- Just ever more boot-licking
I’ve been listening for a while now and the dialogue has become less balanced and more “where can we find a nugget of fawning, high praise for the President (his communication style! his risk-taking! his “likely legal” enormous personal enrichment while in office!”. It feels not just protective of consulting dollars to the institute or to these GoodFellows professional interests, but outright obsequious and servile.

United Statesa month ago - Dinosaur Politics
Predictably liberal, milquetoast conservatism from Hoover. That is not without its merits to be sure, but the programme would benefit from the inclusion of diverse conservative perspectives. In its absence, the show often feels like old age pensioners rehearsing warmed-over “neoconservative” talking points from decades past. It’s hard for me to admit that to myself: As a Brit who once most identified with that strand of American conservatism, I no longer believe it is fit for today’s world. McMa... more

United Kingdoma month ago - Re:US-Iran 14 Points
Looks like the team took a hard rudder right on neocon agenda ? Quite a few concepts dropped from the dialogue. What happened to America First ? No more forever wars ? Not doing another nation’s bidding? Sovereignty of the United States of America ? Also how about US constitutional rules around asking congress before taking the country to war. Congress and Senate have now halted this war. Why does the US need to take a war on behalf of a foreign power that its citizens and legislative body does ... more
Apple Podcasts3Norwestern95United States2 months ago - Two good and one bad
I don’t understand why they let a Scotsman filibuster conversations on the American character. All he does is troll the other speakers. Don’t believe me? Listen to how fluidly he changes from “we” meaning the British and “we” meaning the Americans depending on whose goat he’s trying to get. He makes it nearly unlistenable. Thank good ness for Messrs McMasters and Cochrane
