The Babylon Bee may have seemed niche at one point, but today it’s the most popular satire on the internet - dominating where The Onion once stood. Seth Dillon bought the Babylon Bee in 2018 and has helped the company reach an average of 20 million page views per month. 

Whether out of idiocy or fear, the Bee is regularly fact checked by tech giants for its jokes. In early 2022, one joke led to the suspension of their official Twitter account and it is still locked today. In our episode, we discuss what it’s like creating satire in a politically charged climate. Plus, we dive into his viral abortion debate with Joe Rogan, the backlash conservatives face for criticizing pediatric gender surgery scandals, and more.

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s life has been spent serving the state of Israel, from the Israel Defense Force to serving 5 terms as prime minister, and he’s shown no signs he’s done yet.

In our episode, PM Netanyahu recounts his lengthy career and explains what it looks like to continue keeping peace while on the edge of disaster at all times. Plus, he tells us about how he managed his relationship with the United States and what he has on the agenda if he is reelected.

Returning to the show, philosopher and scholar Yoram Hazony helps me dissect many of the developments in conservative thought. Yoram’s work has been vigorously discussed across both liberal and conservative media, most recently in response to his new book, “Conservatism: A Rediscovery”, where he writes of the “New Right” and America’s only way forward. 

Right now, the union is rattled. Military enlistment is plummeting, marxism is on the rise, and animus is rampant between the left and right. Join me and Yoram as we discuss our future, the gravest and immediate threats to the country, the case for limitations on free markets, and other vital subjects to rediscover.

Matt Taibbi is a liberal journalist covering finance, sports, political campaigns, international news, and more, from a subjective– often satirical– style that’s done quite well for him. But as we’ve seen, the Left has now fractured - castigating liberals like Matt who don’t accept their orthodoxy without question. 

In 2020, Matt announced the majority of his work would no longer be published at Rolling Stone after 15 years with the publication. He planted his flag at Substack to continue journalism independently. In this episode, we discuss what’s left for liberalism and journalism today, plus some stories from his time on presidential campaign trails, and what happened after he reviewed Matt Walsh’s movie “What Is A Woman?”.

With Russia and Ukraine news right now, we revisit President Trump’s presence on the world stage and his relationship with Russia versus that of President Biden. We’ll also discuss left wing media’s misinformation and dishonesty the last two years, and what it would take for Bill to vote republican.
