  • ITS GREAT

    I love that LPN’s got politics. Serena and Travis are informed, casual, not punching above their weight, keeping it light enough while being real, idk. Great job. The foreign report is GUUUD. Me not dumb dumb but me sometimes need slightly easier listening than like a deep dive heavy duty history audiobook on geopolitics. This is great, it’s exaaaactly what I want.

    And listen, I’ll say it: it’s funnier than The Majority Report. TAKE THAT SAM SEDER.

  • In-depth and funny!

    Seena, Travis (and the occasional guest) really go deep with the breakdown of the latest news. It's not ALL the news (thank the lord) it it's the main big stories that affect our world today and tomorrow. These are seasoned people who have done this work for many years now, and do it very well. Plus, they are genuinely funny!

The Trump Doctrine seems to be about prioritizing America first, which creates problematic scenarios regarding immigration and trade agreements.
Iran vs. Israel: The War Nobody Wanted | Foreign Report Bonus Episode
Q: Why is all this happening right now, specifically?
It stems from the breakdown of nuclear negotiations and the perception that Iran is close to developing a nuclear weapon, which prompted Israel to act preemptively.
