Today I did an interview with Joe Kent, the former Director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, who you might recall made a big splash when he resigned from the Trump Administration on March 17, in opposition to the Iran War. While I thought Kent displayed unusual integrity by resigning, I also found the substance of his accompanying letter a bit questionable, especially insofar as it seemed to displace all decision-making ag...

After being effused with excessive praise, I get a chance to ask Batya about something that’d been bugging me for the past year. Namely: does she care to revise her April 2025 description of Trump as the “21st century FDR,” because Trump, like FDR, is purportedly “socially moderate, anti-interventionist, and committed to America’s blue collar workers as the backbone of this country.” Because that description never made much sense t...

I’ll have more to come soon on my encounter yesterday with the famed Epstein lawyer consortium. David Boies himself spoke to me for a surprisingly long time. I even had a decently extensive chat with the man, the myth, Bradley Edwards. The only problem was you can’t bring any recording devices into the federal courthouse, so I had to scribble on some haphazardly assembled scrap papers.

While in the Miami area over the past week, I thought it would be amusing to pay a visit to Destiny, whom I once “streamed” with in the past, and was astonished to discover after the fact that he was simultaneously playing video games the entire time. This naturally piqued my curiosity about the streaming lifestyle — meaning, guys like Destiny who live-stream themselves many hours a day, virtually every single day. So I asked him s...

Hooman Majd is a journalist and commentator with some unique insights on Iran, by way of his personal background, so I thought I would ask him the question I posed to myself last week, and which will presumably go down in historical infamy: “Why did Trump go to war with Iran on February 28, 2026?”

We also got into various other dimensions of the war — the nature of Trump’s second-term ideology, the structure of his administration, ...

I’m in Miami, and yesterday recorded this hot new “March Madness” tournament intro with Matt Taibbi, as well as a 2-hour discussion with Ben Swann — the guy who’s probably most responsible for popularizing “Pizzagate” in 2016, and recently claimed vindication, given how the Epstein Files prove Pizzagate, or something like that. Amusingly enough, ...

Let me know if you received a notification for this livestream while it was going on earlier tonight? I might have screwed up the promotion. Anyway, feel free to watch at your leisure, if you please. Also feel free not to watch. There are plenty of other things you probably could be doing with your time that don’t include consuming yet another podcast, even if my intent is to make this, as much as possible, the “anti-podcast podcas...

I honestly can’t recommend watching this, because it’s so petty and tedious, but I figured I might as well post it here, in case any of my Substack subscribers are pure masochists with nothing better to do. You can also watch on YouTube, if you want, but again, I really don’t recommend it.
