Anti Palestinian racism is the norm among Americans. Political and media class. Endless time is sent on this contrived story of Jewish students feeling unsafe and antisemitism of the protesters.Palestinian American are literally killed, assaulted, shot out, and it all goes without mention. Palestinian Americans are killed by Israeli forces, and our government goes nothing. Can anytime be sent on this obvious bias and racism found in our media and politics?
This movie was a joke. The ”journalists” are basically vultures & the message of the movie is empty. Y’all just LOVE to stroke your own ego’s don’t ya?
Trump will shift on abortion long enough to get elected. Once in office, he can do anything. He only needs ”day one” to establish himself as dictator. There is no reason to think much opposition will come from a grovelling and spineless GOP Congress; or the Supreme Court; or the Federalist Society, or any other institution that has paid lipservice to the Constitution.
Meh, the kids will sort themselves out. Some will self-delete, and that’s alright. We already don’t care about the adult men who self-delete. So why should we pretend to care about the kids that do it, too?
The fact that both women on this program couldn’t even begin to entertain the idea that young white men can be struggling with serious social problems is emblematic of this problem. Women can’t even BEGIN to imagine what young men growing up in this more ”progressive” era are even dealing with. Worst of all: they genuinely don’t care to know. It’s a perfect example of the double standards of today. Hope you do a follow-up that addresses the unprofessional speakers from this one.
you guys teach us we can disagree and still really like each other! what a great example. love your show!
I have to say, the combination of you all is delightful. Enlightening and interesting from your different backgrounds and experiences. I would invite you to a dinner party. Carry on! 🥳
I just found your podcast today. It’s the first podcast series that I really feel comfortable with. Love your intellectual ability. The picture of you on the podcast is so beautiful. Thank you Jane.
Raised Catholic with 12 years of Catholic school, I have issues with the Catholic church commenting on Biden's politics and his right to receive communion. He did not commit a sin. But my true issue here is the hypocrisy of the church. How many priests celebrated mass and the consecration of the eucharist after abusing children? These priests confessed. Other priests knew about the behavior of some of their colleagues and did nothing. Pope Francis needs to deal with these bishops.
Ideologues, don't you love ideologues who have the answers okay to loan forgiveness not $10,000 but not $50,000. Where do you get a college education for under $50,000. East Coast arrogance do it my way. Sez Dell in Montana Bleeding heart liberal, NYT reader for 30+ years
Like the other two commenters I too was hoping to understand why anyone in their right mind could support this president and I was left just as mystified after the interview as I have been for the previous 3-1/2 years. Just because a guy claims to be a populist doesn't mean he gets a pass on all the bullsh*t he's putting this nation through. He's completely lacking as a leader and these guests gave absolutely no reasonable justification why anyone should support him.
I listened hoping to learn why anyone would still believe in Trump. Well educated people who were not challenged at all in this discussion. Where were the questions on the lies, the misogyny, the xenophobia and children in cages? Softball interview. No specificity in questions and the answers were openly seeking to return to1950s America. No thank you.
The notion of Congress acting aggressively, such as arrest, to inforce their subpoena power humerous - what other real choices are there? I don't think many understand exactly what the choices are and I certainly would love to hear some explored. It is unbelievably tiring and maddening to hear of yet another subpoena being simply ignored by this bad-faith executive branch. Without serious consequences, 'rule of law' is merely an idea that clearly this generation of Republican leadership chooses to interpret to their advantage or in other words, means absolutely nothing.
I finished listening to this podcast and went home to find Grand Designs. WOW! An Irish castle.
I agree and hope you still have debate around climate crisis. I don't think circular arguements due to an inept administration is a good one for giving up. There is such a vast array of problems and solutions that I think could be presented and make for facinating conversations and policy proposals. Instead of concentrating on the inability of the Trump WH to be able to grapple with this topic, I think listeners would be fascinated, involved and left hopeful as to how this issue, broken down, is still very much alive in the minds of some of their elders. Dont give up because Archie Bunker is a present American wannabe-demagogue in the highest office - there is much to be done and important ideas should be bandied around in the public forum as a commonplace not the exception. As well, the notion that getting rid of plastic straws belittles the larger solutions is incredibly hypocritical since all changes are important particularly American ones due to your population. All single use plastics are devastating on the whole. Let the annoyance of making small changes and removing the dangerous convenience of plastic in all of these intrinsically dangerous way serve as a reminder of the degree of the problem. I used to be able to throw out my garbage into one receptacle every week. Now I must pay attention to a calendar, separate organic waste, garden waste and reclycables into cumbersome bins. Now I must spend time washing out containers, bundling boxes and binding branches. Since I live in the city I must walk slolamom around smelly bins on pick up day. What good are you to the future with the kind of mindset that bemoans the inconvenience of a transitional solution while you slurp up soda at the movies?
One of your listeners had a valid question about your not dedicating enough airtime to the climate crisis. I'll hope your take the opportunity of the report just published Fossil fuels Just 10% of fossil fuel subsidy cash 'could pay for green transition' as seen in the Guardian, to pick up the topic again. Thanks, David
When I first saw Barak Obama speak, it did not occur to me that he was a black man. Actually, I wasnt aware that this was an issue until I read American commentary and then remembered what it was like to move to the Initdd States for the first time, thinking Miami, Florida would not be the racist and segregated city that it was.
Hi, I am a very regular listener of the podcast that lives in Cape Town. Really awesome to have the focus on my country for a change! I would love to meet Lydia briefly! +27727707820
