Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Saturday Extra election special
Q: How big a concern is that?
Jonathan Diaz says false claims about election fraud are highly likely, based on Donald Trump's past conduct. He describes other possible interference as legally prohibited, while noting that intimidation near polling places and legal challenges to results are more immediate concerns.
A Saturday Extra election special
Q: What do you think explains the kind of uncertainty around this result?
Tamar Ish-Shalom explains that Israel's coalition system allows both major blocs to fall short of the 61 seats needed for a majority. Arab-led parties have a record number of seats, but ideological differences and political commitments complicate coalition options.
Inside the protests tearing France apart
Q: What would your advice be for us? And also, people who are considering, particularly women, going into public service, what would your advice be to them?
Cox encourages people to enter public service despite the risks, show solidarity and use the moment to make lasting changes, especially to policies addressing social media and the information environment.
Inside the protests tearing France apart
Q: Have you seen anything like this before? And give me a sense of what it's like to be in the middle of it.
Chrysafis says the scale of both peaceful demonstrations and rioting, as well as the police response, is unusually large. She describes a tense city, looted shops, curfews and fire-damaged streets.
Was this the week the US changed sides in the Ukraine war?
Q: What is at stake here in these US midterm elections? Why is the control of Congress so very important?
Bruce Wolpe says Congress determines whether Trump can advance his legislative program and can use its oversight powers to investigate the administration. A shift in control could limit the president's influence and prompt significant political upheaval.
