  • Thank you John!

    The damage report is really the only TYT show I can listen to anymore. Chenk & Ana have gone off the rails & would much rather chase clout with right wing influencers nowadays.

  • Late release time

    I really enjoy the show. I just find the pod to be released too late into the evening for me. I don’t see the point in catching up the next day on day old opinionated news. It’s a fun show though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Todd Blanche Is A [REDACTED]
Q: What is your take on the current handling of the Epstein documents?
The host-and-guest discussion portrays the redactions as insufficiently transparent and argues that the public deserves full disclosure, with criticism aimed at Blanche for defense of limited releases.
Lose The War, Spin The Battle
Q: What do you make of the status of the Iran war and the claiming of a near-end to hostilities?
The discussion emphasizes that while officials and public figures claim progress toward an open Strait and a peace deal, there is substantial uncertainty and competing narratives about whether any ceasefire or open passage is truly in place, making the 'end' of the war hard to verify.
The Name’s Mullin, Markwayne Mullin
Q: This is your first chance on our program to weigh in on this war. What are you making of all you're seeing?
Turner emphasizes the need for careful scrutiny of military options, critiques the rush to boots-on-the-ground, and urges accountability from leadership while highlighting the human costs and geopolitical consequences.
Facts Don’t Care About Your Failings
Q: What is the strategy here?
Sharon expresses confusion over Trump's strategy, questioning the rationale behind delivering unconvincing lies.
Facts Don’t Care About Your Failings
Q: What do you think of what you saw last night?
Sharon believes the speech had no effective strategy, as it failed to address the real issues facing Americans, which might lead to more frustration among voters.
