  • 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.

A Democratic Strategist on the Future of the Democratic Party w/ Maya Rupert
Q: What lessons did your campaign work with Julián Castro teach you about movement roots and electoral politics?

A Democratic Strategist on the Future of the Democratic Party w/ Maya Rupert
Q: How do you connect authenticity to the current state of the Democratic Party and the move toward midterms?
Rupert suggests that authenticity should not be a performance metric but a reflection of genuine commitments to working people and marginalized communities, which can broaden electability beyond superficial labels.
Inside Israel's Big-Budget Campaign of Direct Foreign Influence w/ Nick Cleveland-Stout
Q: How effective are these influence operations in changing public opinion?
While the operations increase exposure and can influence AI training data and online discourse, there is a notable disconnect: public opinion polls have not shifted accordingly, suggesting limited impact on overall attitudes toward Israel despite heavy spending and aggressive messaging.
Inside Israel's Big-Budget Campaign of Direct Foreign Influence w/ Nick Cleveland-Stout
Q: Why is the use of geofencing controversial?
Geofencing targeted evangelical churches with pro-Israel messaging, raising concerns about privacy, religious spaces being used for political messaging, and sparking backlash from communities who felt their worship spaces were being exploited for political ends.
