Listen Later

What happens when two politically inclined podcasters, born out of the world of writing, collide? You get a riveting and insightful discussion between yours truly, Rich Helpe, and Russell Dabular from Due Dissidence. We're taking you on a journey from the bustling streets of Flushing, New York, to the global stage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and finally, landing in the heart of economics and politics.

Have you ever found yourself confused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? It's a complex issue that often leaves many overwhelmed and retreating to the safety of ignorance. But that ends today. Society is faced with grim realities, including the tragic loss of innocent lives. We're cutting through the noise, challenging the notion that this conflict is too complicated to understand, and shedding light on the need to recognize all lives lost as equally valuable. Beyond that, we're diving into the dark depths of extremism, its impact on societies, and how it has led to the truancy of the liberal social project.

But it's not all doom and gloom; there's a silver lining. How would a Trump Presidency have shaped today's economy? What role does independent media play in upholding our First Amendment rights? Russell Dabular shares his insights on these and more, stirring up an intriguing dialogue on the future of US politics and free speech. So, pull up a seat, and let's navigate the tumultuous waters of politics and economic discourse together. Remember, this isn't just about listening. It's about finding common ground and bridging societal divides.
