We sit down with Nick Freitas, military veteran, commentator, and former Green Beret, to break down what so many comedians like Dave Smith get dead wrong about warfare, combat, and the real-world consequences of conflict.💥 When people with no battlefield experience talk geopolitics, it can sound insightful—but often, it's dangerously naive. Nick explains what’s missing from the conversation and why real-life experience matters more than hot takes when talking about war, Israel, and global conflict.📢 Drop a comment: Should war be something only veterans can comment on?

When the Douglas Murray vs. Dave Smith debate on Joe Rogan first went viral, we thought we had it all figured out. But after watching the fallout—and watching it again—we realized: we got it wrong.In this episode, we revisit the debate, the explosive reactions, and the chilling aftermath.

Dave Smith’s controversial comments about Darryl Cooper, WWII, Zionism and the war in Gaza on Joe Rogan’s podcast are blowing up all over X. Critics are piling on—but most of them are missing the point.In this episode, I offer a different critique—one that doesn’t rely on outrage or lazy assumptions, but goes deeper into the ideas, the framework, and the impact of what Dave said.

Darryl Cooper first earned national notoriety when he appeared on Tucker Carlson's YouTube show to explore the real criminals behind the atrocities of WWII. (Hint: It isn't who you think!) Now, his appearance on Joe Rogan has sparked outrage in the Jewish community, denouncing both Joe and his guest as... you guessed it. Watch it here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mHt2PMKdOS6TFoGADOIY5

But should Darryl Cooper be denounced? In this episode we give our takes on controversial "historian" Daryl Cooper's appearance on Joe Rogan, and the tradeoffs we make when we label someone as an antis*mite. Are we doing more harm than good? What else can we do to fight?We discuss what we liked about Darryl Cooper, what we disagree with, and how to attack his ideas rather his character.
