"What we're seeing now is that sunlight grows bacteria much quicker than the lack of sunlight did."
Noam Dworman, lifelong free-speech absolutist, admits the Darryl Cooper era has shaken his faith in what free speech produces - prompted by a Latvian-American Bitcoin analyst who thinks Tucker Carlson, Dave Smith and Scott Horton are the exact people Eastern Europe learned to fear.
Was Trump's diesel deal with Putin a betrayal of Ukraine, or triage in the Iran war? If nobody in the know predicted Putin's invasion, why does everyone now call it inevitable? Would Putin ever have used a nuke over a no-fly zone? Is Trump compromised, or just a man who likes dictators? Noam and Matthew Mezinskis disagree on most of it, but agree on this: there is no kompromat on Trump, and we'd know by now if there were.
Also: Tucker Carlson's Poland remarks, Steve Witkoff and "Dim Philby," the four oblasts and the fortress belt, the Axios report on Zelensky, the Kuwait drone attack, Scott Horton at the Oxford Union, Larisa Horton, Macklemore and Robert Kraft, Jeffrey Sachs to David Sacks, Russia's one-picket rule, Pussy Riot, Tulsi Gabbard's biolabs, Operation Spiderweb, and the WHO sanitation chart that ends the show.

"To say that Boris Johnson went there and forced the Ukrainians to fight on - that is complete bullshit."
"They hated each other." That's Elliot Kaufman describing Israel's war cabinet, not its enemies.
Hen Mazzig, co-founder of the Tel Aviv Institute and author of The Wrong Kind of Jew, says Israel won on the battlefield and lost the world, and that explaining Israel "is not a replacement for policy." He spent five years in COGAT, the IDF unit that issues Palestinian permits and prison visits, and was attacked by settlers while in uniform. We play his Piers Morgan fight with Norman Finkelstein ("Am I a child killer?") and go through what Amit Soussana actually said. Noam asks whether Israel would hold the West Bank if it had no holy sites, why the occupation is the Palestinians' best weapon, and why "sunlight grows mushrooms." Also: Mamdani's October 7 statement, Mearsheimer on the Hannibal Directive, Eurovision, and why Noam thinks everyone should have a baby.
Three years after October 7: What's Next for Israel and the Jewish People.
Is Nathan Cofnas's "Guide for the Hereditarian Revolution." a plan to heal or America, or is it simply a racist manifesto dressed up as science.
