  • Unfollowing this Lincoln project podcast

    Jonah said Trump is to blame for the assassination attempt on his life. Let that sink in. Except for Sarah, these guys hate Trump more than they love America. You'll hear them put down Republicans/conservatives far more than you'll hear them ever saying anything bad about a leftist. Listen to them contort themselves to stick up for the Hunter Biden laptop debacle by the media. Jonah even admitted that the Trump trial was a farce, but stated Trump had it coming, so it's OK. How un-American.

  • Lib on the left leaning towards the middle

Although I always liked compromise and never thought extreme views on either side were constructive, I felt the middle ground was somehow skewed and polarizi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deporting People We Don’t Like
Q: Would you feel exactly the same way you feel, or would it change a little if he had been here on a student visa?
It would change a little in the strength of his own First Amendment assertion.
Deporting People We Don’t Like
Q: What would it look like if they were to succeed in making the argument for deportation?
It would look a lot more like material support for terrorism, rather than mere speech.
Is Liberalism a Luxury Jews Can't Afford? | Interview: Jonathan Greenblatt
Q: How should we approach the debate on anti-Zionism versus anti-Semitism?
There should be no debate; anti-Zionism is rooted in anti-Semitism and needs to be recognized as such.
Is Liberalism a Luxury Jews Can't Afford? | Interview: Jonathan Greenblatt
Q: What do you think the Jewish community should be prioritizing now?
We need to prioritize protecting the Jewish people in light of the surge in anti-Semitism and seek out new allies.
