  • Not an Hour

    Frustrated that this podcast is called "PBS News Hour" and most of the episodes are maybe 4 minutes. I would want a show with the word "Hour" in its name to last at least the better part of an hour.

  • Some may ask, "How can you LOVE someone who's locked away in a concrete box?" "How can LOVE grow when it's held captive behind walls and fences?" These are the people that don't know LOVE, who don't understand it's essence, nor it's power. LOVE is not satisfiable. You can never satisfy it, nor can you conquer it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What may happen as oil supplies dwindle and Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed
Q: Has America's role as a major energy producer insulated it from the same vulnerabilities as in the 1970s?
To some extent, yes; there is insulation and a dominant position in a global oil market, but the disruption still highlights systemic dependencies and the risk of a broad energy impact.
What may happen as oil supplies dwindle and Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed
Q: How long could it take for prices to stabilize if the Strait remains constrained?
If relief doesn't appear, prices could reverse or spike as we move into July, with a six-month timeframe often cited to recover to pre-disruption levels.
What may happen as oil supplies dwindle and Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed
Q: What's the biggest reason the markets haven't cratered yet?
Inventories in the United States and China have absorbed the shock, with the United States remaining the world's largest oil producer and China holding large inventories.
What Iran and Israel's escalation means for efforts to end regional conflict
Q: So David, if you can respond to what Miad just said there, you're in Israel. How have the Iranian tax there impacted or changed the discussion about the war?
The discussion has shifted to assess how Tehran's proxies can be mobilized for leverage, with a focus on sanctions relief and the strategic value of Hezbollah and other groups in Lebanon and the region, which could complicate ceasefire prospects and push negotiations toward new bargaining chips rather than direct peace talks.
U.S. retaliates against Iran after American helicopter downed near Strait of Hormuz
Q: What does the recovery of the two airmen tell us about new capabilities being deployed?
The use of a 24-foot unmanned Navy vessel to locate and recover downed personnel represents a significant step in minimizing risk to servicemembers while expanding search-and-rescue capabilities in theater.
