  • Irritating adverts

    Irritating sudden adverts inserted without pause. Head bending to follow. I absolutely NEVER buy from these nuisance type adverts.

    Sometimes entertaining but superfluous and repetitive information that pads the length of the podcasts. Only advantage is that I can go to the toilet feeling assured that I won’t miss anything since it will be repeated!!!

  • Wrong Steele

    The Dossier, which mentioned the Pee tape was compiled by Christopher Steele British counter intelligence specialist. Not Michael Steele. I have noticed this before and finally looked it up. Why has noone pointed this out?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Epstein Survivor Tells All as Hidden FBI Tapes Surface
Q: What was your takeaway from the meeting with Blanche?
That the meeting felt like a no-win scenario for survivors, characterized by condescension and gaslighting, which underscored the larger problem of how powerful figures handle survivor testimony and the need for real, substantive action rather than performative assurances.
Epstein Survivor Tells All as Hidden FBI Tapes Surface
Q: Why did you want to be in the room and speaking directly to the members of the Senate Confirmation Committee about Todd Blanche?
Because it was crucial for survivors to tell their authentic stories directly to lawmakers and DOJ officials, to emphasize the human impact, demand transparency, and push for accountability and a proper examination of investigative leads.
Trump DOJ Faces Reckoning over Fraud on Court
Q: What is the core legal issue the judge is addressing regarding the settlement and potential fraud on the court?
The core issue is whether the parties privately could or did arrange settlements and immunities in a way that undermines the legitimacy of court proceedings, and whether those actions constitute fraud on the court that could be addressed through Rule 60D3 or other sanctions.
DOJ Exposes Trump’s Russian "Pee Tape" in New Filing
Q: What did Comey say about the briefing on the Steele dossier and the 'salacious' details?
Comey described presenting the material to Trump with the note that it was unverified at the time, focusing on the fact that it existed and what it claimed, rather than asserting it as truth; he also indicated that the intensity of the briefing reflected the seriousness of the allegations.
Blanche Sued Over Ties to Epstein and Judge Cannon
Q: What is it that you want the judge to do with a stroke of a pen?
The speaker argues for a preliminary injunction to compel the DOJ to address issues related to the Epstein files, urging access to improperly redacted names, emails, and related materials to ensure transparency before Blanche's confirmation.
