The October edition of the ICBW podcast is now available for download or streaming.  In part 1, we discuss Gaza in the context of America's complex relations with various regional powers.  In part 2, we explore the evolving meaning of the political "left" and "right" in an era of extremist factions like radical Islamism and bizarre characters like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.  And in part 3, we discuss abuses of executive power, especially to suppress speech or target political opponents.  As always, listeners are invited to participate in the discussion by commenting on this post.
