  • Please invite Sarah Kendzior on. (Pretty please.)

    Sarah Kendzior is a best selling author that MSM has ignored, despite her first book, “The View From Flyover Country”, being quoted from by HRC during her 2016 rallies. Her third book, “They Knew”, is especially elucidating for the present moment. She also has a Substack without pay wall; I recommend beginning with “Servants of a Mafia State”.

  • Liberal Zionism…..

    I’ve been an avid listener and Patreon subscriber since the start. I can’t help but notice the number of Israelis platformed & the way their feelings are coddled and their harmful Zionist talking points go unchallenged. Where are the Palestinian voices???

    It’s a dark world out there and, more often than not, you need to know there are others out there grappling with (and ridiculing) the same things. Matt, Daniel and their guests are absolutely class - get this into your ears for weekly relief.
