I love this podcast because you both are intelligent and bring up great points. But you were off in terms of No Kings. It’s called “No Kings” for a reason. We are against a dictator, as you know.

Two long-running political analysis voices dig into current events with a historical lens, often critiquing power structures, money in politics, and media narratives. Episodes hover around U.S. domestic politics, geopolitics, and insurgent movements, blending rigorous context with pointed skepticism. A notable pattern is their willingness to challenge mainstream coverage, discuss ethics and accountability, and push for independent funding channels like patron support. The show tends to attract listeners who want deeper explanations beyond headlines and who value explicit, historical framing over partisan soundbites.
