  • Why

    So I’ve heard interviews from 3 Palestinian hostages but not from a released Jewish hostage. Why? Your program can’t provide exploration by looking only in one direction. Do better, right now you are far from helpful discussion, your just one side, there’s no learning from just one side.

  • fascist boot licking

    Hope that the fascist boot licking would be fruitful for it.

    I had liked it due to recent reporting on various political issues; but cannot support it anymore. Personally would much prefer if my local public radio station would drop this show.

    Seriously stop “both-siding”.

  • Yale woman got it wrong?!

    I just heard an interview dated July 2, with a Yale woman saying Medicaid cuts wouldn't kick in until four years from now! Other sources say 2026. Either this episode was mistakenly released as if it's 2025, or she's actually wrong.

  • Very here and very now

    Here = the USA. The only news stories from outside the USA that I see deal with either Israel (an extension of US foreign policy) or the new pope (an American).

    Now = what can be expressed in a very short news bite. I have even heard a reporter whispering “briefly” to someone whom he had asked a rather involved question.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Trump really done with his war with Iran?
Q: What would constitute a durable end to this conflict beyond the current two-week window?
The guest explains that durable peace would require verifiable negotiations, mutual concessions, and clear guarantees for crossing the Strait of Hormuz and regional security, rather than mere cessation of hostilities.
Is Trump really done with his war with Iran?
Q: Jim, do you sense this war is ending with the ceasefire as announced?
Jim Walsh indicates cautious optimism but warns that the real test is whether the ceasefire will translate into negotiated terms and lasting de-escalation, not simply a temporary halt.
What happens if the U.S. pulls out of NATO?
Q: Can Congress block or restrict a unilateral withdrawal?
Yes, lawmakers passed legislation to limit unilateral withdrawal, and during discussion it's noted that the president would encounter significant legal and political obstacles, including potential bipartisan pushback and judicial challenges.
What happens if the U.S. pulls out of NATO?
Q: What would be the practical consequences if the U.S. pulled out of NATO?
Experts explain that a U.S. withdrawal could strand allied defense commitments, increase European vulnerability to Russian aggression, and force European states to hedge or rely more on other partners, while provoking a domestic constitutional and political backlash about executive overreach.
Could Iran be the next 'forever' war?
Q: What are the defenders of asylum seekers arguing in this specific Supreme Court case?
They argue that people who are effectively still on the Mexican side but interacting with US officials should be considered as having arrived in the US for asylum purposes, preserving rights for future administrations.
