this kid is the least relatable hero you could have picked for this story
New member. You must have a goal and stay within your means!
haha Trump staying on message? this aged like milk
since they have such strong opinions... I wonder how they feel about the people being oppressed and murdered in China?
why not discuss the elephant in the room? Cut public pensions like the private sector has done?
It's a European company, you stupid jackass. Are you going to tell Li Ning that their sports brand lacks diversity because it features mostly chinese people?!
'trump came in and lied about his polling, then lied about the virus, and continued to lie for the entire interview' WSJ why give the lying criminal any platform?
What did you think was gonna happen when you invested in a commie company, dumbass!
His business got looted, he's still protesting. Anti-riot protesting?
Excellent program. Solid questions that I wanted to ask Dr. Fauci. Thank you for this.
It's a pissing contest. The saudis are rich, they will last. The russians are taking money from the chinese, they will also last.
If a Republican declares he's running on a "democratic nazism" and those millions of deaths in the 20th century were not the result of "real nazism." I think that guy would have been burned on a stake.
Very insightful episode.
Great info, in depth reporting on various topics.
This should have had a warning for content inappropriate for kids. Listeners often have kids in the car. This isn’t a podcast that would contain sensitive content
Y is this podcast not working. Unable to hear any of the episodes
taylor is just being taylor -- an immature little girl. no matter how much she has. nothing to see here.
This also shows you these so-called socially conscious organizations like Hollywood and the NBA, doesn't give a damn about your social justice. it's what sells. when things really matter and they have to make a true stance between right and wrong, they pick money even if it goes against everything they allegedly believe in. left learning liberal groups are not more than hypocrites.
What's the solution? Bring the whole crumbling to the ground that's called the chinese communist government. That God-damnn government is brainwashing china into a loser country. Take it down. Take it all down!
Not one mention of Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend.... Which is one of the only programs where both the left and the right can agree on in some way. The only plan that holds corporations accountable... 🙄
