  • Interesting…but Unbalanced

    Guests/references are by far from the Left, such as recent speaker Craig Unger. Credibility is built on facts and consistently being UN-biased… need sources who are apolitical. Enjoy the topics, but question the sources.

  • Far Left

    JJ....when is the news story on the far left. See you have another one on the Far Right. Still waiting to see one on the people actually bringing terror to the streets. Maybe that does not align with your “unbiased” news.

  • Deep state propaganda mouthpiece

    You say your show is apolitical but all you do is invite total political hacks on your show.

  • Veered into Opinion

    Best comment in the Dr. Fauci episode is where JJ stated his podcast stays out of the political theater/commentary. But yet there are multiple instances of opinion based comments being said by JJ and guests that are clearly including opinions and not 100% facts in their commentary.

507 | Ukraine’s War, Ukraine’s Problem: The Fight Within the Fight
Q: Why are so many of Ukraine's top officials resigning?
They are caught up in corruption scandals that are threatening public trust.
506 | When the War Follows You Home: The DC National Guard Attack Explained
Q: Do you think that it was not those issues, but radicalization by a terror group that forced him or pushed him to do this?
It is dangerous to dismiss the terrorism angle, as every terrorist typically has deep psychological problems.
506 | When the War Follows You Home: The DC National Guard Attack Explained
Q: Could you give me your assessment of what happened in Washington on the day before Thanksgiving?
The incident reflects weaknesses in security systems established after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, raising concerns about the possibility of radicalization among Afghan ex-pats in the US.
502 | Alternate Reality: How The Government of Belarus Built its Own Parallel Truth
Q: What is your advice to Americans that are seeing things that they are concerned about take place in the US that may be similar to that experience in Belarus?
