December 13, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Tories Crush Corbyn, Tentative Trade Optimism, Biden’s Big Problem” on Spreaker.

It’s finally Friday!  Yes, we are fully aware of the impeachment votes in the House Judiciary Committee but Jim sums up his analysis in roughly two seconds as we begin today’s podcast.  After that Jim and Greg celebrate the big win for the Conservative Party in the UK and are thrilled to report the political demise of Jeremy Corbyn.  They are also hoping that the substance matches the excitement as Congress prepares to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement to replace NAFTA and President Trump announces agreement on “phase one” of trade negotiations with China.  And Jim details why Joe Biden’s campaign could face serious turbulence after reports that Hunter Biden had a 1988 drug arrest expunged at the same time Sen. Biden was advocating for very tough drug crime sentencing.

Breaking Down A Baffling Week in British Politics

September 6, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Breaking Down A Baffling Week in British Politics” on Spreaker.

Luke Coffey, direction of the Allison Center for Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation, explains what happened in the UK this week and why.

Why did Prime Minister Boris Johnson ask Queen Elizabeth II to suspend parliament? Why did this common tactic cause such a stir that Johnson lost his working majority in parliament? Why does Johnson want new elections? Why does parliament oppose them?

Listen to the full podcast as we address all of these questions and discuss the impact of all of this on Brexit and why there’s such a sharp divide between what the public wants and what parliament wants.

French Parliament Considering Restrictive Bill in Effort to Combat Fake News

June 6, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/French-Fake-News-Bill_take-3.mp3

By Mitchell Sanders

The French parliament is set to debate a bill on Thursday designed to regulate campaign-related misinformation.

If passed into law, the billwould allow French authorities to bar the publication of any information they deem false in the run-up to elections. Additionally, the bill would
allow the state to yank foreign broadcasters off the air if they are judged as attempting to destabilize France. It would also compel social media
networks to introduce measures that would allow users to flag content for official government review

The bill has sparked fears of censorship; critics assert it could be used by authorities to block unflattering or compromising stories. Legal expert Vincent Couronne insists that the law is “not only imperfect and unnecessary but also dangerous for the peace and diversity of public debate.”

Other experts agree, saying that the bill is a step towards censorship and insisting that the bill will turn judges into arbiters of true and false.

French politician Marine Le Pen questions, “Is France still a democracy if it muzzles its citizens?”

Under the bill, judges would have only forty-eight hours to make their decision.
