  • Israel support, left vs right

    You pretend that support for Israel is left vs right, but you are being idiotic and ignorant.

    It’s not left versus right, it’s older versus younger generations.

    Older generations still hold guilt for the holocaust but the younger generations are further removed from WWII and tired of all the propaganda.

    It’s not that older generations are more gullible, just that the different generations are more susceptible to different propaganda.

    The most hardcore Israeli supporters that I know are a... more

  • Low quality

    These guys get a lot of facts wrong. If you want to learn avoid it; if you want to listen to a couple of guys talking, you can find a lot of better shows

  • Anti Luigi slander

    I liked the show until they started talking badly about Luigi mangione. Just bc you guys “don’t want to live in that kind of society” doesn’t mean we don’t already. Healthcare CEOs make millions and millions while American citizens die and suffer. There has never been ANY political change without violence. Do you think if we ask the CEOs nicely to get their boots off our necks they’ll do it? Be realistic.

  • You complain about deranged people

    Look in the mirror and you’ll see a great example of a deranged person.

    This is supposed to be a podcast about history, not your deranged drama.

  • Very entertaining and occasionally educational!

    Bro history provides me with a lot of entertainment. These guys have a really funny dialogue between themselves that makes me feel like we’re just chatting global history with your really smart friend in their garage sinking Beers.

    I feel like they have a really well balanced and down to earth perspective, but at the same time, you can tell that they actually do their research. They also cover a wide variety of topics and different time periods which I really like as it means that they’re just... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump's 20-point plan for peace in Gaza
Q: What do you think about the feasibility of the proposed 20-point peace plan?
The hosts are skeptical about the plan's practicality and believe that while certain elements may sound reasonable, the specifics and willingness of both parties make it unlikely to succeed.
Iraq war corruption stories
Q: Can you elaborate on how you view the future of U.S.-Iran relations given the current political climate?
There's a heightened chance of conflict as political ambitions clash with the reality on the ground, particularly regarding hostages and military options against Iran.
Iraq war corruption stories
Q: What are your views on the current state of diplomacy versus the military approach in foreign policy?
The importance of diplomacy should not be understated, especially when military options often overshadow diplomatic resolutions, leading to conflict where dialogue could suffice.
Iraq war corruption stories
Q: What would go into one of the weekly reports you were responsible for when you were with the State Department?
These reports included metrics like oil outputs, casualty counts, IED attacks, and snapshots of political status updates, all designed to illustrate progress, often under a misleading narrative.
Israel Palestine - What's Happening to Gaza?
Q: What would you advise the Israeli government if they called you for recommendations?
I would suggest that they look at the underlying causes of violent resistance, which are tied to foreign occupation and grievances of the Palestinian people.
