    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! 2026-10-13 Tuesday
Q: What got you to decide to do a film on Musk in the first place?
Gibney explains the film was driven by the idea of examining 21st-century power and how Musk's wealth and influence fuse with political power, becoming a case study in modern power dynamics.
"Musk" Filmmaker Alex Gibney on Why Elon Musk Fears Democrats Will Win Midterms
Q: What about your avatar approach to Musk, why did you choose to use an Elon Musk avatar and what does that add to the narrative?
Gibney explains that the avatar was used to directly engage with Musk's words and to visually embody the tension between truth and portrayal, emphasizing the blurred line between real statements and scripted media in shaping public perception.
"Musk" Filmmaker Alex Gibney on Why Elon Musk Fears Democrats Will Win Midterms
Q: Actually, tell us about that incident where Grok adopted this Hitler persona and how the Pentagon is using Grok.
The interview discusses how Grok, an AI persona, was connected to a brutal misrepresentation within the film, illustrating how AI personas can reflect dangerous ideologies and the broader risk of militarized AI tools without proper oversight.
Democracy Now! 2026-10-16 Friday
Q: Can you explain more in detail what the laws are that are broken here and the significance of the amount of money DHS spent buying this warehouse in Roxbury, New Jersey?
The interviewee explains that court orders were violated, the DHS spent billions on detention infrastructure, and private contractors own most detention capacity, creating a system where profit incentives conflict with due process and transparency.
Democracy Now! 2026-10-15 Thursday
Q: How does the data-center issue play in the Memphis race and broader national politics?
Pearson explains the local dimension—moratoriums, community input, and the economic and health harms from gas turbines and pollution—while the discussion situates these concerns within a national debate about AI infrastructure and corporate power.
