Description
There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

Inspired by past resistance movements, Portland has at different points adopted a variety of tactics used to achieve protest objectives. Broken windows, graffiti, and nearly nightly dumpster fires has lead the perception that Portland is in ruin. But if you dig deeper than the snappy headlines you’ll find the real destruction that’s facing the city and local ecosystem is due to the unprecedented amount of poison gas munitions used in an American city.

For decades, Portland has been one of the USA's most violent battlegrounds between the white supremacist right and the anti racist left. In 2020, after months of anti police demonstrations, American fascists again took to the streets of Portland for what would be one of the bloodiest brawls in its history.

Me from Ohio and listening to this in Ohio 🧍🏼♀️
btw the plueral of uterus is indeed uteri
Oh noooooo don't Google this thing
"so that's good, that's great" funny, you see, because it isn't!
The results are in: Sophie has never said anything funny or interesting, sorry to say.
Y'all need to go back to civics class and learn the difference between a US Senator vs a STATE Senator, Governor, or Mayor! You all tolerate your Representatives living outside of their home states for most of the year so the expectation he stay is just fake outrage. None of you have the balls to push for having reps work out of home states (something effective) but would rather rage tweet about a single incident and forget about it next week (ie virtue signaling).
When you are playing the video, the volume of the video is very low. While you are commenting on it, it is impossible to hear. So, it ends up being 5 - 10 minutes of very confusing noise. Otherwise great couple of episodes.
Sofie/Sophie.... please stop eating while you and Robert are recording. Other than that you're great! Robert... never stop having your knives, swords and machetes as your surprise guest. Been listening from day 1- episode 1. Your Oregon episode sure did teach this born, raised and current Oregonian girl some things.
pretty sure Benny shaps and that author are the same
Why do these people feel the need to constantly scream, couldn't even finish this.
lmao I looked up a picture of this dude and its such an insult to compare him to Adam Driver come on 😂 great episode!
i think Robert, Sophie, and most of the guests are borderline intolerable dorks but everything about The Manosphere is worse.
lmao he just gets so much worse....
the guest sounds like Millhouse.
“The John Birch Society is an extremist organization which was founded by Robert Welch in Indianapolis, Indiana in December 1958…We certainly should not allow ourselves to be placed in a position where an organization of the character of the JBS can use statements attributed to the Bureau or to the Director to support its position in this or any other matter.

FBI POSITION ON JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY "The supporters of this organization and those influenced by the vicious propaganda it has been putting out are typical of the fanatics who have been attempting lately to disparage and discredit Bureau speakers who have been giving audiences a true, factual picture concerning the nature of the threat which communist activities in this country represent."

J. EDGAR HOOVER, November 1964 press conference: "Personally, I have little respect for the head of the John Birch Society since he linked the names of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the late John Foster Dulles, and former CIA Director Allen Dulles with communism."
What kind of guy would take a vacation in Cancun while his constituents froze to death back home in Texas? It just might be a guy named Ted Cruz.
I'm a little uncomfortable with how quick they are to blame his employees for complicity, it's really complicated, he's threatening to have people killed, as they mentioned. It's entirely possible these complicit employees were just a scared. He had the power over EVERYTHING.
