    Jan 12 2024

    The Israel-Gaza war continues unabated, but now Israeli rules of engagement are starting to be questioned by the nation’s allies. There are also fears about a larger conflict in the Middle East after Islamic State takes credit for a deadly bombing in Iran.

    The President of Harvard resigns in the wake of twin scandals. Is she a victim of culture wars, or is she simply a sloppy scholar?

    Donald Trump wants the Supreme Court to decide whether he should be on the ballot in Colorado. Big implications there.

  • The Intersection S9 Ep8 Gaza. Trump. Biden should not run
    Dec 12 2023

    The US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease fire in the war between Hamas and Israel. This despite 13 nations voting for it.

    The Biden Administration is getting hard blowback, and not just from the expected places. 

    A federal judge approves a settlement barring the separation of migrant families. An appeals court has upheld but narrowed the gag order on a certain... former president.

    And finally, one of the toughest pieces I’ve ever had to do in a podcast. Biden should not run.

  • Mark Riley The Intersection S9 Ep 7 Gaza - why not a tribunal Santos. Supreme Court Ethics Code
    Nov 21 2023

    Last time out I told you the war between Israel and Hamas was fast becoming a propaganda war fought on social media. The actual battlefield remains real, but so too does the fights on social media. Just ask Elon Musk.
    Are we finally rid of George Santos? The chair of the House Ethics Committee has ruled he has none, he’s announced he’s not running for re-election, but now there’s yet another effort to expel him from the House. Does it make a difference? There’s yet another climate study that says earth is in trouble. Is it time to tell the truth and say politicians aren’t capable of doing anything about it?  The Supreme Court has a new ethics code. Does it really mean anything?
