  • Current

    Mike is always up to date on the intel he shares. Saturdays podcast was informative however no one brought up the simple fact, universities are GUN FREE ZONES . That being said how do administrators cling to that absurd notion? How is it justified??

  • Meh, you can do better

    Can it be informative? Sure.

    Is the quality of the show good? Sure.

    However. The 10-15 minute afternoon episodes will feature 60-75% ads, the morning episode will be ~40% ads. Not to mention the fact that any time Israel is discussed, Mike makes no effort to keep you from thinking he’s another paid advert for Netanyahu. Hard to believe this guy was in the CIA and not Mossad.
