  1. Everyone should subscribe to this common sense no bullshit podcast. We are so busy threading water in our carreers (my case only?) We don't have time to search all sources for no-spin news we feel reasonably sure to be accurate.

  2. I'm in Taiwan. Been here 25 years. Nobody is even talking about this or is remotely worried. It's just another ho hum BS act of a little bully that can't get his way. They did it when pelosi came here , they do this shit all time.

  3. mr baker, great interview. just want to point out a slight suggestion . on your interview, there is a horizontal red line at the bottom of the scrren that looks similar to the youtube progress meter. can you change that color bc sometimes I think the podcast is almost over when in fact it is just your border.

  4. God, I missed the first episode? Dammit. Mike you're the best. You're always a straight shooter and give me hope that the agencies still do some good.

  5. Ford Granada? Or Mercedes? How could you tell. (Thank you for interviewing excellent sources in this podcast. Excellent questions. Excellent information. I learned a great deal of substantive information.)

  6. Unfortunately this guy has some big biased blind spots. "China has been supplying lethal aid from the beginning of the conflict." Lol, right. He lost me there. Even the host made a face like "what the fuck are you talking about?" China has given RU a pittance.

    And then he bitches about Biden, meanwhile Trump is infinitely worse on Ukraine….

    yeah ok, i'm out. Too dumb for me.

  7. alot better than mainstream media..I have lost all faith in them because of all the lies and it's apparent they don't understand why we are prone to conspiracies these days is..well..there fault..lie to me enough and I'll question your every movement

  8. What a LIAR this guy is. There were MILLIONS of ppl on the streets in Iran mourning. Millions. And I'm not Iranian, nor do I care about Iran. But I do care about the truth, and you are a LIAR. Pure BS CIA talking points LOL.

  9. China has been aiding and abetting Putin's unnecessary war of aggression upon Ukraine since 2014. Meaning that the war criminal status should also extend to Xi Jinping.

    If you want additional in-depth academic information, outside of YouTube, regarding what countries like Russia and China are doing; then I highly encourage using these useful resources, which have extensive reports:

    –   Amnesty International

    –   Atlantic Council

    –   Australian Strategic Policy Institute

    –   Carnegie Endowment

    –   Cato Institute

    –   Center for European Policy and Analysis

    –   Center for New American Security

    –   Center for Strategic and International Studies

    –   Foundation for Defense of Democracy

    –   Helsinki Commission

    –   Heritage Foundation

    –   Hudson Institute

    –   Human Rights Watch

    –   Jamestown Foundation

    –   National Endowment for Democracy

    –   Royal United Services Institute

    –   Safeguard Defenders

    –   Stimpson Center

    –   Wilson Center

    This is a list of multinational think tanks and NGO's, that present their data and findings for the sake of public transparency and accountability.

    Apologists for pro-Authoritarian regimes despise these organizations for exposing what their rogue governments do.

  10. I’ve been thinking about another podcast I saw where the instability in some of the Central American countries and they pointed out that the Biden administration isn’t doing enough to try to help that instability at the root. Of course the border also needs to be handled correctly. One of the countries has a leader that we helped get elected, I just forget which, is it Columbia? But it just seems logical that we could help in the region to find solutions so that so fewer people are funneling to our border. And then fixing the border problem, which hopefully the next administration jumps on, would be the other obvious solution. Mike, why do so few people talk about this? Could you give us some info about what if anything the US is doing to help, what could and should we be doing that could make a difference? It’s just like how Israel wants stability in their region. It’s just better for everyone in the long term, and I’m not just talking about giving aid; I’m talking about a political version of when we send cia or military advisors to help build military and special forces for other countries. We could help build THEM to build a solution, not doing it for them. I’d like to learn more about this and how it affects the border and how it influences and is influenced by the cartel activity and other organized crime.

  11. You may be interested in finding out about general Itzhak Brik from Israel and his opinion on the war in Gaza. He recently gave an interview stating his views but it is in Hebrew.

  12. Are you sure Taiwan doesn’t have nuclear weapons? Think about it, Taiwan is very hi-Tech and they have lots of money and valuables to trade for anything they want.
