  • Pretty Okay

    1. You need more guests. You cycle though the same people. Get out of your cave and meet some new people. I can listen to all these people and then some over on Glenn Diesen without the adverts or the long intro. Why not interview Glenn Diesen? Tucker Carlson? Candace Owen’s? Someone new?

    2.Stop calling yourself judge. Stop calling that girl lt col. Seriously. Neither one of you do that job anymore.

    3. Good show.

    4. Too many adverts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gilbert Doctorow : Are There Still Communists in Russia?
Q: Let me ask you, is there still a Communist Party in Russia, and how does it differ from the traditional Soviet concept?
The party exists under the name Communist Party, but it functions more as a social democratic party that is law-abiding and constitutionalist, retaining its old leadership while changing its platform and appeal to younger voters.
Gilbert Doctorow : Are There Still Communists in Russia?
Q: Big picture, your general impression of the Duma and local elections in Russia during the past week.
The Duma remains dominated by United Russia due to procedural advantages and electoral structures, while other parties have limited actual seats relative to their vote shares; there is a recognized manipulation of outcomes and a war-time context that affects voter turnout and perception.
Larry Johnson : US Fuel Costs About to Get Worse
Q: How bad will the price of gasoline be in the next few months?
Johnson explains that the global diesel shortage, Persian Gulf supply constraints, and logistical factors like the Jones Act point to continued higher prices and a depressed economic activity for several months, with little near-term relief.
Aaron Mate : Is Ukraine the US’s Proxy or Partner?
Q: Is Ukraine America's proxy or America's partner in the war against Russia?
Aaron Mate argues that Ukraine has become a proxy for US strategic aims, pointing to CIA involvement, bases in Ukraine, and manipulation of Ukrainian leadership, while suggesting that Western media underplays the extent of foreign influence and the human costs of the war.
COL. Lawrence Wilkerson : Could Israel and Saudi Arabia Disappear?
Q: Colonel Wilkerson, what is the real strategic significance of the UN rhetoric surrounding Iran and Israel right now?
Wilkerson explains that current statements and posturing reflect a broader collapse in institutional legitimacy and suggest a shift toward a more unpredictable regional balance of power, with Iran potentially rising as a hegemon unless substantial diplomacy and institutional resilience are restored.
