  • Disgusting

    The response to Mr. Kirk’s assassination is sickening. His parent’s political leanings do not matter. He wrote Antifa slogans on the bullets. His live in boyfriend was a tranny. Being an “academic” does not an intelligent person make. That’s if I’m being charitable. If it isn’t stupidity, then it’s deception. To what end…? Your callous, dishonest, reaction has done more to radicalize me than any voice on the supposed right possibly could.

    I’ve been a listener for years and a premium subscriber for a little over a year. Worth it. Dan and Brad rule, are funny, intelligent, and caring empathetic people. If you care about lurching religious authoritarianism and fascism, get educated by these guys.
