  • Interview with Andrew Lownie very good

    Why didn’t the federal government seize $ real estate Ghislaine Maxwell gained illicitly? I believe Prince Andrew and Maxwell met early on Preb dating Epstein and he instilled in her only wear an outfit once when her father dies and she tries to lure me into the Epstein Maxwell world in 1996 she tells me she’s broke. She also makes like a rude mocking joke of Charles and Diana sex life. She didn’t know that I had read a book about her father. I knew she was not an only child and I knew about the... more

  • Brilliant and Incisive Podcast

    I thoroughly enjoy this Podcast. It is topical, engaging, and despite the barrage of bleak news covered, relentlessly positive. The hosts seek real world solutions to geopolitical problems even when interviewing (as they often do) people with whom they disagree… I also like that the host’s effusive personality is front and centre! Congratulations on a terrific Podcast team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 196. Rule of Lies—the origin story of Putin’s Russia with Jamison Firestone
Q: Why is the Magnitsky case so central to understanding this story and how it informs today's leadership against corruption?
Magnitsky's fight exposed how systemic corruption can be protected by impunity within state structures, and his death galvanized international pressure and sanctions that align with the author's broader call for accountability and rule of law.
Ep 196. Rule of Lies—the origin story of Putin’s Russia with Jamison Firestone
Q: What were the big mistakes during the Yeltsin period that enabled the transition to fail?
Three big mistakes: massive privatization before the public understood economics, a constitutional crisis escalated by unlawfully disbanding Congress, and the political maneuvering around elections that embedded oligarchic influence and eroded trust in institutions.
Ep 198. Tomorrow's Disorder — Florence Gaub on Our Flawed Relationship with the Future
Q: If you wanted to give a suggestion to a European leader on how they should prepare for the future, what would one concrete piece of advice be?
Make it participatory; involve the public to ensure buy-in and ownership of the future, adopting processes like Espana 2050 to shape long-term decisions rather than relying solely on experts.
Ep 191. Why Can’t Western governments get anything done? What do we do about trillionaires? Is the US missing out on the World Cup dividend?
Q: Will this constant back and forth between the US and Iran ever end? Will there ever be order in this disorder?
The panelists suggest there may not be a clean end; progress depends on long-term regional cooperation and gradual alignment on strategic interests rather than expecting quick regime changes.
Ep 193. America’s 250th and a Reformed drug smuggler on how to tackle the narcotics industry and Epstein
Q: What is the most important step to beat the war on drugs according to your experience?
Education and discipline are emphasized as foundational tools to prevent recruitment, build resilience in communities, and reduce the capacity of criminal networks to adapt and survive.
