  • 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.

RIP Ori Goldberg - Our First Interview
Q: Where do you stand on the hardening of Israeli views after October 7, and is there any path forward given the current consensus?
Hardening is real and multifaceted, but there remains a sense that change is possible if the international community and leadership create conditions for a reckoning, including possible Palestinian statehood and leadership transitions.
"Late Empire Floundering": The Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Makes No Sense w/ Nat Wilson Turner
Q: How are you feeling about the state of the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger right now?
Turner responding that the deal looks financially dubious, with massive debt and questionable financing, and that leadership quality is questionable, which fuels his skepticism about the merger's success.
Why AI Is Splitting the American Right-Wing w/ The American Conservative's Luke Nicastro
Q: How do Democrats factor into the AI policy landscape according to the guest, and what is the potential for bipartisanship?
Democrats are portrayed as increasingly favoring regulation and government intervention to address AI's inequalities and social impacts, while also recognizing the need to understand Republican proposals. The guest argues there is potential for limited bipartisan cooperation on certain regulatory measures if approached with shared concerns about economic and security outcomes.
Space: The Pentagon's New Battlefield w/ Andrew Corbley
Q: What role do private space companies play in this shift, and what are the implications for civilian space research?
Private space companies are aligning their messaging and products with space superiority concepts, launching defense-oriented satellites and partnering with the Space Force, which risks militarizing civilian space efforts and diverting talent and resources away from peaceful exploration and commercial innovation.
The Great Pretense: A Tour Through the Boneyard of the CIA's War for Drugs w/ Bill Conroy
Q: How did the House of Death case illustrate the dynamics you describe?
The case showed how corrupt involvement can permeate multiple agencies, with informants on the cartel side and law enforcement agencies turning a blind eye or actively colluding to protect the operation, all while officials used the murders to justify their broader covert agenda.
