Foreign Policy Live

I always look forward to these conversations! Keep ‘em coming. Thanks!

Trump said he would be a dictator on the BORDER day one only, in that he would CLOSE the border on day one. You are twisting words like the general media is so fond of doing. It’s a shame as it hurts your credibility.

Care to have any guests or points of view that actually challenge the leftwing opinions that overwhelmingly get center stage on the show? Making the world safe for your next cocktail party, I suppose.

I find a lot of the episodes of FP Live I listen to are just milk-toast (plain) and discussion with a slight focus on foreign policy aspects. There is no rigorous discussion of American (or any other nation’s) diplomacy, international dynamics, or geopolitical game theory. The interviewer’s questions are always mundane (what’s your background, what do you think about this, blah blah) and uninspired. There have been times an interviewee has had a pretty sharp or unorthodox opinion on a topic and voices a controversial opinion and the interviewer just lets them go on without asking questions to force them to flush out their viewpoint. If you’re looking for something to put on in the background FP Live is fine, but it’s not worth deliberately listening to as there are a multitude of other podcasts that simply put in more effort.
