Not a Great Couple of Days for Trump Feb 25, 2025

The courts are balking, Macron is correcting, the vote on Ukraine was shameful, and appointing a podcaster to be #2 at the FBI is dumb. It's 35 days in; maybe the president needs to start focusing on doing things well? Give a listen.

Show notes

Jonathan Schanzer joins us after the monstrous day in which Gazans danced around the coffins of a baby and a toddler who, we learned, had both been shot in the head more than a year ago—and around the coffin in which, as it turned out, their mother's body had not been placed. What will the rage and horror inside Israel mean for the continuation of war-fighting in Gaza—and should Israel look beyond Hamas to deliver a deadly blow to Iran instead? Give a listen.

DOGE Soldiers Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

If you want to move fast and break things, the problem is that you may break things you want—and you'll look sloppy, careless, and incompetent in the process. Is that what's happening with DOGE and Elon Musk? And what on earth is New York state Kathy Hochul doing with this idea she should "remove" the duly elected mayor of New York City? Give a listen.
