To clarify my comment above — the streaming works properly, but the podcast is the wrong show.

The mp3 file that you posted for your podcast of this show is actually a second copy of the other hour today, Elsewhere, USA. Please repost the proper podcast.

Dear On Point,

Please stop giving your real-time listeners a poorer broadcast in order to make your rebroadcast sound fresher, live-er.

I tuned into today’s show ~5 minutes late, listening to the S.O.S. confirmation hearing, and the language used on the show was ambiguous as to whether the hearing was happening live or ‘earlier this morning.’

Please anchor your show in the language of real-time.

E.g.: “Good morning [whomever] thanks for joining us.” Or,” Let’s go back to the Secretary of State confirmation hearing now underway.”

Are the rebroadcast/syndication listenership numbers that significantly increased by this, in my opinion, deceptive practice? Is it worth it? Do you get it?

I am hoping that Hillary will bring attention to women’s rights/ women’s education. Karen Hughes was not too successful, but hopefully Hillary can be more successful.
———————————————-
How will Hillary Clinton help with women’s rights? She called women who accused her husband of having sex with them liars; continuing to blame women for the sins of her unfaithful male spouse. She taught young girls that the way to obtain power is to marry the right man INSTEAD of climbing to the top on your own CV. After being given the highest power, position, and money she failed both at healthcare and the Democratic primaries. Instead of taking responsibility for her own personal failures, she cried sexism. Another bad example for young girls: when you fail to live up to your potential, blame men.

If those are your ideas of empowering women, I sincerely hope that Hillary Clinton stays far, far away from being so “helpful” to our gender.

Attributing a large part of today’s work stress to the fact that wives are in the work force and that there are then additional expenses (child care) is putting the cart before the horse. Many women would prefer to not work and would rather manage the home front. The question which should come first to today’s guest is: Why have women felt the economic need to work? That is, why have we been compelled to become 2 income families? Why has that necessary? Simple answer: Globalization.

Hillary Clinton will be nothing more than a puppet of the Israeli lobby in America. She will only make tough demands on Israel’s Arab neighbors will fending off any criticism of Israel or concessions by Israel. As a result, America’s standing in the Arab world will be met with greater contempt, hatred, and mistrust than ever.

Oh please, the US’ standing comes from its wealth and power relative to others. With falling oil prices, little has changed. Everyone takes our cash when there’s a natural disaster, no questions asked. Many have suggested that US troops should go to Zimbabwe, Dafur and the Congo. Why? Because we are rich enough to have a large military that is very mobile.

Should we be more like China and only offer aid when there’s a return on investment, like access to natural resources? How about Russian foreign policy? They’ve got lots of friends; actually they’ve got lots of people afraid of them.

A polarizing figure. Like it or not, this is not going to change no matter what title she is given.
How many male world leaders will cringe at the sound of her voice? They cannot be forced to accept her the way we are being forced.

What I would like to hear and see is a compendium of what our Secretary of States have said at their confirmation hearings versus what they have accomplished.

I hope that the rapport between Obama and Clinton will be more cooperative as opposed to the tension that was apparent with Bush and Colin Powell…

To what extent is the issue of global warming a foreign policy one?
