaders, and efforts to reshape Middle East policy. He also describes the Qatar blockade and the financial questions surrounding 666 Fifth Avenue.
Democracy Now! 2026-11-03 Tuesday
Q: Can you talk about the shift that we're seeing from 2024?
Marisa Franco says forecasts showed a shift toward Democrats among Latino voters in heavily Latino districts. She points to immigration enforcement, cost-of-living pressures and turnout among young and infrequent voters as important factors.
Democracy Now! 2026-11-04 Wednesday
Q: Can you talk about the long history of organizing in Georgia, but this is also coming at a time when the Trump administration was trying to redistrict, to gerrymander so many districts across the South and to disenfranchise black voters?
Carol Anderson says threats to voting rights helped spur community organizing and turnout. She describes people mobilizing against proposed redistricting and emphasizes the role of sustained organizing in building electoral power.
Democracy Now! 2026-11-03 Tuesday
Q: Can you talk about the thousand federal agents that the Trump administration is sending across the country and what this midnight decision means? Who is going to be there? Will people be intimidated?
Kristen Clarke says the NAACP sought transparency about federal election monitors and learned that personnel from the Bureau of Prisons, ATF and DEA were planned. She says the judge required confirmation that armed agents would not be sent, and the Justice Department pulled back some personnel.
