EP:52 Melissa Witte 'The Village Crazy Lady' - How Christian Zionism Grew into a Foreign Policy Force (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scripture gets quoted on the campaign trail like it’s a strategy memo and that should make every citizen, religious or not, pause. We talk with returning guest Melissa Whittier (known online as the Village Crazy Lady) about her new research series on the history of Christian Zionism and why it surged into mainstream politics so fast after October 7. Along the way, we unpack the “bless Israel to be blessed” talking point and what it means when elected leaders publicly build foreign policy on a si
EP:50 - Jenin Younes : Journalist Max Blumenthal detained by CPD. Younes on the case! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Free speech in the United States is often celebrated as a settled principle, but this conversation shows how quickly the First Amendment gets bent when fear, geopolitics, and executive power collide.

We start with a big historical question: is Washington walking into a strategic disaster on the scale of Vietnam, or something even more destabilizing for the US global footprint? The discussion frames “costless war” as an illusion created by an all-volunteer military, drone warf
Populist Pushback And Progressive Pitfalls. / Anya Parampil Exposes the Free Speech Trap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A country can survive a coup attempt or survive sanctions, but what happens when a catastrophic earthquake hits at the exact moment state capacity is at its weakest? We sit down with journalist Anya Parampil to trace how Venezuela’s double earthquake turns into a high-stakes geopolitical opening, where recovery needs collide with sovereignty, foreign influence, and the scramble to control what comes next. We unpack Anya’s reporting and arguments about the post-disaster landscape: why sanctions m
