  • The stupidity episode

    I love the guest speaker who was talking about stupidity and was using San Francisco’s liberal Woke policies as an example of stupidity. I’m surprised the host didn’t come right out of his seat because it must’ve hit him where he lives. He was practically arguing with the guest trying to defend letting criminals go without punishment.

  • Long time listener

    Great Podcast.. I tell everyone about this show! However it's sad to see how narrow minded some of his guests are on conspiracy theories .. Books don't lie, if they did they would be sued for slander.. Plenty of Books have been published on JFK/RFK/ MLK & 9-11..Dissent is an intellectual pursuit.
