  • Not really that great

    Was expecting some expert style analysis of what is happening around the world as it pertains to national security. What I hear is more hate of an administration and/or his cabinet.

  • Excellent geo-political analysis and information

    I really enjoy the shows analysis and projections. However, the anti-Israel sentiment of Colonel Mike and Dr. Mike is unbearable.

    A lot of factual information- but also a lot of propaganda being pushed with this podcast.

  • Excellent in-depth political analysis and information

    My daughter works in the intelligence field for the military. Part of her job is to follow global open source news. She was impressed with the information that I was aware of. This is a credit to the information and knowledge your hosts, guests, and the other non-mainstream media sources that are available. Keep up the outstanding work!

  • Right wing propagandists

    Dangerous conspiracy theories that misinform the public by blaming an “evil cabal” instead of explaining how corporate interests use donations to influence government to the detriment of the nation’s people.
