Live-streamed on February 16, 2024 Sam and Emma speak with political commentator Olayemi Olurin to round up the week in news. https://twitter.com/msolurin https://www.youtube.com/ @olurinatti Olayemi Olurin then joins, diving right into her insight into New York’s ongoing manufactured crises around crime and immigration, particularly from her perspective as a defense attorney. Olurin first looks to the evil of Eric Adams as she explores the roots of these “crises” in the NYC Mayor and the New York Democratic machine, diving into his ongoing attack on bail reform, and how the bail system serves as economic leverage for prosecutors, before touching on the potential ends of the FBI’s investigations into his campaign. Next, Olay walks Sam and Emma through the recent Democratic endorsement of the New York Democrats’ moderate push after Tom Suozzi’s victory in NY-3, looking at the insanity of presenting Long Island politics as “normal,” and tackling Democrats’ insistence on remaining outrageously out of touch with their constituents. She also discusses the tactic of voting for the weakest adversary, before wrapping up the interview by touching on the unsurprising fact of the Democratic Party’s support for Israel.

Joshua Landis Sandra Mackey Chair in Middle East Studies and Professor of Middle Eastern History joins the program to discuss America's punishing sanctions on Syria. U.S. lawmakers are considering a bill that would tighten sanctions on Syria and hinder the normalization of relations with any government led by President Bashar al-Assad. Some analysts argue that the sanctions would primarily harm the Syrian people rather than the Assad regime, while others believe they will prevent Damascus from rebuilding and consolidating its power. The proposed legislation called the Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act of 2023, expands on the existing Caesar Act, which imposed sanctions on Syria in 2020. The bill aims to penalize Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, that have re-established diplomatic ties with the Assad government if they invest in Syria. The United States has been urging Arab states to seek concessions from Assad before normalizing relations, but there has been little progress. The conflict in Syria has resulted in the deaths of nearly half a million people and the displacement of millions more. Some experts argue that the sanctions will further impoverish the Syrian people without bringing justice to Assad, while others believe the measures will prevent the regime from rebuilding and consolidating power. Arab states did not publicly commit to financially supporting Syria's reconstruction during the Arab League summit, but they have urged Damascus to halt the production and trafficking of captagon, a lucrative amphetamine for the regime. If the bill passes, any investment, grant, contract, or donation exceeding $50,000 to parts of Syria controlled by the Assad government would trigger a review for possible financial penalties. It's important to note that Assad still does not have control over certain regions of Syria, particularly the northeast and northwest.
