  • The Long war on Iran

    As usual, an excellent interview.

    Is there a difference between Putin’s war on Ukraine and the Israeli US war on Iran?

  • Always Great but..

    Love your show. Ralph you’re a hero. But Russel Mokiber has gotten the Stephen Colbert Story incorrect. The problem REALLY is is that they know that due to FCC regulations, they would have to allow equal time to the type of evening show Colber has. It wasn’t CBS killing the interview, actually by pretending to cancel it they drew more eyes to it. The Streisand Effect. Was a clever move by the producers of the show.

    Jimmy Dore on YouTube does a segment about it.

  • A review of the “tic tic” review

    The whole sale was a sham. They lied about the reasons. The data was already secured in US servers and had been since the last TikTok panic. The truth is that the Algorithm was letting the truth about the Gaza genocide out and that couldn’t be allowed. So powerful interests forced the sale to people that are openly Zionist and a former Israeli soldier was put in charge of content moderation.

    3/5 stars. Wouldn’t change a thing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Impeachment for All
Q: How many of the Grounds for impeachment are unique to Trump, and why does this matter for political strategy?
Panelists suggest most grounds are unique to Trump, including threats against Congress and war actions, which strengthens the case for impeachment and differentiates him from past presidents.
The U.S.-Israel Axis
Q: What is Johnston's view on Trump's tax practices and the IRS's ability to enforce them?
Johnston contends Trump committed tax fraud through non-existent businesses and fake losses, and he criticizes the IRS for being underfunded and understaffed, which allows such fraud to go unchecked.
The U.S.-Israel Axis
Q: What is the root cause of the current conflict according to Craig Mokhiber?
Mokhiber argues the conflict stems from a long history of US imperialism and Israeli Zionism, with a bias in media and policy that excuses aggression while masking human rights abuses; he calls for accountability under international law and a shift in U.S. foreign policy.
The Long War on Iran
Q: What would you say to this auditorium in Los Angeles, full of Iranian-American expatriates
I would stress that there is a danger in speaking from personal experience alone and warn against romanticizing pre-revolutionary Iran; the history shows both oppression and positive social changes, and any future should respect sovereignty and civil society without external manipulation.
The Long War on Iran
Q: Professor, tell us about the demonstrators in Iran who were being killed and provided at least a temporary pretext for this attack. Who were they?
The protests began around Christmas with currency collapse and economic grievances; they escalated into broad demonstrations where the government used force against protesters, while political opposition channels were suppressed, pushing many Iranians abroad to call for regime change.
