    I was a passionate Leftist until the Oct 7th Hamas massacre, and suddenly nothing made sense anymore. This podcast aligns with my changing beliefs and helps me navigate in an otherwise insane world.

  • Finding out about James…

    I’m really grateful for your work and for you actually putting in the thousands of hours to learn the language of the left. You are right about what they are doing and it’s very disappointing to watch James in real time canceling/blocking voices that are actually telling the truth based on listening to what the “enemy” tells us they are doing in real life. Thanks you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SECRET RECORDING of the Party for Socialism and Liberation Calling to Overthrow the US Government
Q: Can socialism and democracy coexist? What is the difference between revolutionary socialism and democratic socialism?
The panel suggests that socialism expands democracy far beyond voting, emphasizing active, mass participation by workers, students, and other groups in running society, while distinguishing revolutionary socialism from reformist democratic socialism by advocating a broader, collective ownership and governance structure rather than procedural reforms alone.
Trans Man Admits Grooming Child To Be Trans From Birth (Exclusive)
Q: Hi, Jacoby, thank you for joining us.
Jaocby introduces themselves and frames their parenting approach around gender expansive practices and the book Trans Body Magic.
Proof that TSA workers are working with leftist unions fight "fascism" and Trump
Q: What is Project 2025 and how could it change TSA operations and union power?
Project 2025 is described as a plan to privatize the TSA and weaken or eliminate unions, potentially shifting airport screening to private firms and prioritizing throughput over security, which could undermine workers' protections and public safety.
Proof that TSA workers are working with leftist unions fight "fascism" and Trump
Q: What is happening with TSA workers and why does it matter for the broader federal workforce?
TSA officers have gone without pay for over a month, affecting their ability to meet basic needs and highlighting the fragility of pay structures for federal workers, which in turn fuels organized labor action and public scrutiny.
Karlyn Borysenko Joins Infowars To Discuss Infiltrating Antifa, The Anti-ICE Protests, and May Day
Q: What sorts of trends do you see demographically in terms of younger people being more radical or older people being disconnected with the reality of what they're involved in?
Younger people, especially those under thirty, are more extreme in their thinking influenced heavily by post-9/11 and Occupy Wall Street ideologies.
