  • Loud ads ruin great listen.

    Please fix the volumes so your pod matches the ad volume. The ads are very jarring when they come on.

  • Ads ruin this podcast

    Advertisements ruin this otherwise excellent podcast. Too bad Robinson won't put the ads at rhe beginning of the show like Lex Fridman, Matt Beall and others do. It's unlistenable in its current form.

  • Has crackpots on with no pushback

    He has Richard Wolfe on and repeatedly misses opportunities to push back on lie after lie. For example, he said that millions of Palestinians have been killed. Also Wolfe seems to have no understanding of the dynamics in the region between the gulf states and Iran. He says that America is no longer a superpower. America has destroyed Iran in weeks, meanwhile after years of war, Russia can barely put a dent in a country next door. Regardless if this war is a good idea, America can still project p... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

300 - Richard Wolff, Cornel West, & Norman Finkelstein: America Is in DENIAL | On Mamdani, Tucker, & Trump
Q: What in your view would be a reasonable immigration policy? Is there any model that you can sort of outline in three steps?
Richard Wolff proposes guaranteeing a job to every immigrant and non-immigrant, arguing that the work would generate enough value to cover its cost.
300 - Richard Wolff, Cornel West, & Norman Finkelstein: America Is in DENIAL | On Mamdani, Tucker, & Trump
Q: If somebody wins an election, how much of the United States can they actually change or how much of the power remains in other people's hands?
Cornel West says an individual cannot make major structural changes alone; sustained social movements are needed to confront entrenched institutional and corporate power.
297 - Anne Applebaum: Trump Is Building an Autocracy | On Putin, Kushner, and America’s Future
Q: What are the long-term risks to democracy if this trajectory continues?
Democracy could decay slowly into an illiberal system where elections remain but are distorted, privacy erodes, and political power rests with access and money rather than expressed consent and rule of law.
297 - Anne Applebaum: Trump Is Building an Autocracy | On Putin, Kushner, and America’s Future
Q: How does the current setup change the way foreign policy is formed at the policy or legal level?
The traditional NSC-driven policy process seems eroded; decisions are made on the fly by the president or lower-level actors, bypassing a formal, tradition-bound policy process.
297 - Anne Applebaum: Trump Is Building an Autocracy | On Putin, Kushner, and America’s Future
Q: What is your strongest evidence for the claim that American foreign policy serves private interests more than public ones?
The guest points to the growing role of business envoys, silent diplomats, and the intertwining of personal wealth with policy decisions, as well as documented cases of pardons and financial incentives shaping governmental action.
