I don't know how you guys take live comments. Are all these people paid subscribers? I'd guess if they're paying customers then they're probably not trolls but it's still hard to believe. But many props, depending on the video, each week you have people from alternating viewpoints with the need to express disappointment in your commentary and I find that refreshing.
I remember a time when one of America's best coping mechanisms was the ability to laugh at ourselves and difficult situations. My generation, admittedly ancient, laughed at everything. When the Challenger shuttle blew up, we all told Christa Mccauliff jokes through our tears. We weren't horrible people, we just found laughter united and soothed us. Now, everyone is offended by everything. No one is talking, no one is laughing, everyone is offended. My time was better.
Gents, good job on the attack on the nuclear sites in Iran. Illegitimati non carborundum. The strange thing about our current media-based era is nobody starts from American patriotism and unity, then argues from that premise. We should demand this, over and over. Hines and Schiff, neither of whom is a leader who starts from that premise (perhaps because they can’t accept the result of the last election and therefore can’t rationally start that way), have made themselves irrelevant to those of us who do.
Enough! You both speak of an Iranian nuclear program as if it is a reality. How does Iran prove a negative. Two well read guys, yet, both lack haven read knowledge authors on the topic of Iran, think, Noam Chomsky. Could your rhetoric on Iran, your friendly-ish comments about Israel, particularly Benjamin Netanyahu (a genocidal psycho) with a tint of fear of Israel’s powers over Hollywood and other media. It is likely most writers in that industry requires approval from Israeli-run powerhouses capable to make or break deals with talented writers. Too many talents are forced to self-censor or echo bullshit to please the powers that be.
Iran has been threatening us for decades now.. Death to America. Death to America and they’ve been working fervently to create a nuclear arsenal to carry out those repeated threats.
This is most similar to a man sitting across the street with a rifle and saying he’s going to kill you and everyone you know while He Loads the Rifle..
Are you just going to sit there and watch Him continue to load to the very last round? Or do you take away the weapon and the ammo?
Trump Hadthe balls To take his weapon.. The first president to do it..
I'm getting used to the distribution of Monday livestreams as recordings. Anyhow, thanks for giving us viewing options that let us shun YouTube! I suppose you have no instructions on what you might prefer between Substack and Rumble, so I'm on my own. (I'll watch live on Substack; recorded on Rumble--as long as I know what day it is. Thank you!!
Jesus, you two are having a time of it. Better you than me. Except for the literary part of what you do, which is priceless and one of the best segments on any show anywhere, I sense a struggle to resist the urge to drop-kick most of your audience into the nosebleed seats.
It’s a remote possibility that I may be one of those annoying pests, despite my admiration for you both. Walter has already shunned me on X for a perceived slight I still have trouble remembering as an actual criticism. I would love the chance to go over that with him and apologize, but won’t lose sleep in the meantime. Life is short, and what’s left of mine is even shorter.
Regardless, I have a perspective that aligns intellectually and morally with both of yours, but which includes a couple of wrinkles. I especially agree that it’s not wrong or dumb to keep your enemy from being able to do to you what you’ve done to others. It is not wrong to attempt to destroy anyone’s capability to launch an apocalyptic weapon. It is not wrong to plot and carry out actions against entities who want you and yours obliterated.
But where I go further is in positing that “we,” as in the American/British-led global capitalist empire, is actually responsible for the entire geopolitical morass in which we are mired today. What I do not do, however, is assume as others mistakenly do that that empire is necessarily “evil” and should be violently “resisted.” I suspect that there have been damn good existential reasons for keeping nations divided and conquered, and for championing the goals of Western civilization, as opposed to the harsh paradigms coming out of Asia and other quarters of the globe. I do think “we” can do a hell of a lot better. Anyway, carry on, and try not to kill yourselves like some of our other heroes did.
Some men are still cavalier about tossing around suicide as a joke. I'm with it!
I remember as a girl child 1960s, repeating the phase, "Ack, I'm going to kill myself!" No therapy, no therapy jar, just an outlet of a pre-adolescent moment. Therapy jars came a little later...70s, I think.

Fuck this traitorous piece of shit.
