What does Mike think about the platforming of antisemitic conspiracy theorists like Ian Carrol and others on the right via the likes of Joe rogan et al. Recent iteration of antisemitism has been from the left but the right conspiracy theorists appear to have been carried along and emboldened by a trump win. There also seems to be a strong clamp down on left based antisemitism by the administration but a blind eye to the rise of the age old problem on the right

Is it possible to completely get rid of the "deep state" is there a secret fund of zillions left over from the 1950's which only a select few get to know about and use?

What countries around the world seem to have the purest form of government or at least minimal influence from "the blob" or similar style of corruption, do any exist?

The Five-Eyes countries are meant to be an example to the rest of the world in regards free speech and freedom of expression.

What is the most outstanding action that each of the Five-Eyes countries is taking that stifles or limits free speech or freedom of expression?

Does Mike believe US State Department employees, and employees in other federal agencies, actively undermined Trump when he was running for president?

WHY DOES TRUMP GET TO BE PRESIDENT WHEN HE GETS CONVICTED OF A FELONY FOR LYING ON HIS TAXES, BUT I GET DENIED AN SF-85P FOR LYING ABOUT BEING FIRED FROM THAT JOB I HATED THREE YEARS AGO?!

Blob-like behaviour is the inevitable result of big government. Reform is impossible. The only solution is to radically reduce or even abolish the functions of government. Do you agree?

My first name rhymes with beery. I watched a Yanis Varoufakis video on China and the West in Africa. In addition, although YouTube heavily censors African content creators critical of the West, many of the sources I've found from the likes of Responsible Statecraft point to a recent American history of overthrowing democracies, just because they entertain shifting to the gold standard or sign trade deals with China.

My question is this- is it true to state that China's approach to Africa is close to a latter day Marshall Plan, whilst the West has engaged in subverting democracy and an energy policy intent upon keeping Africa poor, and ripe for resource extraction?

How much of this is actually due to deeply flawed supranational agencies- what William Easterly referred to as 'The Tyranny of Experts' in the book of the same name?

Also, have you guys thought about inviting Professor Steve Keen onto the show? HIs video about Trump's tariffs and how China managed to industrialise was highly informative. I don't agree with him in many areas- but sometimes his takes are highly insightful.
