Also, the Republican Party is getting more violent. Could Trump take things further and try to physically intimidate President Biden?...

In the show today: we discuss recent attacks on American Jews and historical attacks on Muslims following 9/11. The rise of antisemitic violence is extremely scary, but many of the Left don’t believe it is a problem. Are they fueling its rise? We’ll be talking about the recent bill proposed by Mike Johnson that aims to provide aid to Israel by cutting funding from the IRS to protect rich tax cheat...

In this week's episode of The Banter Roundtable podcast, we talk updates to the Israel/Palestine war and the escalating disinformation campaigns surrounding it.

Are Republicans still going t...

In the show today: Kevin McCarthy is moving forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into the “Joe Biden Crime Family”. Why would McCarthy do something this dumb? There’s a (very stupid) explanation. Hunter Biden has been charged by the DoJ, shocking detail emerges about Mitt Romney’s private security, and Russia is trying to jack up gas prices just in time for 2024. Listen by clicking the play b...

In the show today: House Republicans are preparing to open an “impeachment inquiry” into President Biden’s alleged crimes.

Books on Joe Biden are bombing, which is great for Biden (but not for the press), Trump’s IT guy has flipped in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, and Elon Musk blames J...

In today’s podcast: We talk about possibly the most pointless debate in political history. Did Ron DeSantis or any of the other candidates make a coherent argument that GOP voters should choose them?

Wagner war lord and one time Putin usurper Y...

I recently spoke with Derek Beres from the Conspirituality Podcast about the new book he authored with Matthew Remski and Julian Walker ‘Conspirituality - How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat.’ It is an incredibly timely book that guides readers through the deeply troubling world of charismatic New Age conspiracy theorists. Based on their podcast that was birthed at the beginning...

In the show today: We have a brief alien/UAP update before digging into the huge news this week of Trump’s third indictment over trying to steal the 2020 election. Is this the big one?

I spoke with Askold about the curre...

We also talk the GOP’s upcoming nightmare, President Biden’s Democratic challengers, and have the ultimate exa...
