I did not believe maybe 5% of what that RJ character had to say. He sounds narcissistic wannabe tough guy. He works with the feds for sure and he brags just to brag. Dude is a joke.
So the people being prosecuted by Trumps team are actually guilty of crimes. A few were being investigated during Biden’s admin. Trump is the one they all went after, weaponized the justice system and the liberal media to lie on, attempt to jail all to keep him out of office. You should be asking why?

All you need to do it look or keep looking like manipulated sheeple.... more
Decent content every once in a while, but the host is a douche and the commercials are constant now. Just mid-sentence, boom, commercial. And guess what, no one listens to the commercials, we just fast forward right through them. So if you are an advertiser, don’t waste your money. We will never hear your sales pitch.
Very interesting show, however the host is not well informed. He confuses ghb the date rape drug with hgh the work out drug. Lastly Riley strains name is an important detail because it is a very high profile case possibly linked to the SFK murder cases

During the time like I said, where quick access to any and all information is just typing away. Kinda thing, you know! I thought it was ... more
