  • Self-indulgent pseudoscience

    No conspiracy theory is too banal to be repackaged as a revolutionary idea by this rambling pair. They should leave the house more!

  • Brett’s War

    And Heather’s war too. Both naively campaigned for Trump. You foolishly believed in Vance and Hesgeth and Tulsi. Unfortunately while Biden was strong enough to stand up to Netanyahu to keep us out of war with Iran, Donald Trump is too weak to stand up to Netanyahu.

  • Love this podcast!

    This is one of my favorite podcasts. I don’t agree with everything they say, but then, who ever is in complete agreement with another person? Love their different perspectives and the way they talk to their audience like we’re as educated as they are. Love it!

  • Rambling nonsense

    I listened several times, one in particular all I discovered was they drink coffee. Other than that, it was rambling nonsense. And heather needs to stop saying, ‘and the’…It’s unreal how much she says that.

    Just give us facts and not opinions on what you think. We have enough of that with RFK Jr.

Unholy War: A Conversation with Tucker Carlson on DarkHorse
Q: What is your read on Netanyahu's leadership and its impact on U.S. policy?
Netanyahu is a highly capable, strategic leader whose actions influence U.S. foreign policy; his leadership style and regional ambitions shape how allies and adversaries respond, sometimes strengthening cooperation but often escalating tensions and complicating peaceful diplomacy.
Unholy War: A Conversation with Tucker Carlson on DarkHorse
Q: What do you see as the core threat to the West's ability to sustain its democratic institutions?
The threat comes from a combination of escalating tribalism, the co-option of political power by a few, and the deliberate erosion of checks and balances, which is being accelerated by a global narrative that pits groups against each other and discourages open, nuanced discussion.
