Ep. 530 - Money Printer Go Brrr: The Trump bucks are here! Coronavirus stimulus checks hit people’s bank accounts yesterday, giving much-needed relief to millions of Americans, and the mainstream media are furious about it. But are left-wing journalists angry about the policy, or are they just upset that President Trump is getting all the credit? Then, liberal governors give us even more evidence that the coronavirus pandemic is politically a thing of the past, the government power grab leaves victims dead in its wake, and, speaking of criminals, a new report alleges that Jussie Smollett had sex with his attacker, which is particularly awkward since Jussie Smollett attacked himself. We’ll take a broad look at love in the time of self-isolation. Check out The Cold War: What We Saw, a new podcast written and presented by Bill Whittle at https://bit.ly/2z2j1NB. In Part 1 we peel back the layers of mystery cloaking the Terror state run by the Kremlin, and watch as America takes its first by The Michael Knowles Show

All The President's Minutes - "It doesn't make sense" with James Oliphant: All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. In a special bonus episode, I join National politics correspondent for Reuters, James Oliphant. Blake and James discuss the ramifications of Trump's election tampering tapes and tries to explain that he's no longer surprised by the current president's actions, rather the flagrant approach to disrupt American political institutions. by One Heat Minute Productions

The Impeachment Scandal’s Strange Connections (Ep 1111): In this episode, I address the ongoing soft coup against Trump through the faux impeachment and its strange ties to the explosive Spygate scandal. News Picks:Yes. This is a soft coup. Here’s why. Fox News’ Martha MacCallum destroys radical leftist Eric Swalwell. John Solomon’s latest article is a damning portrayal of the media coverup of the Spygate scandal. This older article is clear evidence of what the Democrats are really hiding in Ukraine. Great news - while the hapless Democrats conduct their faux impeachment, the GOP were busy flipping this Circuit Court. Hysterical. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign merchandise bashing billionaires is being sold by a company managed by a billionaire. The Mayor of Baltimore has the worst excuse yet for his city’s high murder rate.
