    kirk said: if there has to be some gun deaths to be able to freely have guns so be it. his death was ironic to his own statement.

    kirk said: don’t have empathy.

    That is an idiot thing to advise to people. animals feel concern and kirk wants us/humans to be emotionless robots

    This is the best podcast ever. I’ve been listening to Jared & Nick for years. If you want to understand the truth & history of what is going on today, this is the podcast for you. I look forward to every episode, knowing it helps me be informed and understand the implications behind the surface level reporting that never seems to give all the facts.

  • Stop asking each other questions you already know the answer to!

    Love the pod, but is super distracting when you cleverly ask each other questions seeking a specific answer. Just say what you want to say as a statement.

  • A most amazing podcast!!

    Great info and perspective. The back and forth dialogue between hosts Jared and Nick keeps the discussion fluid and interesting. Keep up the great work.

    ***any chance you’ll bring Richard Wolff on for a discussion on the failure of capitalism and the fall and future of America?***
