  • lame

    interesting that the most recent review is over a year old, and the rest are 2-4 years okd. i can only assume someone in charge of the show is removing the more-recent reviews and they're doing so because these reviews are critical of the tone deaf leftist garbage this show espouses.

    Has the host had a stroke or suffers from dysphonia? Impossible to listen to without being distracted.

  • Encourages naive views of Israel Occupation

    The guest was allowed to drone on with zero ability to understand why 10/7 happened from a resistance pov and why it involved violence. It wasn’t a time to play nice. Doesn’t seem to have any clue about the last 75 years. Arrogant and unlistenable while also performing heroics of feeling enlightened.

    Liberal Zionism is just as bad as right wing Netanyahu Likud party Zionism. Listen to Norman Finkelstein, Jewish Voice for Peace, Not in My Name.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thomas Massie Defeated by Trump & AIPAC in Kentucky w/ Blaise Malley
Q: Why is the AIPAC angle considered as important as the Trump factor in this race?
AIPAC money framed the race as a test of political risk for opposing Israel policy, suggesting that even prominent Republican voices face pressure from well-funded advocacy groups when they deviate from the prevailing stance on Israel.
Thomas Massie Defeated by Trump & AIPAC in Kentucky w/ Blaise Malley
Q: What are the implications of Massie's loss for policy and for those who oppose U.S. foreign policy consensus?
The loss signals a potential chilling effect on lawmakers who challenge the War Party, and it underscores how donors and the president can shift policy directions, with potential long-term changes in how foreign policy is debated within Congress.
Thomas Massie Defeated by Trump & AIPAC in Kentucky w/ Blaise Malley
Q: Can you talk about the flash points of what this primary meant and how AIPAC figures into it?
The primary was the most expensive in US history, with over $30 million spent and a significant share coming from pro-Israel donors like Miriam Adelson and others; Massie's criticism of Israel and Iran war policy became focal points, and Trump's influence helped his opponent win.
Trump/Rubio's Tough-on-Cuba Policy Has Yet to Bear Fruits & May Be a Disaster w/ Lee Schlenker
Q: How important is it for people who want to influence Cuba policy to spotlight the roles of Mauricio Claver-Coron and the South Florida lobbying ecosystem?
Spotlighting those actors helps illuminate how organized interests influence congressional agendas and policy direction, underscoring the need for transparent, evidence-based discussion and the potential for diplomacy-driven solutions that align American and Cuban interests rather than bowing to single-issue pressure campaigns.
Trump/Rubio's Tough-on-Cuba Policy Has Yet to Bear Fruits & May Be a Disaster w/ Lee Schlenker
Q: What does U.S.-Cuba policy mean for Americans, and why should listeners care beyond Cuba itself?
U.S. policy toward Cuba shapes broader regional stability, economic opportunities for American farmers and tourism-related businesses, and the humanitarian consequences that can affect migration and domestic political considerations, illustrating how foreign policy choices reverberate back home in jobs, markets, and national security narratives.
