  • Love the show…..real unafraid journalism (for now)

    Thank you so much for covering the well hidden documentary “Critical Incident” Jacob, you are the first on any corporate media to even mention it…..such an important film. I wish it would be released onto YouTube so more could see it before HBO puts the kibosh on. The only place that has mentioned the documentary is independent media. Hearing that on your show, I knew we were going to hear real journalism. Please keep it up. Thank you.

Q: What can you tell us about the timing and release of Critical Incident?
