Why do the Friday podcasts no longer appear on the YouTube playlist? That was the easiest way to watch them for me and it’s frustrating that they disappeared
I have been listening to the podcast regularly for probably over two years, and I have to share some thoughts now that I believe it has taken a different turn.
First of all, I have to note that Walter has often gone into the conspiracy theory land with many things, and it's quite boring as I can predict his position on all things regarding Musk or Trump, for example (he's going to defend them). To make it clearer, when I say conspiracy theories, I literally mean theories without any evidence except an attractive story. I don't feel that Matt wholeheartedly agrees with those stories, but he just goes along with them, not challenging him.
I mean, they're both smart and have some great insights, but now I feel like they just want to be contrarians to the Democratic mainstream no matter the cost (Walter more than Matt).
They comment on Democrats and the Republicans like they are distant when in reality, it's one same oligarchic class that is not fighting for the common people with a few exceptions (like an honest mayor or congressman here and there).
All in all, I feel like they're missing the bigger picture of what's going on in America this week and commenting in a small limited box of accepted discourse, and I'm disappointed to see that because both were the symbols of the exact opposite.
