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.
The legacy of Michael Brooks is alive, and we’re all better off for this show existing.
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.
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.
Awesome episode!!!

The show centers on building a working-class left with practical policy analysis, media critique, and grassroots organizing. Episodes balance international angles with domestic policy, often featuring guests who provide on-the-ground perspectives from labor, immigration, public health, and anti-war activism. A standout is its mix of rigorous debate, cultural critique, and a willingness to challenge mainstream narratives, paired with a collaborative banter between two co-hosts rooted in long-form political analysis. Listeners can expect thoughtful takes on policy, labor issues, and the intersection of culture and politics, delivered with accessible humor and a clear emphasis on activism and organizing.
