  1. #67 - What about XinJiang? Part 2

    We finish our reading selection from "The East Is Still Red" by Carlos Martinez and talk MORE Israel Palestine! Why did Israel open fire on civilians at a music festival? SOME of them MIGHT be terrorists of course.

  2. #66 - What about XinJinag?

    Isn't CHINA doing a genocide too? Well. I dunno. Look at the evidence. This week we talk about Palestine and how Israel keeps killing thousands of children there. But ALSO we talk about XinJiang province in China where there's a fake "genocide" also "taking place". Who knows though! No way to…

  4. #64 - The USA’s only political party wants to keep private priosns open, despite the will of NJ voters.

    Why can New Jersey residents vote to close private prisons, if the "good" side of our single political party can just force them open again through court proceedings? Because that's what's happening. Pepper also discusses the forbidden country song, and the very weird response to it!
