Deals & Dangers America, Hamas, and the Price of Peace
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
In this episode we unpack a shockwave of headlines: a high-profile peace arrangement brokered by the Trump administration — hailed as historic by some, deeply troubling by others. The hosts start by ripping into the partisan narrative that paints the president as unmoored, then turn to the substance: how the deal was stitched together, Qatar’s role, and why freeing large numbers of imprisoned Hamas fighters feels to them less like diplomacy and more like a repeat of past mistakes.
Expect blunt takes and emotional testimony: the hosts name atrocities that make any negotiated release explosive, explain why they think Hamas is militarily weakened yet still dangerous, and debate whether the diplomatic gains are worth the immediate risk to Israeli civilians and to long-term regional stability. They also explore domestic political fallout — who benefits, who’s being blamed, and how the story is being framed by both sides.
