    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! 2026-09-15 Tuesday
Q: Naomi, why call the book End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World?
Because fascism reemerges in times of crisis through a coalition of religious end timers, tech extremists, and ethno-nationalists, and the aim is to understand how these logics exploit global crises to shore up capitalism and suppress democratic possibilities.
Democracy Now! 2026-09-16 Wednesday
Q: Could you explain how Omar Kremlin's involvement with Donald Trump Jr. emerged and what the implications are?
Reporter Joshua Kaplan explains that Kremlin's ties to Putin and the Russian government, along with recent public statements and a lack of clear motive, raise questions about foreign influence and potential leverage over the president's family; investigations may uncover more details as records are preserved.
"The Common Good Economy": Economist Mariana Mazzucato on Failures of U.S. Capitalism
Q: Can you explain the five-element compass and give a quick example?
The compass includes direction/orientation, co-creation, sharing knowledge, sharing rewards, and transparency; an example is space program procurement where mission goals guide private sector activity and ensure rewards are shared, not privatized entirely.
"The Common Good Economy": Economist Mariana Mazzucato on Failures of U.S. Capitalism
Q: What's different about the CHIPS Act and similar interventions?
Three basic conditions should center the design: no share buybacks, ensure profits are reinvested, and require that subsidies advance social outcomes; otherwise, money flows without commensurate public benefits.
"The Common Good Economy": Economist Mariana Mazzucato on Failures of U.S. Capitalism
Q: Mariana, how would this work in practical terms given the financialization of the economy?
The practical path involves conditions on public support, such as banning stock buybacks, requiring reinvestment of profits, and tying subsidies to social goals like worker conditions, sustainable supply chains, and climate action, so private gains are tied to public benefits.
