still realy enjoy the show but would appreciate a better volume control from segment to segment thanks
when did Drumpff serve or study geo politics in an accredited university? was it Oxford? I forgot.
realy love the show
did you put everything into gold Baker? If it's so hot, why are they selling? huh?
These episodes feel a little more personal lately. I think Mike is adding a bit more of his own commentary, and I like it.
Why do you sound more and more like Captain Kirk? a.k.a. William Shatner.
Mike Baker you're sending me way too many advertisements on your podcast
You guys know WE are embarking on a GENECIDAL EXTENSION of a PEOPLE! The land belong to Palistine! Remember the Jews killed Jesus and he still Loves them! GRACE, PEACE AND MERCY in the name of JESUS!
NBC News also offered a bridge 4 sale in NY....according to 'anonymous' sources. 🙃😁😵
honestly getting tired of the 50% ad space and I don't want to have to subscribe to every single podcast I listen to would be like thousands of dollars a month LOL so getting turned off Mike Baker
'Reports claim'; 'unnamed sources'; what kind of 💩 are you peddling? PDB is nothing but speculation. If I want that I can listen to MSNBC, CNN, or Morning Joe.
Russia is paranoid. They think the West is creeping toward their borders to invade like the Germans did in June 1941. How do you deal with paranoia? The Russians (Soviets) expressed this view to the GHW Bush administration which ignored them. Our track record in this arena is not very good.
Mike, (and team) what are the words that are blacked out in your PDB logo? Thank you all, for your effort.
War in Ukraine: How much 💰💰 and 💀😵 is Europe willing to 'contribute' to Ukraine?🤔 For the US answer is 'we're broke'; it's Europe's problem now. The EU is a BIG BLOATED bureaucracy that feeds Euros to itself.
Deja Vu of April 25, 1846. Only this time, the HI TECH version. Kill them all; let Montezuma sort them out.🤕🙃😁
Intelligence leak!! someone ask Holman if he's ever heard of OP SEC (operations security). If it was me, I'd be looking to fire and PROSECUTE an OpSec leaker; but what do I know?🤔🤓
CIA buy outs.😵💫🤔 Hmm you know Clapper and Brennan are pissed.
Meskin La Presendenta needs to deploy troops along the Meskin southern border, too. 😵💀
GOOD. Clean house. FBI should be abolished OR significantly downsized. The 'new' HQ canceled. A 'money pit' 💰with no bottom and NO results.💀👎🙈🙉🙊
Send the Gaza residents to Syria. Egypt nor Jordan want them to destabilize their already very fragile country.
