  • Sanity, with a dose of humour

    Jon and his guests are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and funny — all while respecting the weight of the topics they cover. Jon’s natural curiosity and eagerness to learn allow him to get expert insights from a group of very interesting people, making us all a bit more knowledgeable in the process. I love his colourful language, too! Swearing is a highly effective way to communicate, especially when it is done with this much gusto. 😁

  • You like Hasan Piker? Really?

    I used to be a fan and follower who watched Stewart on TV religiously. I always respected that he could champion progressive causes without excluding broader ones. In particular, his work for 9/11 victims and first responders indicated a moral center that would not shift based on what was popular in politics. I guess I was wrong about that! Now Stewart is defending Hasan Piker, a pro-9/11, pro-Houthi Maoist. Jon, did the victims and first responders become less important to you, or did ratings b... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A More United Nations with PM Pedro Sánchez of Spain
Q: Do you think multilateralism is dead, or is there a path to reviving it in this era of shifting power?
Multilateralism is essential and must be rebuilt through broader participation and stronger, more representative leadership, including reform of decision-making processes and a renewed commitment to global cooperation.
Sen. John Fetterman on the Democratic Divide
Q: Senator, first of all, where's Senator Fetterman?
The guest clarifies that he is in a suit and engaging in the interview; the conversation then moves into broader policy and political dynamics rather than the physical location.
America, China, and the Tech Cold War with Chris Miller
Q: What is the relationship politically between the leaders of Taiwan and Xi of China?
The relationship is not transactional; Taiwanese leaders consistently express a desire for autonomy and independence, and polling shows growing identification as a separate country, which complicates any assumption of a peaceful economic deal that avoids military risk.
Foreign Policy and American Hubris with Ben Rhodes
Q: What should be the bar for future military action?
Any significant military action should require Congressional authorization, reflecting a constitutional check on the executive branch and ensuring public accountability for war decisions.
Foreign Policy and American Hubris with Ben Rhodes
Q: What foundational lesson does Libya teach about intervention?
Libya shows that even with broad support and a UN mandate, regime change via military action tends to create a vacuum that leads to chaos and warlordism instead of a stable outcome, undermining the initial humanitarian aim.
