Just Asking Questions

Interesting podcast until Jacob Grier who is not rational at all and has completely bought the corporate media narrative with all of their lies. Both candidates are poor, but there is zero upside for Kamala Harris being president. Jacob Grier is not a libertarian by any stretch of the imagination. Personally I voted for RFK jr, but between Trump and Harris, Thump is far better or rather much less bad. Jacob Grier brought up Tim Walz as a good thing. I’ve been aware of Tim Walz since before he became governor and aside from before being elected, have regretted ever believing his numerous lies. It’s a toss up between Harris and Walz as who is worst. The first two guests were reasonable and Jacob Grier is just a democrat partisan masquerading as a libertarian. How could an actual libertarian believe so little libertarian ideas. Chase Oliver is far more libertarian than Jacob Grier Is. I can’t express enough of just how repulsive and ignorant Jacob Grier is. He embodies the very worst aspects of our current political climate. Simply disgusting. It’s not that he supports Harris, it his unquestioningly swallowing the lies and distortions of the corporate media even after they have been exposed as lies and dishonest distortions. Like I said, I don’t like Trump, but he isn’t who they portray. The hyperbolic rhetoric is far worse coming from the anti trump camp than Trump. This is astounding as Trump is crass. As an independent viewing from the outside, I’m left feeling disgusted with the anti trump camp far more than Trump. Not enough to vote for him, but surely would not reward the disgraceful people and their candidate Harris.

Alone and you’ll get a clearer picture of the electorate. All the gender/race/education segmentation clouds the picture. Go with income. Conclusive.

Content is generally good but man shorten up the questions.

I think Zach does a terrific job of giving space for guests to speak openly and freely without taking over or dominating the discussion. It's a wonderful tactic when interviewing someone. Liz is terrible and maybe should stick to writing articles instead of battling guests and making it about herself. A good host sometimes needs to pretend to own ideas you disagree with, not badger them because they don't say what you want them to say a la Chase Oliver. That was an extremely disappointing episode and put me off of Liz as a serious journalist. Otherwise, the audio could use an upgrade in both the capture side as well as in post with a little leveling/mixing and maybe at times denoising. I know you can't usually control the guest's sound quality, but you can do a lot with a few presets.
