Dr. Doshi was particularly impressive. Disappointing you put him behind the paywall, at the expense of Michael Wolff who seems to have his own version of the truth. Sells books, I guess.
Wolff is an exemplar of Trump Derangement Syndrome ( Malignant Variety). I assume his inclusion on this episode was a comedic interlude between two serious and thoughtful contributors.
Wolff was a disaster. I was wondering where he was coming from until he said “Trump wants to give the advantage to Putin”. Then it all made sense. He’s a left-wing TDS sufferer whose whole world has collapsed. His weary depressing voice says it all.
He should watch Ivor Cummings introducing Jeffrey Sachs:

And if he can stand a further spanking, watch the whole Sachs presentation to the EU Parliamentary group (strange video – starts at -11.05 point….)

Is Michael Wolf a lefty? His assessment if Trump might be quite accurate, but he made some statements that indicated he has lefty leanings
Wolf also states that Trump was indicted 4 times, but does not elaborate that these were mostly, lefty trumped up charges trying to prevent him from getting into the presidency.
Wolff unable to answer questions or provide any insight beyond a one-dimensional comic version of Trump that my 9-year-old would offer with more subtlety.
Laurie far too easy on him. Applaud guests with views from all sides but please, only those with something to say?
Very interesting discussion with Dr Doshi. Fascinating insight into the politics of how Net Zero insidiously controls events. The Chevron Deference being particularly iniquitous.
