  • Today’s Show. - Friday 04/24/26

    Enjoyed todays’ show. You mentioned a USAID former employee who claimed she had 60 interviews, since July 2025.

    I owned an Elite Gymnastics Gym which was located in a business park. During Trumps first Term, we didn’t go a week without a walk-in asking to fill out employment applications. Most, had no gymnastics experience and no idea what the job entailed. I had my front desk staff ask them why they were coming into a business at which they had no clue as to what the job involved?

  • Blaming The Left Is Convenient

    From start to finish it’s a grievance fest about how the left is crazy and evil with no mention of how crazy the current right wing is. Not balanced or nuanced but full of complaints. BOOOO!!!!

  • Lefties can’t handle it

    Been listening for several years and is always spot on in his assessments of the political landscape. Isn’t afflicted with any ego issues like some other podcasters and hasn’t wavered in his beliefs over the years. All the lefty reviewers are hilarious and that means Derek is correct in everything he says.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

California Democrats Sure Can Pick 'em
Q: By the way, this is a profile piece. This is not a gotcha piece, right?
Yes, it's a profile piece intended to cover the candidate's background and proposed actions rather than expose faults in a high-pressure interview.
California Democrats Sure Can Pick 'em
Q: Well, look, I think these questions are fair. It's in order to learn about you as a candidate.
The host frames the interview as a profile, aiming to cover background, accomplishments, and policy positions while allowing some tougher questions.
Why Democrats Are Worried About Their Base
Q: What about the idea of photo ID being required to vote?
There should be a compromise where Democrats and Republicans put forward photo ID as a requirement for voting.
Veterans of Pearl Harbor and Patton's Army on Veteran's Day
Q: What can we learn from your book to better reach these men?
By telling them the truth. Young people today must understand war is awful and provide emotional and psychiatric services to returning veterans.
Veterans of Pearl Harbor and Patton's Army on Veteran's Day
Q: Can you describe the feeling that you had when Victory finally comes?
I was happy that the war is over, but felt sorry for the people who had been led astray, and was glad that their leaders would never be able to do anything like this again.
