  • Nature

    Professor Wolf is right but I wish he was wrong. Many citizens couldn’t pray to a tree because they don’t actually know about trees. Nature can be used to solve sophisticated issues, yet its lack of understanding by our society leaves solutions idled and fragmented like our nature itself.

    I hope you can implement some “tree facts” or nature factoids in a small section. I’ll tell you now, it’s in worse condition than politics.

    We can start to fix it all together much faster than politics. Like N... more

  • Nonsense

    According to this guy the Russian are responsible for everything bad that has happened, and they are incompetent. I’m surprised R. K. Swallows this propaganda. More power to the Russians in this do or die effort the USA government has authored.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran : Edge of Empire (w/Richard Wolff)
Q: How do you see the BRICS and global economic shifts affecting U.S. leverage in the Middle East?
They suggest that BRICS and other geopolitical economies now represent a larger, more interlinked economic unit that can challenge U.S. dominance, making traditional coercive tactics less effective and underscoring the need for recalibrating foreign policy to reflect a more multipolar world.
Iran : Edge of Empire (w/Richard Wolff)
Q: What are your thoughts on the decline of the American Empire in light of the Iran conflict?
The guest and host frame the situation as a watershed moment that exposes the fragility and overextension of American power, highlighting how economic dependencies, energy politics, and regional dynamics could force a reconsideration of U.S. strategic ambitions and potentially push toward exit ramps.
ICE is a Social Disease
Q: What recent events prompted a turnaround in political attitudes towards ICE funding?
The tragic killing of a nurse named Alex Preti has galvanized public and political interest, pushing some Democrats to reconsider ICE's funding and operations.
ICE is a Social Disease
Q: How is public sentiment shifting regarding ICE?
Public opinion has begun to shift significantly, with more people now supporting the abolishment of ICE than those who wish to preserve it. This reflects a growing awareness of ICE's actions over recent years that have led to increasing calls for reform or abolition.
Rose Penelope Yee, House Challenger
Q: Can an insurgent candidate really win against an establishment Democrat?
Yes, there are examples of candidates like AOC who started with little money but succeeded through grassroots support, showing that change is possible with enough backing from the community.
