  • Thank you, Jon

    Despite being a comedian, Jon is an unabashedly patriotic American. He brings up topics that involve democracy and societal issues, while trying to discover a solution with guests. These guests are not exclusive to one side of the political spectrum, and the conversations — while sometimes heated between co-guests — are diplomatic and respectful.

    Aside: I put in the em-dash, not AI. AI has stolen my favorite punctuation. :-/

    I love Jon Stewart because he will ask the questions that need to be asked--but not in this podcast. I am sorry, we would not have been losers if Clinton had won in 2016, retribution is very different from justice and ethics. What Comey did was unethical--to do that to one candidate and then hold back on election interference from the other? If Clinton had won, he needed to be called on the carpet for it. JUSTICE IS NOT RETRIBUTION!

A Conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker
Q: Have you experienced this at any other time with any other presidency?
This moment stands out because it's creating a hostile environment intentionally and lacks coordination, unlike during the Biden administration.
A Conversation with Gov. JB Pritzker
Q: So how would you like an operation like that to unfold? What would be your preferred method for this to happen?
We want to coordinate with the feds around violent crime, but ICE's ability to issue administrative warrants without judicial support complicates the situation.
On Gaza and Humanity with Mosab Abu Toha
Q: Mosab, is there a contiguous... How do we extract ourselves?
Yes, there is one way, which is when the world starts to care about the security of the Palestinian people, the same way they care about the security of Israel.

Q: What aspect of historical revolutions are most critical for collaborations in the fiction you create?
