  • Great Pod by a great journalist

    Brian Karem is a true old school journalist, we don’t have many left and u fortunately there are few if any young journalists with true integrity in the pipeline. I will always support independent journalists who fearlessly speak truth to power the way Brian does.

  • Impossible to take Brian seriously

    Brian is a regular on Stuttering John’s podcast. A man who wrote in his book about he assaulted young girls on the beach with his buddies, who recently tried to use his fame to have sex with a vulnerable young girl who had drug problems (he also offered he drugs), a man who routinely uses homophobic, anti-trans and racist slurs on his podcast, and who abuses very woman who rejects his creepy advances. Brian says nothing because Brian is a coward.

  • No one cares about the press briefings

    The constant griping about the press briefings in the Biden White House has gotten really old and reminiscent of sportscasters who complain about the location of their free seats instead of giving us the score. If you FF past that, you’ll find an excellent show with first rate political analysis.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Just Ask the Press - From Espionage to AI: The New Age of Political Warfare
Q: Why do you think the Espionage Act is being debated again now?
The panel argues the act is outdated and poorly named, and there's bipartisan interest in reform to better protect whistleblowers and journalists while resolving overclassification and governmental secrecy.
Mary Trump - The Delusional Leadership of Donald Trump
Q: If Donald Trump was sitting across from you right now, what's the one thing you would want to ask him or say to him?
I would say to him, I'm so sorry, nobody ever loved you, and that's why we are here.
Mary Trump - The Delusional Leadership of Donald Trump
Q: What do you recommend that people do to stay connected and sane during these trying times?
Connect with other people, get out in nature, and prioritize community as it helps us cope with dark times.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel Ali Omur - Why Does Trump Want Greenland!?
Q: So what would be your, if parting words to the American public, what would you tell them that they need to know about Denmark and Greenland?
The Danes have always been our friends, and the Inuit people have just wanted to be treated right, and they've just wanted to lead themselves.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel Ali Omur - Why Does Trump Want Greenland!?
Q: What are you afraid of that could happen in Greenland?
My fears pretty closely mirror yours, that we're going to keep pushing this to the point that Denmark in one shape or another tries to accommodate us, because they don't have a lot of options.
