  • Recently disappointing

    I used to love this show. Since I read his autobiography I am having a hard time respecting his opinions. Glenn has the ability to, in hindsight sight, admit when he has behaved immoral and hurtful and also has talked about his swing in political opinions and affiliations. I find that admirable. Unfortunately it has not taught him anything. Glenn is extremely pig headed and obnoxious about his current political opinions (I don’t know about his personal relationships). He seems to forget how ofte... more

  • Poor Glenn, poor John..

    Used to love this show. Now it’s unlistenable. Hilarious how some reviewers accuse John of TDS instead of Glenn. John is like a nephew remaining as respectful as possible as his old uncle’s brain disintegrates.

  • Disappointed in Glenn

    I used to listen to Glenn all the time but when he started believing Peter Beinart, a self loathing Jew, I can’t listen anymore. “From the river to the sea” means eliminating Israel. They do not want a two state solution, they want no Israel. Ask Alan Dershowitz or John Podhoretz to be on the show to get the other side. Israel and US are sending in 3,000 calories a day for all. Did we do that for Germany in WWII? The photos of starvation are faked. The world gave Gaza $15 billion since the... more
