  • If I could give more than 5 stars I would

    If you have a brain and a moral compass you’ll love this podcast. Anyone standing up to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel, our increasingly fascist country, and the evil cancer that is the billionaire class deserves a medal! Even if you disagree with them your children’s children will remember them as being on the right side of history and for standing up for what’s right. They report things very accurately and also give their opinions which is usually spot on. Anna is like one of my favor... more

  • Wondering

    If Hasan Piker knows that what he says is helping the Israelis to use his words as an excuse to not let America end the war with Iran, why he keeps saying what he’s saying ? (even if a lot is true) blows my mind

  • This A Israeli Media Program

    Your show is so hyper focused on Israel it’s borderline creepy.

    You trash every progressive democrat - yet warmly embrace Candace Owen’s and Tucker Carlson.

    It’s strange to not give any space to AOC - and accept Tucker’s midlife crisis as genuine.

    Hassan is the future of the Democratic Party. You guys are a bunch of Israely podcasters at this point.

    When you’re ready to deal with America I’m ready to listen.

  • Cenk is insufferable

    Ana does well explaining situation and although I disagree with her about half the time, she atleast attempts to spread the truth

    Cenk is absolutely unhinged. If he catches a cold it’s because of Israel. The man sits there and looks like Charlie from It’s always sunny with his wild conspiracy theories. He needs medical attention.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ticking Time Bomb - October 22, 2026
Q: Do you think that after Trump is gone, does any of this ever meet consequences? Is there any accountability?
Yasmin Aliya Khan says she hopes justice is possible but would be surprised if powerful figures face consequences, given the depth of corruption and impunity.
Ticking Time Bomb - October 22, 2026
Q: Who do you think is pushing for this and why?
Katie Halper says the motivations may include Netanyahu's goals, Trump's desire for revenge and to exercise power, and political calculations within the administration.
Floating More War - October 20, 2026
Q: And in this case, he is going to literally burn the world to make sure that he benefits and he wins. But my question is, and I don't know the technical answer to this. If it's after the elections, but before they form a different government, can he still order a strike or no?
Parsi says Netanyahu could still order a strike after an inconclusive election, since Israel's parliamentary system may leave a period without a new governing coalition. He adds that Netanyahu could calculate that war would strengthen his position in another election.
Floating More War - October 20, 2026
Q: So tell us a little bit more about how Iran, in their view, needs those things. And that, am I right that right now they have no chance of getting them?
Parsi says Iran needs sanctions relief, but it will be reluctant to make nuclear concessions if it expects the United States to reverse relief or fail to sustain a deal. He sees a limited possibility of smaller agreements that could reduce tensions, even if a final agreement remains unlikely.
Echoes Of Survivors - October 19, 2026
Q: What were the State Department emails deliberating in regard to what the talking point should be?
Loffredo says officials circulated suggested talking points and instructed staff not to describe his detention as wrongful, while he found no evidence in the emails that they used diplomatic efforts to secure his release.
