  • Well-Researched Conversations With Real-World Relevance

    I find Dan Crenshaw’s podcast both informative and engaging. He brings on a wide range of interesting guests—including policymakers, subject-matter experts, and thought leaders—and I learn something new from nearly every episode. I also appreciate the SITREPs, which provide clear, straightforward updates on current events and important policy developments. Overall, the podcast does a good job of breaking down complex issues and helping listeners stay informed without unnecessary noise.

  • The demeanor of a child

    God forbid someone criticize a public official. Crenshaw is softer than diarrhea when it comes to people criticizing him. Be worthy of the office you hold, Congressman; the public perception when you threaten to sue over someone’s harmless comments towards you is that of a whiny child hiding behind his Capitol Hill lawyers. Really lost a lot of respect for this man and fellow veteran.

  • Used to be a solider now a sell out

    I used to have respect for a man who scarified for this country. Now after learning more about this pathetic lying piece of human garbage it would have been better if he was KIA. Then he wouldn’t be able to come back and hurt the American people by being a pretend politician who sues his fellow service members. This really is the lowest of the low. I could never afford Steve Aoki to play for me and if this man had any humility or compassion he would do more to help his fellow veterans and not j... more

  • Sell out

    I have followed this pod cast for years. Despite the negativity towards congressman Crenshaw. Unfortunately the evidence has become overwhelming that he is no longer a man of honor and integrity but rather another self enriching bureaucrat lining his own pockets. It saddens me to see what our government does to people. Especially the ones who were once willing to give everything for this country.

  • Dr. Ge Bai show

    One question that is never answered in these discussions. How much money do illegal aliens cost us in medical costs. They go to the hospital, they don’t pay the bill. The hospital raises costs to all to pay for it. This goes similarly for the big city war fair in the streets. They have a shoot out and in the end they go to trauma centers. They run up millions dollars bills without insurance or paying for it. The taxpayers need to know this.
