npub1xq3354pt3jumuqceuz7l49xhd5estn4y2erx228dkgwqe3pl76uq2qdx2w@drss.io

If you want the standard conservative talking points, this podcast isn’t for you. But if you want to go deeper, get to the bottom of what is really going on behind the media smokescreens, explore the intellectual foundations of our America-First movement, and challenge your preconceived notions, then join Vivek Ramaswamy and go beyond the Overton window. Get ready for conversations you won’t find anywhere else.
