Consider This from NPR - Why are Israel’s deals to exchange hostages so lopsided?

An Israeli delegation is in Cairo to hash out details for the second phase of a ceasefire deal with Hamas.

Under the first phase of the deal, Hamas agreed to release a total of 33 Israeli hostages – and Israel said it would free around 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

NPR's Jerome Socolovsky looks into why Israel has long accepted lopsided deals to bring back abducted citizens.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Reimagining The Famous Debate Between Baldwin & Buckley

Is the American Dream achieved at the expense of the American Negro? That’s the question that civil rights icon James Baldwin and conservative leader William F. Buckley debated in the Cambridge Union on February 18, 1965. A new play at DePaul’s TimeLine Theatre’s is bringing that question to modern audiences, capturing the relevance of the debate 60 years later. Reset sits down with the two lead actors, Teagle F. Bougere and Eric T. Miller, to find out what it’s like to reenact a haunting historical discussion and how the play resonates with the current moment.

1A - The Story Behind Executive Orders

We've heard about a lot of them the last few weeks.

They're one powerful tool in a commander-in-chief's arsenal to enact their agenda.

Donald Trump has made heavy use of the executive order in the past few weeks, but so have his predecessors. Both Joe Biden and Barack Obama issued many Executive Orders during their times in office.

We discuss the practice and boundaries of Executive Orders.

The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: Taking A Wrecking Ball to the Government

Firing air traffic controllers over a busy holiday travel weekend, cutting a veterans crisis hotline, axing and then rehiring people who maintain and keep our nuclear arsenal safe: Musk and his minions aren't trying to "fix" the government. They're trying to make it more susceptible to Trump's personalized leadership. And the MIA Dems need to get out there and throw some punches since the media loves fights. Meanwhile, the US is now more of a problem than a solution on Ukraine, Elon's massive corruption isn't drawing anywhere near the same attention as Hunter/Burisma—and Bill Cassidy could just vote against Kash or delay his confirmation if he's really worried about the FBI. 

 Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller
