  • Hedges an embarrassment

    Chris should move out of the USA. He is a frustrated intellectual who is not honest w himself. Sad to see his talent used to continue to criticize Trump at the expense of moral progress. I cannot find any evidence of any positive comments about anything positive Trump has delivered. When someone like him cannot find any goodness in another person, there is something fundamentally wrong.

  • Editing?

    Who edits these? Listening to an episode and the edits were left in. Can hear them discussing scrapping something multiple times. Very distracting.

  • Please fix audio

    One of the best programs and best journalists out there. That’s why it’s very perplexing to have the audio mixed way too quietly (it’s cranked to max in my car) and I’m sorry to

    Say it but the latest episode you dropped sounds like you fired your editor. It’s unedited, and you can hear the same take 3 times instead of the one good take. Then the guest didn’t hear your question due to quiet mic audio (lol) and that was all left in the episode.

  • Top tier journalism

    This podcast is very informative, has great guest, and asks the needed questions that mainstream media will not. Because this podcast is searching for truth while mainstream media is trying to spread propaganda. Also listen to Breaking Points, Democracy Now, Bottomline, The Take.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Real Reason Palestine Action Was Deemed a 'Terrorist' Organization (w/ Huda Ammori) | TCHR
Q: So the state, as it becomes more draconian, and there are numerous arrests, very famous, holding, I don't know when you can tell me when, but holding up a sign that says, I support Palestine Action, and I want to make it clear, I do support Palestine Action, but it became a criminal offense.
Ammori explains that the ban criminalized verbal support for Palestine Action and led to arrests during a civil-disobedience campaign, including arrests for signs supporting the group and its imprisoned members.
The Real Reason Palestine Action Was Deemed a 'Terrorist' Organization (w/ Huda Ammori) | TCHR
Q: And I just wondered before we begin, if you could tell us a little bit about your own, that resistance within your own family.
Ammori says her Palestinian great-grandfather took part in an uprising against British colonizers, was assassinated, and had his home destroyed. Palestinians later rebuilt the home and recovered his body.
How the GOP Is Working to Steal the Midterms (w/ Joel McCleary and Mark Medish) | TCHR
Q: Is the Democratic Party aware of the precarious moment, and is it creating mechanisms to protect the vote?
Mark Medish says party leaders and civil society groups are more vigilant, but the party is oriented toward winning conventional elections and is less prepared for unconventional efforts to disrupt certification and results.
How the GOP Is Working to Steal the Midterms (w/ Joel McCleary and Mark Medish) | TCHR
Q: What are some of the most important concerns about interference, including purging voting rolls and the possibility of declaring martial law?
Mark Medish cites attempts to restrict mail voting and seize voter rolls, possible federal or military presence near polling places, and escalation to the Insurrection Act or emergency powers. He warns that unrest or an international crisis could be used as a pretext to disrupt elections.
How the Trump Admin. Is Expanding the Definition of ‘Terrorism’ — and What It Means (w/ Dan Boguslaw) | TCHR
Q: So what are Fusion Centers?
Boguslaw explains that Fusion Centers were created to share intelligence among federal agencies and state and local police, and that corporate security has also become integrated into these information-sharing networks.
