Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 72 ratings
  • Really unbalanced coverage and unnecessary sensationalism. Consistently brings on unserious GOP politicians, rarely calls out the illogical and inconsistent claims made and rarely brings in Democratic or opposition views

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Defends Iran Deal
Q: Senator, welcome back and thank you for your patience as we heard many words from the president there. I would love your take on this memorandum of understanding with Iran as you have been on this network many times during the Biden administration criticizing President Biden for not having stronger financial restrictions around Iran via sanctions and other means. Does it sit well with you, the notion that we could soon have an easing of sanctions and a releasing of frozen assets?
Senator Hagerty indicated that any easing should be contingent on actual Iranian performance, and that the current MOU is not a treaty but a stepping stone that must lead to verifiable actions before sanctions relief or unfrozen assets would be granted.
Trump Signs US-Iran Deal
Q: How might the deal compare to the JCPOA, and what is the Gulf states' reaction?
Mona suggests the Gulf states are cautiously relieved by the opening but worry about Iran's enhanced capabilities and the balance of incentives and constraints in the MOU.
Trump Signs US-Iran Deal
Q: What could be accomplished in the next 60 days to fill in blanks of the agreement?
Mona Yacoubian notes that while some questions can be addressed quickly, the nuclear issue and inspections require careful, extended work with allies and verification regimes.
Trump Cancels Planned Iran Strikes in Latest Reversal
Q: Do you really believe we could see a deal between the US and Iran signed soon?
Jonathan Panikoff responds with guarded optimism, acknowledging recent posts and negotiations, but cautions that the deal's final terms may still be pending Iranian agreement and that timelines could slip.
Trump Says Iran Talks Continue
Q: What are the main domestic political obstacles to the anti‑weaponization fund?
Guardrails and partisan support in the Senate are the key hurdles, with concerns about sovereignty and oversight influencing whether the fund gets passed in time for legislative votes.
