  • Great program

    One critique: the judge and his guests often frame our foreign policy failures as the product of incompetence or stupidity. I think that gives the decision-makers too much credit.

    Many of these choices look irrational only if you assume the goal is protecting America’s interests. If the goal however is individual power, profit, self-preservation, etc—they start to make a lot more sense.

  • Lefty Soldier

    I have heard the judge speak on TV, and thought highly of his professional opinion. Now that he has his own mic, he is clearly biased, reporting favorably to one side, while completely ignoring the accomplishments of the other. He’s just another huge cheerleader for his Lefty cult.

    I want honest opinion and criticism, regardless of what side any person or issue is on, but that’s not what you’re going to get from Judge Nap.

    Unfortunately, he was bitten very hard, and now suffers from severe TDS... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scott Ritter : LIVE @2PM - Russia Winning Decisively
Q: What is the guest's view on Western support for Ukraine and its impact on global power dynamics?
The guest contends Western support is driving Ukraine toward collapse and is part of a broader strategic contest to control resources and influence global order.
Scott Ritter : LIVE @2PM - Russia Winning Decisively
Q: Why does the guest believe Russia can be more aggressive now than in the past?
Because Russia has fixed many of its military and defense weaknesses, has a hardened military, and perceives NATO as weakened, giving Russia confidence to escalate.
Scott Ritter : LIVE @2PM - Russia Winning Decisively
Q: What is the perceived long-term consequence of the NDA-like arrangements involving Israel and the U.S. defense complex?
The guest argues it would allow Israel to infiltrate and dominate American defense research and development, effectively eroding U.S. sovereignty and creating a joint military framework.
Prof. Mohammad Marandi : LIVE from Tehran, Iran - 8AM
Q: What is the effect if any of Trump's verbal bluster and threats on the Iranian leadership?
The guest argues that Trump's rhetoric has a negative effect by eroding trust in the United States, hardening Iranian resolve, and distracting from substantive policy. The Iranians focus on ground realities and the U.S. approach is seen as inconsistent and counterproductive, reducing willingness to engage while increasing domestic support for resistance against pressure.
INTEL Roundtable w/ Johnson, McGovern, and Joe Kent - Weekly Wrap 24-July
Q: Joe, to you first, how unwise would it be for President Trump to order a ground assault?
It would be incredibly unwise; boots on the ground would be disastrous and could lead to a broader, long-term quagmire, so it's crucial to avoid that path.
