  • Corruption of the American Republic

    The show that hosts Russian fascist Dugin during Russian fascist invasion of Ukraine is complicit in normalizing anti-Western ideology. The word “fascism” is overused but Dugin is truly a Russian fascist ideologue who stands against everything dear to the American Republic—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of thought. Corruption of the American Republic via corrosive Russian influence

  • Hosts talk too much

    Wow, the host/hosts won’t stop talking. They ramble for ages. Talking nonsense and forgetting they have guests.... also the same talking points over and over about men failing, liberalism, Marxism etc.

  • Woke Right

    God bless you but you are in a cult my man. “They” did not shoot Trump in the head. A troubled young man who should not have access to an assault rifle shot at him and grazed his ear. If Trump as you said “bodied” Hilary Clinton then by your measure Joe Biden “bodied” Trump. And no it’s not OK to say HH and Cooper adds nothing insightful and yes America’s entry into WWII to oppose Hitler was heroic.

    While the community is still reeling from 2 back to back terror attacks on Jews by far-leftists, Boyce chooses to bring on a no name “Rabbi” to discredit Zionism. Because that’s really the problem. I will seek intellectually honest conversations elsewhere.
