  • Ben is ignorant

    Did Ben just ask Sen Cruz to explain what the Western Hemisphere is? How ignorant is he assuming the audience is here?

  • Cruz has gone downhill

    I use to love this podcast. It was informative and nice to listen to. Now it’s so negative. Ted says Nixon was corrupt. Ted isn’t aware of history that Nixon was set up by the deep state. Ted is bought by the deep state and another group. I think Tucker broke his brain like Trump broke the lefts brains.
