  • Love the show

    I remember Barbara Frum from the CBC and how great she was. When I began following David Frum I was a bit wary of his politics (I am a Canadian NDP member); however, I have consistently been impressed by his thoughtfulness and intelligence, as well as his measured analysis. I listen to the podcast every week and appreciate his insight.Annotation:: finding it weird that a conservative is now blaming Democrats for not doing enough …. That’s kind of dumb if you have been blowing the horn for conser... more

    Come for the amazingly sober and rational analysis. Stay for the time David talks about how the youths are dealing with the “sexual marketplace”.

  • Project 28

    Do the Democrats have a Project ‘28 in the works? They should, along with a timeframe for what needs to be accomplished quickly to undue what Trump is doing to our government and the country. This might be a good topic for a future podcast.

  • « L’Etat c’est moi »

    How amazing it is for the US Supreme Court to forget that their country’s first claim to independence was to reject the rule of a king. Indeed, their support of Mr. Trump’s policies, under cover of a pseudo-historical analysis, would allow him to make, if he had a scintilla of culture, the statement stated above.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cuba Is Collapsing. Will Trump Invade?
Q: Do interview subjects face repercussions for speaking openly?
Oppmann confirms that there can be repercussions, but he notes people are increasingly willing to speak out, etc.
Cuba Is Collapsing. Will Trump Invade?
Q: What is it like to report from Cuba under the current circumstances?
Oppmann describes severe logistical challenges—no reliable banking, scarce fuel, frequent power and internet outages, and a creeping sense of danger for journalists, which requires improvisation and constant planning.
Has Trump Corrupted the Military?
Q: Do you worry about a scenario where President Trump deploys the military for political ends or to influence elections?
Crow expresses a concern that the military could be pulled into partisan objectives, emphasizes the importance of civil-military norms, and notes possible risks of using troops for domestic political purposes, while outlining the need for constitutional checks and professional duty to follow lawful orders.
Has Trump Corrupted the Military?
Q: From a military point of view, how is this war proceeding?
Crow argues that while frontline operations are technically executed well, strategic planning and political oversight have been lacking, and senior military leaders have sometimes been less than candid, raising concerns about the overall war aims and the coherence between military action and national goals.
Trump’s Iran War: America's Loss Is China’s Win
Q: How credible is the fear that the U.S. is politically constrained from sustaining a long war in Iran?
The concern centers on political timing and public support; the host argues that without a clear, supported mandate, escalation risks undermining domestic legitimacy, which could prompt a tactical de-escalation or a shift toward diplomacy rather than irreversible military commitments.
