    This is not a review of the show, but a correction of another review:

    “Analysis by the Americans for Tax Fairness group earlier this year showed that 100 billionaire families donated $2.6 billion to candidates for last November's election, more than two-and-a-half times the amount spent in 2020.

    The billionaires "heavily favoured Republicans", the report said, with 70% of their donations going to the GOP, helping Donald Trump back into the White House.”

    Musk spent by far the most; nearly a q... more

  • Interesting episode but....stop turo tax from lying about "free" services

    Come on... you have an episode based on conspiracy theories but allow advertising of a corporation who lying about free tax assistance and has an monopoly on how we are supposed to do our taxes..... get B corporations, owned by those who work for the organization, not green washing, and are not lying and in bed corruption. They should be held countable for their minipulations.

    You know better so do better!

  • Conspiracy theories of everything

    Walker has a very specific political view that taints his writing so far as to make me want to avoid listening. Don’t get sucked in.

  • The mispronounciations will drive you mad!

    It was an interesting show, but the host’s insistence on pronouncing “the” before a consonant as “thee” drove me utterly mad. You don’t pronounce “the” as THEE for emphasis; and even if that is your excuse, WHY ARE YOU EMPHASIZING EVERY OTHER WORD?? You see? He’s driven me MAD! I JUST CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE!!
