  • 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. Now I have been listening to just the Friday show via the free ad supported feed...and it's just ridiculous. Since I have YT premium, I guess I should just listen there via clips instead. It's a shame how TYT has fallen.

  • Please stop screaming

    I really wish I could listen to this but Cenk’s constant screaming in my ear makes it nearly impossible. I love Ana, wish Cenk would take a step back tbh.

  • Accurate news that I can’t stand because of the hysterics

    Can you just provide the news without the hysterical emoting? I quit New York Times and try to transition to this over and over yet every time I can’t stand the sensational mocking and yelling. PLEASE you’re detracting rather than adding

  • New listener

    Liking it so far. Both hosts are passionate & not afraid to speak their truth—a refreshing change from the usual tip-toeing at the risk of being labeled “controversial.”

    Only con is the ads for non-subscribers. Even tho I can skip ahead, the sheer amount is annoying.

    Also, can someone explain the random music? I’m sure there’s a reason.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gorka's New Rules - May 14, 2026
Q: Could being vocal against the war be a marker that Gorka uses to label someone a domestic terrorist?
Yes, Ken Klippenstein explains that vocal opposition to the Iran war and critical coverage of U.S. policies can be reframed as indicators of radicalized or terrorist tendencies under NSPM 7, illustrating how political dissent could be categorized as extremist activity.
Meloni Ditches Trump - April 15, 2026
Q: So I actually wanted to start off with some theoretical or philosophical questions.
Glenn Diesen discusses realism versus neoclassical realism, the role of rationality in decision-making, and how internal political dynamics and ideology can influence foreign policy beyond pure external power distribution.
Trump's Phony Negotiations - March 26, 2026
Q: From your experience, was Iran truly an imminent threat when the war began?
No, the threat was not imminent; the discussion should have focused on measurable objectives and a clear strategy rather than rushing into regime change.
Too Far Sargon - February 4, 2026
Q: Do you think there has been an evolution in how Republican voters view Israeli influence?
Yes, Republican voters are becoming more concerned about Israeli influence, which is a relatively new trend.
Too Far Sargon - February 4, 2026
Q: What standards do candidates have to meet to gain support from AZIPAC?
Candidates must promise not to take Zionist money and not send arms to Israel, and they must complete a 19-point questionnaire.
