  • Hamas idiots

    These guys are literally just telling us and believing everything that Hamas tells them without hesitation. No investigation, just believing everything a terrorist group tells them. You have to really hate Jews to support actual terrorists.

  • Clear perspective

    Recently found this show. Learning a lot so far. I think YouTube is its main platform and some clips may work better there. But I like podcasts and this show is still a great listen.

  • Still suckered by far right entryist Alex Hochuli

    A great show but massively let down by having on Claire Fox cult member Alex Hochuli.

    Honestly just look at the guy’s LittleSis profile. A long and deep history of right wing libertarian activism. It’s astounding the US left are still getting suckered by this guy.
