tough listen. gave it a try but is terrible.
I’ve changed my review.
John refusing to change his stance on Gaza, despite it jeopardising his pardon, sealed the deal. You’ve got a new listener. Ted is funny and I could listen to John talk all day.
I randomly found this podcast while scrolling and wow, the importance of the information here cannot be denied. As a woman not within the political sphere and who, frankly, feels uninformed at times, these episodes keep me up to date on world events in a concise, easy to chew format. Y’all have earned yourself a listener!
John and Ted together are great. Love the show
Thank you John for your decades of service to our countries national security, and for having the courage to stand up to the American government and torture, even if they didn’t leave you with much choice.
