  • 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.

AMB. Chas Freeman : Israel is Now an American Problem
Q: How has Israel become America's problem?
Ambassador Freeman challenges conventional narratives, explaining that the dynamic involves complex regional power plays, internal Israeli politics, and external pressures that frame the U.S. role in a way that can exacerbate tensions and lead to unilateral actions with global repercussions.
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Should Trump Be President?
Q: What is the risk or limit of US sanctions in this context?
Sanctions often invite retaliation and bypasses by other countries, such as using non-dollar clearing systems or alternative financial networks, which can undermine the intended leverage and create broader economic disruptions.
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Should Trump Be President?
Q: Tell us how secondary sanctions work.
Secondary sanctions aim to cut foreign banks off from the U.S. dollar clearing system if they engage with targeted economies, pressuring global actors to comply with U.S. policy by threatening access to the dollar and interbank networks.
Max Blumenthal : Can the Pentagon Count its Missiles?
Q: Has Israel manipulated Donald Trump yet again? What is the backstory?
The guest explains a pattern of alleged Israeli influence over U.S. policy and leadership decisions, suggesting that intelligence and political narratives were shaped to pursue escalation and keep involvement in regional conflicts, with implications for how the administration viewed threats.
Prof. Glenn Diesen : NATO Taunting Putin
Q: How should we read President Putin's statements about NATO and Ukraine?
The host/guest discuss that Putin's rhetoric reflects a perception of NATO expansion and escalation, arguing that Russia feels compelled to respond to a perceived existential threat rather than concede to Western pressures.
