Please no more time wasted on CEOs selling books!

S-town Fan

Preet at his best has few peers. But, please, no more fat cat CEOs selling books and fielding softballs questions with faux humility, e.g. Lloyd Blankfein, a snooze fest if ever there was one. (At least Barry Diller was entertaining.) Different story on matters of the law for which Preet and his expert guests make for fascinating listening.
Another GOP President Forces US into Middle East War Under False Pretenses

Mar 12

Johnsm44

Three biggest questions of Trump’s war against Iran: 1) Did Israel war criminal Netanyahu force a weak Trump to bomb Iran? 2) Did compromised Trump bomb Iran to help Putin with oil revenues & Russia’s war against Ukraine? 3) Did yet another Republican President force US into Middle East war by manufacturing false evidence, or to distract from Epstein sexual abuse that incriminates Trump?
Rahm!

This was a great podcast! I enjoyed so much. I’ve listened to Preet for several years and he interviews a variety of people. As our country stands on the precipice of democracy or autocracy, this was a timely interview. Rahm Emanuel is a thoughtful man with an understanding of the critical issues we face in this country. As we say in the country, he has common sense. He understands the root cause of some of our problems but loves this country in spite of its failings. Thanks Preet for a thoughtful podcast.
