-
Criticism of Stephen Colbert:
- Opinion: “I don't feel sorry for Stephen Colbert. I don't even like him. I know them all.”

- Impact on Colbert’s Career: He asserts, “That is what led to Colbert's failure, if you want to use that word,” suggesting that the lack of diverse viewpoints contributed to Colbert's departure from CBS.
-
Listener Engagement:
- Robert’s Insight: “Your analysis about Obama is spot on... Democrats, they're not going to turn on Barack Obama and most Republicans don't like him.”
- Blake Shazarin’s Reference: Drawing from Richard Nixon's final speech, “others will hate you, but if you hate them back, you'll be destroyed,” Greg comments, aligning it with the corporate left-wing media's antagonism towards Trump.
- Tom’s Election Forecast: Discusses the New York City mayoral race, expressing skepticism about Mandami's lead and the potential shift of voters if other candidates drop out.

- Treaty of Versailles: The 1919 treaty formally ended the war but imposed harsh penalties on Germany, setting the stage for the rise of Adolf Hitler and the onset of World War II.
