  • Anthony Davis is a Meidas Touch standout

  • Appreciation

    What a fascinating episode with Jared Yates Sexton! Plaudits and accolades, Anthony, for featuring him on your podcast.

    Sexton’s explication of the RWM’s worldview, ethos, and praxis of bifurcating humanity into those who deserve to live

    and thrive (only they, of course) and those who don’t (the rest of us) was both cogent and illuminating. How reprehensible! Building on this bedrock of white male supremacy, I was able to weave in the threads of slavery advocate Hammond’s Mudsill Theory and Fri... more

Prof. Corey Brettschneider comparing the illegality of Trump's White House to presidencies from history.
Q: How do the crimes of the 47th president compare to those from history?
Brettschneider argues that the current crisis parallels historical crises in American democracy, showing how the structure has been threatened before and how recovery is possible.
Miles Taylor warns of Trump's retribution campaign and attack on US constitutional norms and rights.
Q: Is this version of Trump more dangerous than even you had feared?
I think it's pretty close to what I had feared and to be more specific, I think something like 80% of the predictions that I made in my book, Blowback, have now come true.
Middle East analyst Jason Pack on the long term effect of Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran.
Q: Is the strike on Iran by the US encouraged by Netanyahu?
Yes, there are transactional elements at play between Trump and Netanyahu.

Middle East analyst Jason Pack on the long term effect of Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran.
Q: What's your take on the last week's activities coming out of this region?
The power balances in the Middle East have been transformed more than maybe any time since 9-11, particularly in light of Trump's recent actions.
