  • His “report” on Worldcoin was pure marketing and he’s lost all credibility (updated)

    Update: Adam posted a meaningful apology and explanation of where he went wrong. I believe he sees the error in his judgement. Because of that he gets his five stars back, which he has earned. In a world where few apologize for their mistakes Adam’s apology came quickly and I believe was for the heart. That’s the Adam Conover we know and respect.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Genocide Scholar: I Know It When I See It, with Omer Bartov
Q: Does this fit the definition of genocide?
Yes, more recent observations indicate that Israel's actions have shifted from military objectives toward a systematic approach that works to render Gaza uninhabitable and effectively erase the Palestinian population.
Genocide Scholar: I Know It When I See It, with Omer Bartov
Q: What is the basic definition of genocide and how does it differ from ethnic cleansing?
Genocide is defined as acts carried out with the intent to destroy a specific group in whole or in part, while ethnic cleansing is typically about removing a group from a territory without the same intent of destruction.
