Thanks for bringing Adam on! He's quite a fella.

Unfortunately, Mr. Kinzinger is correct vis a vis President Bidens' approach to support Ukraine: the Presiident needs to strengthen his spoken support for Ukraine winning the conflict against Russia. As for Mr. Kinzinger, the US needs more Republicans with his level of integrity. Great guesr!

Thank for a another great episode and the additional cat story.

How can anyone in the Land of the Free be against Ukraine? I simply do not understand.

This is an incredibly important podcast. Adam, Well put!

Its matter of weeks for Russians to take Avdivka

"Waiting to be told what to think". This is the main problem with American politics and democracy in general. Some people have the freedom to make their own choices but refuse to do so.

It's about time that an American critic of Trump in Adam Kinzinger is being interviewed !!

I do believe that Russia would happily use unarmed prisoners as hostages or camouflage...they have before. Of course, we all know the massacre of prisoners last year was a war crime of the most cowardly and most criminal sort. Writing dark gaslighting tales does not change the truly disgusting Russian storytelling or stone cold lies . I hope Ukraine has learned these facts no matter who proposed the new 'Peace' initiative .

I really enjoyed this video. British radio interviewing Adam Kinzinger.

Fantastic guest and great conversation.

Thankyou so much for inviting Adam Kinzinger to contribute.

He continues to impress. I first encountered Adam about a decade ago when he was invited as the guest speaker to the AGM of NAYGN. A truly impressive address.

Adam had in his area many nuclear power stations.

I was a visitor from Canada, a lucky old Fart!

My favorite Republican he is awesome needs more like him

Avdiivka has fallen. 😅 Elvis has left the building.

[jeannettejordan]

Excellent analysis of what’s going on in the US.

[JB-xgio]

I listen to all these podcasts as they come out and they are excellent. Please keep up the great work! I wasn't familiar with Adam but I am heartened to hear his commentary on the state of things here in the US as I am terribly ashamed of the isolationist rhetoric coming out of the mouths of some of our congressmen.

It's always good to hear the voice of Francis Dearnley. Francis leaves me with a breathtaking hard-on.
