  • Is this a GRU Op?

    I’m frankly suspicious of Third Way and UFTR. As a former intelligence analyst who’s worked in Ukraine and Russia both seem to target those in a broad coalition against Trump and fascism from different angles acting as corrosives. Dems who aren’t far enough in their corner are as much the enemy. Moderate Dems are sometimes treated as much the enemy as the Proud Boys.

  • Max Brings No BS Commentary to Economics and Politics

    Max tells economics like it is on Main Street, not Wall Street. He brings high energy, sound bites from politicians and pundits, and sarcasm to the world of policymaking and how decisions made up top affect us down at the bottom.

  • Please 86 99

    Great show until 99 pipes up. I’m a veteran and despise trump and the GOP. But. Good God 99, nothing has me fast forwarding more than her. Her “I don’t care about the US” during the Olympics was—not gonna lie—almost MAGA level vile.
