  • Bill O’Reilly is a Ghoul

    On the September 11, 2025, bonus episode by Clay Travis and Buck Sexton of Daily Review regarding the horrific assignation of Charlie Kirk, Bill O’Reilly comes on at minute 25:30 and uses the assignation as an opportunity to hock his new book for several minutes. Absolutely disgusting. Buck Sexton should have just cut him off and hung up on him. You hear about grifters on the right, but this is one of the worst examples I have ever seen or could imagine.

  • Awesome except for

    This podcast is awesome! Except for, Ben consistently interrupting Senator Cruz. And the other thing that drives me up the wall, and I get it, we are all capitalist here. God bless, capitalism ha ha, is the constant barrage of commercials.

    But back to be interrupting center Cruz all the time. Just shut up for a minute and let him finish. Fantastic information here

    I want to listen to Cruz, he is interesting. If I wanted to listen to ben and his friends I would subscribe to them. Does Cruz need to declare the money from the advertiszer?
