Truly a podcast for real Patriots

Easy to digest, but still very much intellectually stimulating and engaging. Especially his talk with Destiny, almost literally getting Destiny to admit he’s on board with Socialism. (Destiny’s only critique of Kevin’s stance was of the word Socialism) Highly recommend.
