  • Filled with anti-Israel hatred

    Came along this podcast because it’s one of few to discuss the Guatemalan genocide. Although the actual discussion of this topic by the guest speaker was excellent, the host is almost obsessed with anti-Israel hatred and keeps bringing this up again and again throughout the episode. She keeps repeating anti-Semitic lies and downplays any violence committed against Israel. It unfortunately makes it impossible to stick to the original podcast story. An absolute shame.

  • Host is totally unaware of the millions of disabilities cause by the Covid injections, which are not really vaccines; many disabilities are permanent. Nor is she aware of the hundreds of thousands of deaths world- wide caused by these injections, and these are climbing as well. I don't understand how she could be so ignorant of these things.

  • Great show

    This is a great show and not just because of the guests. Margaret does a great job of synopsizing the news of the week and pointing out so much that the MSM is ignoring.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Legal Basis For And US Violations Of Our Right To Health Care
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how the US compares even to other wealthy nations in terms of health care?
The U.S. health care spending is very high, but much of it is misallocated towards private profits instead of equitable access to health care services.
The Legal Basis For And US Violations Of Our Right To Health Care
Q: What were some of the points of the report?
We talked about recommendations for a system of public health care with universal access, guaranteeing rights to life and health, and the need for equitable treatment for immigrants.
The Legal Basis For And US Violations Of Our Right To Health Care
Q: Can you comment on the human right to health care?
Yes, of course we do. But that's one of our big issues is that for a long time, and even now, there are many leaders in the United States who don't, they say that there's no right to health care or health, or they by their actions negate the right.
The AI Race: How The Surge In Data Centers Harms Us
Q: What should people consider about the future of AI?
It's important to question the hype surrounding AI and consider its implications on economic stability and access to essential resources.
The AI Race: How The Surge In Data Centers Harms Us
Q: How are the artificial intelligence and data centers impacting people?
There are some immediate job losses, particularly among youth. AI is starting to program itself, leading to a jobless future without local political action to demand basic income.
