  • Manhood Crisis

    I’m surprised that with the current state of our nation Oren would choose to host a podcast on the “manhood crisis”! What is he saying?

  • Oren’s a RINO

    The only positive aspect of this podcast is that Oren’s voice is so soft you can barely hear the Bolshevik garbage he spews.
