    I am really enjoying these episodes. The array of topics is unique. Moynihan is incredibly knowledgeable in his own right, and he is a natural interviewer. Thank you!

    How asinine was the worm Robby Soave ‘s comment that he appreciated Trump’s foreign policy and that European leaders did not take Biden because he didn’t know what was going on. How then dope was Biden able to pull together the European coalition in support of UKraine. Why were Biden’s policies so much wiser than Trump’s? Please spare us dopes like Robby.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Epstein 101 with Arick Fudali | The Moynihan Report
Q: What happens after that is where I think things get murky, and that people have five-year-olds and six-year-olds in these videos. Did anything like that happen?
I suspect that there were still underage girls, and I know for a fact that he continued to abuse during that time period. Frankly, I think he was empowered by it.
Epstein 101 with Arick Fudali | The Moynihan Report
Q: How the fuck did this guy get so rich?
That's a really great question. We don't know. I don't know. It's unclear how he got it; it's unclear how he got to that level of wealth, whether he ever did or he just kept gaining more and more power and friends.
Epstein 101 with Arick Fudali | The Moynihan Report
Q: When you dump all this stuff out there, it's not stuff that's necessarily in the public interest. What do you, as a lawyer who's been doing this stuff for a long time, think about just the raw data dump?
A lot of it, they do it in that manner, sort of to distract. We call it a document dump. In my line of work, you give hundreds, thousands of million documents, good luck going through it.
Trump at the WEF, defining fascism, Hitler revisionist history, + more | The Moynihan Report
Q: How do you define fascism?
It's difficult because while fascism is authoritarian, there are many forms of authoritarianism that aren't fascistic.

Q: Are we losing historical memory about the war on terror years?
Yes, especially as younger generations seem less informed about these years and are not reading full books.
