Ari always shoots straight with objectivity
Podcast Addict515 days agoRuminating_Stoic- Kimmel still cancelled
He may be back but you can bet he is being censored. His show won’t be the same. He will eventually quit because he won’t have artistic freedom ie freedom of speech is on its way out. I’m still going to cancel my Disney subscription. Join us folks.

United States22 days ago - Inconsistencies
I typically like to listen to the podcast version of the ‘show’ but it seems lately not all the daily episodes are being released or the episodes are duplicated. Seems very unprofessional for such a major network.
Apple Podcasts4_Tahti_United Statesa month ago - No more Navarro
I love this show and listen to it regularly but I can't stand listening to Navarro. His so-called expertise is based on poor scholarship, and his publication's footnotes were based on Navarro's own name, scrambled. Trump's preference for people who pledge loyalty to him doesn't mean that they deserve to be invited on reputable shows.
Apple Podcasts411dalyaUnited Statesa month ago - You just don’t get it
You and your friends can’t understand that SCOTUS is the driving force behind Trump. Please take a minute and think. Where would we be if they were following the law, the constitution and legal precedents. Right. Trump would be in jail not the WH. Don’t know who pulls the strings, but it ain’t the true believers of the US. SCOTUS IS NOT GOING TO SAVE US. THEY ARE GOING TO KILL THE AMERICAN DREAM.
