    Chris not covering Andrew Cuomo; CPAC and the Odal Rune

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 3, 2021 16:53


    Chris Cuomo says he can't cover his brother Andrew's scandals, and immediately people pile on, as if it were inappropriate for him to have entertained people with interviews with his brother before. While I am no fan of either Chris or Andrew's views, the propaganda sold as news on CNN, or the Governor of NY's murderous policies or personal problems, I'm not buying it. Chris didn't do anything wrong. And neither did CPAC, no matter how many people frantically pointed to their stage design and called it a Nazi symbol. For them to be morally consistent, these same people have to condemn all Democratic donors. Listen to find out why.

    Violence, impeachment and censorship are all wrong

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 13, 2021 16:32


    If any good will come out of the horrible riot at the Capitol last week, it will be unifying around the idea that violence is always wrong under all circumstances. Given the leftist narrative of the summer, however, there is ample reason to believe that they will persist in promoting the idea that violence is an appropriate way to express a grievance. They are placing their vendetta against the President ahead of their own agenda, much less the needs of the American People, and censoring (deplatforming) dissenting voices, which — according to their own rhetoric, and reality — only encourages violence to erupt.
