I listen to every episode. Great reporting and guests. Suggest that Greg use the full “Deep State Radio” name rather than DSR network. It’s too close to the democratic socialist acronym DSA which is increasingly in the news. Avoid conflating these two, please.

Love the podcast which helps to keep me grounded. Only complaint is editing on June 26 show. Many abrupt cuts and repeated lines.

So, Greg has fallen into the trap, right? He’s now asking “right”in the middle of every sentence, right? This is what podcasters do, right?

Of course DJT doesn’t care about midterms.
Remember when he told his followers they would never have to vote again, it would be all fixed.
Well, there you go.
