  • David HAS LOST ALL CREDIBILITY

    UPDATE:

    I have changed my views on David. I got ticked off with his Biden coverup but he’s very spot on with most things. Great listen in the world of insane nuts like Candace Owens. Good stuff.

    OLD REVIEW:

    Experts (lol) claiming that Trump was the one with severe mental ability losses and ignoring Biden’s by saying Trump was worse was shown to be such a joke in that “debate.”

    David is a pompous guy that thinks he’s much smarter than he is. It shows major bias makes even well educated peop... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The mistakes are adding up quickly
Q: Could the president realistically influence election outcomes through federal actions like the Insurrection Act or a national emergency?
The guest explains that the Insurrection Act is a draconian tool that would place the military in a policing role and is unlikely to achieve the desired political objectives; a broad national emergency to disrupt elections would face severe legal and practical obstacles, and the Constitution assigns elections to the states, with the federal role being limited.
The meltdowns will continue until the morale improves
Q: First question I have is the people you speak to as sources. Are these folks who are motivated to talk to you because they are concerned about what they are seeing?
Haberman and Swan explain they pursue rigorous sourcing with extensive notes and a careful process to protect sources, emphasizing that their reporting is grounded in specific, verifiable conversations and documents, not generic speculation.
A cornered animal can be dangerous
Q: What about the handshake with the French president at the G7—does that support the stroke/dementia theory?
The guest describes the handshake as a possible indicator of weakness and cross-body movement that could reflect shoulder and rotator cuff involvement after a stroke, suggesting observed movements reveal underlying deficits.
A cornered animal can be dangerous
Q: Many in the audience were shocked by the prediction about Trump's health; why do you think your prediction was wrong?
The guest explains the timeframe was based on life expectancy with frontotemporal dementia and notes Trump has access to top-tier health care and potential stroke history; he now believes the prediction didn't come true due to medical interventions and schedule management that may mask symptoms.
They’re getting caught doing the exact same thing
Q: What are the main differences between the Obama JCPOA and the proposed Trump framework as described in the discussion?
The guests and host emphasize that the Trump framework is largely framed around a memorandum of understanding and broad outlines, lacking specific, verifiable commitments such as detailed inspections and explicit limitations on ballistic missiles, which contrasts with the more concrete (though debated) elements of the Obama JCPOA; the overall takeaway is that without a signed, transparent text, it's premature to claim a definitive victory or progress.
