Just Ask the Question Podcast

In this weeks episode, we discuss Hope Hicks' testimony in court, the press briefing situation in the White House, campus riots, and the potential impact on the upcoming election. We analyze the ongoing trial of Donald Trump in New York and the arguments presented by both the defense and the prosecution. We also explore the parallels between the current political climate and the events of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The hosts debate whether Joe Biden and his team understand the challenges they face and if they are effectively responding to them. They also discuss Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to remove Mike Johnson as speaker of the House and the potential implications of her actions.

The conversation in this segment covers two main themes: the potential impact of the Republican Party's internal conflicts on the upcoming elections and the issue of inflation and its political implications. The discussion touches on the lack of a clear endgame for the Republicans' efforts to remove Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the potential effect of these conflicts on down-ticket elections, and the possibility of Donald Trump using the situation to claim election fraud. The conversation then shifts to the topic of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem shooting her dog and the twisted purpose behind it. Finally, we discuss the lack of a comprehensive plan from both Democrats and Republicans to address inflation and the potential consequences of rising prices on the middle class. The conversation concludes with a discussion about price gouging and the high cost of tickets for events.

This week on JATQ: our conversation with Mark Zaid explores the topic of Havana Syndrome, a mysterious illness that has affected American and Canadian diplomats and intelligence officers. The term 'Havana Syndrome' is considered inappropriate and misleading, as similar incidents have occurred in other locations. The symptoms of Havana Syndrome include pounding pressure in the head, vision problems, vertigo, nausea, migraines, and in some cases, projectile vomiting. The conversation delves into the history of microwave technology and its potential use as a weapon. It also discusses the possibility of foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, being behind the attacks. The US government's response to Havana Syndrome has been criticized, with accusations of a cover-up and a lack of protection for its personnel. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the future of the investigation and the potential implications of these attacks as acts of war.

This week on Just Ask the Question. The U.S. continues to show its support for U.S. journalist Evan Gerskovich who has been jailed in Russia for a year for doing his job, but on April 11, Julian Assange will have spent 5 years in prison for publishing Wiki Leaks. The U.S continues its pursuit of Assange while members of Congress, world leaders and other journalists clamor for his release. What's the difference? This week a court in England gave Assange new hope for freedom - or did it? That and more on this special episode of Just Ask the Question.

Takeaways:

Julian Assange's fight against extradition to the US continues, with recent developments allowing him to take his case to an appeal hearing.

The extradition decision raises concerns about press freedom and the First Amendment, as Assange's work involves publishing classified information.

Assange's physical and mental health have deteriorated during his five years in prison, and there are fears that extradition could lead to his death.

There is growing international support for dropping the charges against Assange, and pressure is being put on the Biden administration to take action.

Key Quotes from the episode:

"The judges could have refused his application to appeal and ordered his extradition to the United States."

"The judges actually said to the prosecutors, are you telling me that if anybody publishes this information, any journalist publishes this kind of information, under what you're proposing, you'd be able to extradite them to the United States."

"First Amendment rights are also your right to know, your right to read the information as well."
