  • Gary What’s His Name

    Gary should never be on PBS News Hour again. He is irrational. His arguments have no basis in fact… and they are insulting to the finest tradition of journalism that PBS represents.

  • Sad decline of a once great news program

    Nick Schiffin and Miles O'Brien are good. The rest of this "news" show just gets worse and worse. Boring interviews with celebrities. Reruns of old stories described as "encores."

    Paul Solomon is just awful. Please deliver more *actual news* No more book promotions and and artsy puff pieces about tiny irrelevant nonprofits.

  • Love these interviews

    The news hour is great but I do love these closer podcast-style interviews with guests like Andrew Ross Sorkin. Amna Nawaz is also a gem and a great interviewer. She’s always so prepared.

  • naked partisanship

    Independent voter here, the naked Democrat partisanship on this show is getting out of hand. They don’t even try to hide it anymore, unsubscribed. :-/ PBS needs the NPR treatment, remove their public funding.. just gross.

How Olympians prepare for the pressure of the world stage
Q: So I know what your official title is, but when you're talking to a lay person, how do you describe what your job is?
There's really a dual objective in my role in mental performance and sport psychology and that is to help athletes use their sport experiences to develop into healthy, happy and empowered people.

Q: Is that a sign, do you think, that there is some doubt in the US nuclear umbrella?
I don't think there should be any doubt in that, but the whole nuclear posture of the world is changing... Europe has to look at its own protection.

Q: What do you make of this development?
It's partly because of the awfulness of those videos and the killings, but it's partly because of citizen power; the people of Minneapolis behaved in a self-disciplined, humane way that appealed to people across the political spectrum.
