  • The most valuable and comprehensive podcast there is

    Paul Jay is a treasure. His work via The Analysis picks up where he left off from the Real News Network and presents a thoroughly nuanced, multifaceted examination of all matters of the day. The guest list is also a treasure trove, consisting of the best minds in journalism, history, sociology, economics, activism, and politics. This podcast has been a lighthouse among the fog of partisan, commercialized, bereft, and toxic media within the tragic reality and times we find ourselves in. It has be... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

History of U.S. Aggression Against Cuba - James Early
Q: James, let's begin with the indictment against the former president Raúl Castro. What is this about and who are the brothers to the rescue?
The indictment is framed as a propagandistic move to justify external intervention; it uses the age and status of Raúl Castro to create a rationale for pressuring Cuba, while the real impact is seen in how the U.S. is pressuring Cuban leadership and citizens through sanctions.
Truth and Consequence: Reflections on Catastrophe, Civil Resistance, and Hope - Daniel Ellsberg
Q: How does your father view the role of insiders and whistleblowers in preventing catastrophic decisions?
He believed insiders have a duty to expose harmful plans and withdraw participation when possible, even if it risks their career or freedom, to prevent mass harm and defend democratic norms.
Truth and Consequence: Reflections on Catastrophe, Civil Resistance, and Hope - Daniel Ellsberg
Q: What is the central moral message from your father's writings that you highlighted in the introduction of his book?
The central message is that deliberately targeting civilians is terrorism and that terrorism is wrong regardless of who commits it, which frames ethics across generations and conflicts.
US Military Commanders: Iran War Is GOD'S PLAN for Armageddon - Mikey Weinstein of MRFF
Q: Can you tell me about this?
We've been monitoring complaints for years, representing over 100,000 service members who report being pressured or proselytized in ways that conflict with the constitutional wall between church and state, and we're seeing a surge in cases tied to Christian nationalist rhetoric in high places.
Israel's War - Trump's Disaster - Miloud Chennoufi
Q: What are the prospects for de-escalation and a peaceful settlement in the region?
A multi-path approach is proposed: leveraging existing Arab initiatives, rebuilding diplomacy that connects Palestinian rights with broader regional stability, and prioritizing economic development and sovereign integrity to attract reformist currents within Iran rather than provoking a collapse scenario.
