The United States stands at the political precipice as Democratic and Republican forces, along with their allied mass media, contend, cajole, and combine to confuse. The future of the nation is at stake. Fortunately, voices of clarity, including Democratic strategist Josh Block and crisis manager Juda Engelmayer, join Edwin to cut through the chaos. Part II.

Putin’s nuclear rhetoric has become more bellicose. He is now tipping vassal Belorussian ICBMs with nuclear warheads. Iran has provided hundreds of killer drones to Russia in Ukraine. The US and UK are providing increasingly longer-range precision weapons with devastating impact. Britain is preparing to face Russia on the battlefield. Ukrainian forces may one day soon counterattack deep into Russian territory. A new international quad has emerged: China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea—and they all want to see the downfall of the West. How much closer are we to going nuclear? This is the update we never wanted to give on Putin’s war in Europe.

We remember where we were.

We remember the people.

We pause for a moment and we remember.

Spying, lying, denying, and the dangers of passive consent with privacy experts Michael Geist and Sharon Polsky, who join Edwin at the Canadian Privacy and Data Governance Conference, March 22–23, 2023, Ottawa.

The Edwin Black Show is on hiatus this week. Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone a happy 4th of July; we’ll be back on July 14 with an episode that examines the time when ophthalmologists teamed up with eugenicists to improve humanity’s eyesight—by urging the sterilization of everyone with less-than-perfect vision.

Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. Almost every episode, we run out of time before we run out of questions. We save them, and these episodes give us a chance to at last give answers on topics such as politics, energy, genocide, Ukraine, WWIII, and many more. Edwin will also accept questions live via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.

The Vintage Boys—Ken Abramowitz, Sheldon Freilich, Joshua London, and Jeff Morgan (Zalmi couldn’t make it this time)—are back to help Edwin ring in 2023. We’ll review the high and low points of 2022, share our hopes and goals for 2023, and (as usual) argue over the best wine and whiskey for the occasion while probing current events and history both recent and ancient. BYOB.

The Vintage Boys return to help Edwin look back at 5782, look forward to 5783, and (as usual) argue over the best whiskey and wine for the occasion while probing current events and history both recent and ancient. Join Joshua London in D.C., Zalmi Unsdorfer in London, Sheldon Freilich in Detroit, Ken Abramowitz in Palm Beach, and Jeff Morgan in San Francisco—and, BTW, BYOB.
