Reviews

3.9 out of 5 stars from 8.8k ratings
  • Too frequent ads just inserted in the middle of commentary. I cancelled my membership after 10 years because, even though I agree with the opinions, recently the show is just 2 hours of the exact same Israel rants, day after day, with very little actual news. I come back every 2 to 3 months and listen to an episode to see if it changed yet, and it hasn't. The entire 2:45:00 episode is 95% Israeli rant, regardless of the story title, and 5% right-wing influencer gossip. This is not news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside Trump-a-Palooza - September 11, 2026
Q: What was Tara Palmeri doing at the Republican convention, and what happened with the Epstein survivors?
Tara Palmeri was covering the event as press and interviewing a congressional candidate; she and the Epstein survivors were escorted out by security after a 35-minute presence, which led to discussions about safety and media access at such events.
Pentagon Pressure Test - August 31, 2026
Q: What motivates you to run in New Hampshire against an established candidate?
Manzoor explains a grassroots, volunteer-driven campaign focused on Medicare for All, reversing corporate influence in politics, and delivering working-class priorities in New Hampshire; she emphasizes integrity and accountability over donor-driven agendas.
New Greene Party - August 3, 2026
Q: What is the likelihood of a negotiated settlement with Iran given the current signals from both sides?
Experts suggest that while Iran has signaled openness to talks, they want concrete terms that limit escalatory dynamics and ensure open pipelines; the U.S. position involves weighing strategic deterrence, regional stability, and alliance politics, making a straightforward deal contingent on credible commitments and a shift in U.S. posture.
Special Episode: Cenk Uygur at Oxford Speaks
Q: What about forming alliances with conservatives who share anti-war stances, and how do you address criticisms from the left about tainting the pro-Palestine cause?
Empirically, some conservatives have moved to anti-war positions and can help end genocide; we should work with any ally who opposes war, while continuing to challenge them on other issues where needed.
Special Episode: Cenk Uygur at Oxford Speaks
Q: Are you planning to challenge the UK ban legally, and what does that imply for free speech rights more broadly?
Yes, I will challenge the ban; the trial would be about whether the UK is free, not just about me, highlighting whether a democracy can tolerate suppression of controversial voices.
