Reviews

3.9 out of 5 stars from 9.1k 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.

Trump's Global Meltdown - July 8, 2026
Q: What does your latest Substack piece say about the two states interpreting the MOU differently and how that drives kinetic warfare?
Parsi explains that deliberate ambiguities in the MOU were included to help finalize the agreement, but those ambiguities led to divergent interpretations about who controls transit through the Strait of Hormuz and how coordination should work, fueling renewed hostilities.
Canary Mission Exposed - April 23, 2026
Q: What is your assessment of the Canary Mission operation and its impact on American freedom of expression?
The panel argues that Canary Mission represents a targeted, non-transparent approach that chills free speech and targets Americans criticizing Israel, highlighting the need for accountability and First Amendment protections.
Tucker Unchained - June 25, 2026
Q: What did the Senate vote mean for the War Powers Act and U.S. foreign policy?
It showed a rare bipartisanship to urge removal of U.S. armed forces from hostilities in Iran, but subsequent votes and political pressure suggested that support could shift and be undermined by political considerations and lobbying.
Tucker Unchained - June 25, 2026
Q: Ana, tell us all about it.
The hosts discuss the War Powers Resolution and the political back-and-forth among Republicans and Democrats regarding U.S. involvement in Iran, including the reactions of Rand Paul, Bill Cassidy, and Susan Collins.
Silly Psyops - May 27, 2026
Q: What is the state of negotiations between the United States and Iran according to the guest?
The guest suggests the fundamentals haven't changed, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and internal political dynamics in the US and Israel influence the potential for a deal; he advocates considering a path that could reduce tensions, like altering basing in the region, though several red lines remain in play for concessions.
