  • Tommy Salmons is aggressively pro government and pro Trump. Every time he speaks of Trump they act like he is a benevolent pure soul that is playing 4D chess and loves too much. I certainly don't think Trump is the monster the left does but I also don't believe that he's a once in a lifetime panacea that this podcast thinks he is. The host should spend more time reading and less time drinking the Koolaid.

    Kyle Anzalone and Scott Horton are awesome.

    Were there Russian soldiers and military personnel in Ukraine after the conflict started in 2014?

    Did they provide support for the Ukrainian rebels?

    Of course Russia did and you are promoting a double standard.

    Both sides are being reckless however you are spouting nonsense that it is just one side that is being stupid.

    Anti-war does not mean taking a side. It is closer to meaning not taking a side in a conflict than picking a side and vilifying the other side.

    You are guilty of what you... more

  • Thought provoking

    While I instinctively disagree with a majority of what Bill presents, I respect his knowledge, experience, and application of context to the situation at hand.

    I find his honest assessment and presentation of facts a powerful tool to challenge and test my own judgements.

    The fact that I do not detect a political bias is just an added bonus.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

3/12/26 Shaiel Ben-Ephraim: A Look Inside Israel During the War with Iran
Q: What do you think Americans are missing from their perspective about the war now?
He argues that Israeli goals are misrepresented in the news, that there is a coalition disagreement within Israeli leadership on strategy, and that the broader regional implications include destabilizing nearby states to enable ongoing conflict and control.
3/12/26 Shaiel Ben-Ephraim: A Look Inside Israel During the War with Iran
Q: So can you please tell us, sir, where are you from? What is your deal?
He explains he is Israeli, born and raised in Israel, with military and government service experience, and that he has built a robust network within Israeli defense circles, which informs his critical, anti-war analysis.
The Kyle Anzalone Show [GUEST] Harrison Berger: Will Trump Draft Americans for Israel’s War in Iran? Did Iran Try To Kill Trump?
Q: How does the discussion characterize the role of U.S. and Israeli actors in this narrative?
The hosts and guest suggest that Israeli influence and U.S. foreign policy interests have pushed a hawkish narrative, with media amplification aiding war rhetoric rather than a clear, evidence-based justification.
The Kyle Anzalone Show [GUEST] Harrison Berger: Will Trump Draft Americans for Israel’s War in Iran? Did Iran Try To Kill Trump?
Q: What is the core claim about the Iran plot and its connection to Iran?
The guest argues that there is no solid evidence tying Iran to the plot; the case seems orchestrated or exaggerated by U.S. authorities, using the FBI and state secrets privilege to suppress contrary information.
3/5/26 Robert Pape on the Limits of Air Power
Q: So my question to you is what's your problem if you think that there's anything that they cannot do with these ultra-sophisticated airplanes that they have and cruise missiles that they fire?
Air power can be tactically impressive, but it does not automatically translate into strategic success; political objectives, leadership, and ground operations matter immensely, and overreliance on air power can mislead leaders about what is possible or sustainable in a war.
