I think you have the only podcast where I can listen to the news of the day and not have elevated blood pressure when its over. I can agree with the information presented or not.... but i don't get overly stressed. Thank you!!

[roses]

Excellent, as always. BTW, Trump said "virtually no inflation." Under 2% is, by the standard you cited, "virtually no inflation."

[csamples]

The most impressive part of your report today was when you talked about "pets being eatan" without giggling. 😆 😅

It's so refreshing to hear a COMPLETELY uhbiased review of both parties. Im so glad I found your page

[MichelleFone-cd]

Thank you so much for your dedication to the facts. I am someone who had been disillusioned with the news for so long that I stopped knowing what was happening in the world. Your podcast has brought me back to being an informed citizen.

[bkrumer]

Just one thing to add. There are states that impose no duty to provide care to fetuses born alive. No its not active infanticide, but still reprehensible.

[Beast.]

Not sure if there are several platforms out there like this but it is truly a breath of fresh air to receive useful & important info about the debate void of all the bias & misleading antics of the media

I got more useful info in 10 minutes here than I did in 90 watchin' the debate 😅

Thank you so much for what you do 🙏

[brianrogers]

So nice to hear facts instead of false statements. Thank you Jordan 🙏

If Biden could withdraw, why can't RFK?

Supposedly a woman in Canton was arrested for eating a cat... so they got the city wrong, but the cat eating correct - also, according to TMZ, she apparently wasn't an immigrant just an addict or person with mental issues. There are also several videos online of the people grabbing ducks and geese apparently to eat them. One pops up every time I turn on TikTok.

As far as the infanticide topic, he was referring to something Charlie Kirk said, who was in turn referring to an article in Just The News that cited Minnesota Department of Health public records. Five infants were "born alive" during 2021 (as well as three others in 2019) after failed abortions and were left to die without life-saving care - all but 2 of them were just left to sit there and die - the exceptions were given "comfort care" - which I assume means pain killers or something. None of these deaths were treated as infanticide. The article notes that most states do not require "born-alive" abortions to be reported this way so it is highly probable that this happens in other states as well but obviously cannot provide proof of this. Long story short - Trump was calling out Tim Waltz as governor of Minnesota.

Though unknowing on your part, you made a lovely & informative dinner partner as I enjoyed my cheeseburger & fries. Thank you!

Please know that there is a big difference between a hazardous duty area and a combat zone. There is Combat duty pay and imminent danger pay and then there is a combat zone. These are not all the same things

[WasATeenTeacher]

Impressive amount of detail, especially given your travel. Do you research in your sleep? I especially appreciated the "context" you put into your fact checks.

[stephentaylor]

The fact checking, I thought, followed an "equal time" format and it was helpful for mw to hear. On a mixed republican / democrat group discussion it was reported that fact checking found that former President Trump had 31 false statements to 1 for Vice President Harris. The most upsetting to me were the statements that characterized the (21 million or more) immigrants as violent criminals, being from mental institutions, taking over cities and sending crime rates to the highest ever in our history (in addition to eating people's pets in Springfield). Saying the cost of specific food items was up some astronomical amounts seemed wrong to me. I'd actually be interested in having their statements categorized as 1. Those that were undisputable; 2. Those where they have a truthful source but there are reports that differ; 3. Those which state something factual but, withoutvmore info, are misleading (e.g. small business tax credit), 4. Those which have little to no basis in fact that are espoused to mislead the electorate, and finally. 5. Offensive, outright lies. I thought your earlier analysis about the supreme court ruling on immunity that said the instances a a president's behavior that would not be immune would be rare actually supports why VP Harris expressed concern about Trump being in the White House without any guardrails. Former P. Trumps statements that she hates Israel and his persistent liberty to make up whatever served his purpose was unique to him, in my opinion. Thanks for what you do and, if you made it this far, considering my concerns, questions, and opinions.

[joshuaberry]

I was waiting on this one 😆
Sorry you had to watch that debacle with the rest of us and actually research it 😅

Subscribed. Stay true to your motto Unbiased.

[barneymiller]

Roe v. Wade should never have been left a court ruling. It is too controversial. This should have been legislation 40+ years ago one way or the other. Leaving it a ruling has just left this wound open and festering.

[razzimomon]

Just saw this on my feed. Definitely subscribing!

[jeffgarrison]

Appreciate the balanced assessment. Refreshing given the strong passions from both camps. Well done!

[andydykeman]

Can you address the claim that the way the CPI is calculated was changed in the last few years to make inflation look better?
