    Love this podcast, it’s the only one I haven’t lost interest in 😆 podcasts where it’s just 2-3 people discussing stuff usually looses my interest. I think this one has lasted because they are talking about the news, which is applicable to me, and it’s not 1 hour of the same topic. They aren’t yelling at you, or telling you what to believe, and they aren’t condescending either. Those are the reasons why I stopped listening and watching the news on the tv or radio. I think if my dad had lived lon... more

  • My go-to morning ritual!

    I love that Mosheh and Jill provide the headlines, and they also do their best to provide different points of view. The state of our country has us in echochambers, so I appreciate their giving context as to why different sides of the aisle have certain stances. Thank you for providing me with the news I need each morning!

  • Love this podcast!

    I listen to this every morning! Truly the best news podcast out there. Such balanced and fact-based news. I genuinely could not tell who the hosts voted for in an election, though have much knowledge of their music and pop culture preferences.

  • Great Show

    A great daily news podcast that goes through the biggest headlines of the day. I like it releases early in the morning so it’s ready for starting the day. Mo and Jill are great hosts and I think they mix in just the right amount of “non news” items like this day in history and talk about their families. Thanks for all you do Mo and Jill

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside the Iran War: Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson on U.S. Strategy, Regime Change and What Comes Next
Q: How likely is a ground operation or regime change, and what would be the implications for oil and regional stability?
The guest suggests ground operations remain a tactical option with high risk, but historically the US prefers not to destroy oil infrastructure; regime change remains uncertain and complicated by regional dynamics and the potential blowback on oil markets and allied governments.
Inside the Iran War: Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson on U.S. Strategy, Regime Change and What Comes Next
Q: What is the current assessment of Iran's missile and drone capabilities and how does that shape US and Gulf coalition planning?
Tomlinson explains that Iran has a large stockpile of drones and missiles, but the pace of launches has declined, easing immediate pressure on stockpiles while still necessitating continued defense and escalation management by the US and Gulf allies.
Interview: Iran’s Supreme Leader Is Dead. Now What? -- A Conversation With Jason Rezaian
Q: Take me through scenarios here, good, bad, and ugly, that could play out after the Supreme Leader's death.
Jason outlines that while parallels to past regime changes are tempting, Iran's structure is more open to internal jockeying and influential deputies, with potential outcomes ranging from a strategic, managed transition to increased instability and possible defections or reformist pressure, depending on who emerges as successor and how foreign pressures adapt.
