The discussion covers a deep dive into Roumieh and rethinking its prison location, a retrospective on Kataeb's role during the civil war, Syrian occupation and post-2005 politics, navigating ongoing paralysis amidst financial collapse and a firm belief (against the odds) that Lebanon's better days lie ahead.
