Customer Reviews
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.
Digestible info for difficult to digest material
I heard your conversation with Destiny and was really impressed. Thanks for putting in the work and I am looking forward to hearing more of your content!
Great podcast
