Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • Thoughtfully challenging conventional wisdom

    Title says it all. My only concern is at times the host seems too deferential to interviewees, particularly the latest Israel-Gaza genocide episode. Both guests should have been challenged on their talking points not just try to justify their support for the flawed belligerents involved in the conflict.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is America's Financial Flu Fatal? Guest Douglas Holtz-Eakin (PhD)
Q: What do you think is driving this shutdown and how do you think we're ever going to get out of it?
The shutdown is driven by the progressive base of the Democratic Party seeking to aggressively oppose Donald Trump, showing their power by shutting down the government. However, they lack a clear exit strategy.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization: A New Era
Q: How much of the current attention given to SCO this year is driven by genuine developments versus media interest in the visuals?
While the visuals attracted attention, the confidence China is showing in its long-term objectives is notable, as it seems less reliant on the opinions of others.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization: A New Era
Q: How has the organization's influence increased since it was founded regionally?
China measures that by claims of having the highest participation levels in recent summits compared to past events, and the SCO's convening power is seen as influential.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization: A New Era
Q: Could you explain to people what the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is?
The SCO originated in the 90s to manage border disputes among China, Russia, and Central Asian states, but has since evolved to address a range of regional cooperation issues.
#26 Trump's National Security Strategy with Jahara Matisek (PhD)
Q: What does all this foretell for our relationship with Russia?
While sanctions can cause long-term issues, they haven't significantly weakened the current regime, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of US strategy.
