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

Q: Ambassador Jeffrey, speak to the significance of the last 24 hours and how the United States signaling affects any possibility of a return to talks.
