  • Not that funny

    As a psychologist I enjoy the depth and breadth of discussions. There are frequently attention-getting stories of the week that are quite amusing. However, much of the time, during the first part of the podcast, Bills’s laughter is appallingly inappropriate to the context and can be disconcerting. Honestly, it sounds a bit thought-disordered.

  • Excellent Episide- March 1

    Update:

    Joe Cirincione speaks with confidence but is incorrect. The US did not run out incumbent and that is why Donald Trump has a 2nd term. Look at US history- incumbents win reelection unless we are in a recession. We are not in a recession thanks to Joe Biden.

    You guys may feel better thinking that incumbents losing globally indicates that Biden would have lost- but it’s only lazy speculation on your part. It may be your truth. But it’s not the truth.

  • Great pod with Rev Jim Wallis.

    He spoke so eloquently and hit the nail on the head. Thank you for having him on. My husband and I listened twice through the mention of his first day in South Africa with Bishop Desmond Tutu. We found some calm to ground us through a corrupt, authoritarian regime. Thanks again, always an interesting, thoughtful discussion.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bibi and AIPAC are Fracturing Americans’ Support for Israel
Q: What is the most likely outcome of the Iran war according to the guests?
The most likely outcome is a long-running conflict with a weakened Iranian regime still in place, a persistent U.S. military footprint, higher oil prices, and ongoing regional instability, rather than a quick, decisive victory that conclusively reshapes the region.
Bibi and AIPAC are Fracturing Americans’ Support for Israel
Q: What should Democrats who are running for office today do about Israel and the Iran war?
Democratic candidates should present a balanced, middle-ground stance: affirm a strong, enduring U.S.-Israel relationship, acknowledge Palestinian rights, push for diplomacy where possible, and avoid blanket support or blanket opposition. This approach aims to regain broad, bipartisan support among voters, including independents and younger constituents.
Bibi and AIPAC are Fracturing Americans’ Support for Israel
Q: Is it correct to say that J Street is the alternative to AIPAC?
Yes, there is a spectrum of opinion; J Street positions itself in the center, advocating for a diplomacy-first approach, recognizing Israeli security needs while supporting Palestinian rights, as an alternative to the traditional 'Israel right or wrong' stance often associated with AIPAC.
Two Races That Could Reshape Politics: Texas Senate and California’s Jungle Primary.
Q: What are the dynamics of the California governor's race in the jungle primary?
The field is crowded with eight Democrats and two Republicans; the main concern is whether vote-splitting among Democrats could allow two Republicans to lead the ballot in November, which is plausible given the current polling and fundraising gaps among some candidates.
Two Races That Could Reshape Politics: Texas Senate and California’s Jungle Primary.
Q: Could a Democrat win statewide in Texas this cycle?
Yes, it's possible if turnout remains high and the candidate can appeal to moderates and key demographic groups, but it would require overcoming a strong Republican baseline and Trump-era dynamics.
