  • 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.

The Blue Tidal Wave: 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections Post-Mortem w/ Ben Burgis
Q: What do you think that means for the DSA?
Burgis praises Mamdani's record, citing the rent freeze, plans for public grocery stores, worker-organizing efforts and use of the mayor's platform. He argues that practical successes can blunt red-baiting, while noting that political constraints shape decisions such as retaining the police commissioner.
The Blue Tidal Wave: 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections Post-Mortem w/ Ben Burgis
Q: What does the election mean for the Democratic Socialists of America and the broader progressive left?
Burgis says the DSA had a strong election, while broader Democratic candidates also adopted economic-populist messages. He sees opportunities to expand socialist campaigns beyond safe Democratic districts, but says the party's establishment remains institutionally powerful.
Trump's Midterm Humiliation, the Blue Wave, Israel's Election, & the Information Crisis w/ Deep State Kuba
Q: How much do you think the Iran war had an influence on these midterms?
Wrzesniewski says the war was decisive for some voters, arguing that it made the claim of aligned U.S. and Israeli interests less convincing and gave anti-war conservatives an opening.
Trump's Midterm Humiliation, the Blue Wave, Israel's Election, & the Information Crisis w/ Deep State Kuba
Q: What do you make of the midterms?
Wrzesniewski describes the results as a categorical Republican failure and a humiliating repudiation of the party, then warns that Democrats could squander their victory by failing to pursue accountability and allowing voters to demobilize.
The 2026 Midterms, Israel's Election, Iran, the Gulf, and the Changing Middle East w/ James Dorsey
Q: How significant are the Arab-led parties' 19 seats in the Knesset?
Dorsey says the seats reflect the Palestinian-Israeli share of the population and could allow the parties to support an Eisenkot-led minority government, although Eisenkot and other political figures have resisted relying on them.
