That sounds like something he’d enjoy. 🤮 Exposing the criminals in the homeless community. While ignoring the sacklers. The Sacklers are chosen people so it’s okay for them to get Goy addicted to heroin.
Michael frequently is called upon to challenge claims people make. The Epstein matter, Swalwell, etc. He's very skeptical of the claims made -- with good cause. How about pointing a little of that skepticism at the peaceful protests in Iran where 45,000 to 55,000 Shah supporters were said to have been mercilessly gunned down. That's the official story. I wonder about that, but at the same time I don't want to get caught up in some kind of mass-delusion conspiracy theory that outs me as a hateful bigot. Maybe Michael can sort it out before I make a fool of myself.
I’d like to see Matt apply his standards for “conspiracy brain” thinking he just wrote an article about to the claimed numbers of dead Iranian protesters. It should have raised a red flag that the number keeps inflating according to his list of heuristics, but he’s never cast doubt on it for some reason.
It’s not so much the size of the number as the history of it. It started out around 5,500 then by February it became 10-30 thousand, then last month Trump said the number is 45-60 thousand.
Matt listed number inflation as a sign of conspiracy brain as well as “the evidence is behind redactions” explanations since all of these numbers are unverifiable and based on claims from people.
This story checks two of the boxes of “conspiracy brain” that he wrote about in his recent article and yet he’s never treated it with any particular skepticism or pointed this out himself.
I didn't even make it 10 minutes in before ending the podcast, and I even waited until it was over to view it so I could fast forward. Even still, less than 10 minutes before hitting the "I'm done with Today's News" moment. They're not made for me. It's sad because ATW was one of the only podcasts I've ever watched longer than a few minutes. It was an enjoyable experience. Today's News is not, and it's not even a good rendition of what actually makes up today's news. Bye, Michael Tracey. I wish you well with your I-can't-pay-attention-for-longer-than-two-seconds audience.
Btw... Racket News (TK) started without a podcast. ATW came later, and it was a great addition, but Matt, if you ended this nonsense called Today's News, it wouldn't change my subscribership in any way. Something else might, but not this.
I hope one day there will be a live show earlier in the day. I’m parenting at 6:30pm, and the show is not appropriate for children. (I don’t want him exposed to Keir Starmer)
I’ll finish listening tomorrow. Great episode so far.
Okay, I know I'm old, and I don't want to sound hard-hearted, but these women in their 20's, who claim to have been somehow victimized by having a sexual relationship with Swalwell (gross) just don't garner much sympathy from me.
When did women become so infantile? Just say "No!" and end it. What is he going to do? Hunt them down and kill them? Fire them? So get another job.
Bring back “
America This Week”
The new Racket News format is terrific. The podcast is God-awful. Where did you find this guy--and why?
I'd have thought this would be done by now. To keep this up is just being stubborn.
Please convince Walter to come back 🙏
i saw walter on twitter today, he's busy reposting videos of homeless people murdering dogs

The show is neither watchable nor hate-watchable. Can't believe MT is giving my money to this mouth breather.
All the top comments are bashing the show which hasn’t even aired yet.
Amazin’
Maybe Michael Tracey constantly interrupting Matt while they talk about Epstein will be interesting and informative this time
Not really. . .
I have been suspecting that those leaving the nastiest comments hadn't even watched the episode.
Thanks for confirming that.

I noticed that.
I was suspicious of those numbers right from the start, & since when does the US government give a hoot about human rights, anyway?
We're continuing to supply Israel, while they carpet bomb civilian areas in Lebanon.
Although I guess Trump reportedly "asked them to stop."
It's just war propaganda. Like the gay Ayatollah. The Gayatollah.
But it's really aimed at convincing the American people that the Iranian people don't support the Iranian government.
It's like the "No Kings" and ICE protests but directed at another country instead of our own.
The more dead the better. It demonstrates how bad the bad guy is and also the strength of resolve and sacrifice from the rebels.
If these deaths were merely NPC pixels and no real animals were harmed for this narrative, then even better.
That's just ethical filmmaking.
But if we do need to come up with 60 thousand real corpses--that shouldn't be a problem.
no, trump was exaggerating the number to 35,000 right from the get-go
Now I'm wondering whether any of these "peaceful protesters" were in possession of those weapons we sent over there.
This is a great example of a question you’re not supposed to be asking.
I'm looking forward to listening to "Today's News" today, a podcast I've enjoyed listening to.

Bots don’t necessarily have agendas. Sometimes they’re just in the digital wild…

"I wonder if they're talking about Epstein"

They're talking about Epstein
It’s impossible to cancel this fucking subscription. Substack sends you onto an endless doom loop.

I usually watch or listen to it in bits and pieces, while I'm doing house work or gardening.
Great show, guys & not half-assed at all!
Regarding Trump's statements on Iran, I just can't believe anything he says anymore.
I will believe it when I see it.
Michael made a great point about how the Clintons would have loved to sue somebody over all the allegations against them way back when.
Okay, I know I'm old, and I don't want to sound hard-hearted, but these women in their 20's, who claim to have been somehow victimized by having a sexual relationship with Swalwell (gross) just don't garner much sympathy from me.

"Survivor"??? Please.
