This strange man spews untruth almost the entire time he’s talking. It’s a horrible waste of time.
Ryan is dedicated to understanding the system for what it really is. His guests on this show are people who have done the work and also understand the injustice in the system. If you’re hating on him, because he exposes them he’s doing a good job. F the haters and Ryan keep doing what you’re doing.
one of my favorites. ryan always has insightful conversations with great guests. keep up the good work and ignore the haters ✌️
Clintonistas or Koch Heads… doesn’t matter, all the same side.
Ryan Knight is a serial grifter who began his “career” opposing Trump and supporting the Democrats, and now he thinks Democrats are the World’s Greatest Evil. He has no allegiance to change or social justice: he just goes where the money is. His know-nothing guests are no better. If you get your news from this podcast, please find a better source of information.
He’s a propagandist for whoever pays him. Just look it up.
This podcast is so awful it will literally make you wish you didn’t have ears. Awful. Ryan Knight is a Twitter bully too
Ryan along with his brother Rory Sauter continuesthe family grift. Ryan has no values, it’s simply to shock people into listening to his grift.
Surely the 1 star reviewers on here are livid that Joe Biden isn’t passing a Public Option
Joe Biden still wants bipartisanship... and other reviews think Ryan is a grifter??? People are stupid
I was recently introduced to Amped Up through a friend who recommended it as an intriguing political podcast. Unfortunately, after listening to a few episodes, it is strikingly evident that the host has zero interest in anything remotely constructive. There is seldom positive discourse taking place geared toward promoting or amplifying causes, rather an insatiable appetite for the destruction of a 2-party system. Perhaps folks find pleasure in this type of righteous indignation, but without a co... more
For all his platitudes about fighting the good fight, Ryan platforms and amplifies the worst voices which will do nothing to reach his goals. His weak and shallow questioning combined with his lack of a concrete analysis makes for a very boring political podcast.
Don’t think dude has anything other than an axe to grind. Seems to be really bashing Dems in particular when he should be either adding something to the policy discussion other than sour grapes or taking aim at the Republicans that have spent 50 yrs undermining or flat out obstructing labor, social responsibility & intentionally dividing the country
Doesn’t seem to under stand much about theory or politics he just repeats platitudes and Twitter headlines I encourage u guys to listen to actual leftist voices not this grifter
If it wasn’t hosted by Ryan Knight and wasn’t about the things that he talks about this would be a great podcast.
