Jim Richards is idiot who doesn’t know what he is talking about I’m

Do better. Seriously. Don’t purvey yourselves as leftists when you are simply conservative shills hiding behind the Democrat label. Your takes are as bad as your business strategy.

both these sad boomers have the hairline of a poodle w mange, neither of them have ever been anything remotly close to successful comics and now theyre doing the sad old guy podcast thing where they try to make it not obvious theyre just stealing twitter iokes and using buzzwords in a desperate attemptt o sound relevant. listening to these failed middle age out of shape dudes say the left arent masculine is so wild they both have the sort of build where i genuinely would worry i could accidentally hurt them

How did these guys get to think they have anything to say? How does anyone take them seriously? Just a bunch of right wing twaddle with occasional racism mixed in - referring to Rishi Sunak, Kisin said: “He’s a brown Hindu; how is he English?”

I started listening to you guys as a left leaning American voter who wanted a perspective from outside the country. I listened to “The State of Britain” episode and I know that you guys keep saying “America is full of optimism now” etc. That optimism isn’t felt by everyone. As a citizen, I look at the chaotic omnishambles currently going on and it doesn’t instill optimism. It looks like a train wreck waiting to happen.

Used to really enjoy the show. Sadly, as they became more popular they’ve cut back on how much they challenge their guests. I suspect they’re worried about upsetting their “important” guests or audience growth. I’ve noticed they let anyone who says bigoted and false things about Christians continue on with some chuckles of agreement. I’ve also noticed that they often attribute hateful beliefs to the right and express surprise or exasperation when the “right” seem to have good ideas. For instance, in the interview talking about welfare benefits it’s the bad right who cares about the money spent on overuse of welfare but the left cares about the human toll. Hey, news flash- “right” sided people are not monsters but care about our fellow human beings, too. It’s just stuff like this and how yall don’t challenge things as much that I’m finding your podcast much less interesting. I wish you both well.

Konstantin Kisin you are boring!!

Gentlemen Very sad for me as a U.S. citizen that the United Kingdom, our closest ally, is beyond saving. Praying for your salvation An avid listener

I really like these guys - they bring a good perspective, well thought out arguments and a variety of guests. Couldn’t finish the Duncan Trussell episode though - mainly bc of such over use of the f word. I’m sure many of you are thinking I should just f-off (see what I did there) but hear me out: these guys talk about a lot of problems in society. I think language is one. Mainly how so many people lack an expansive vocabulary. We’ve gotten to the point where the F word no longer brings anything extra to the vernacular. Instead it’s just used the way kids in the 90s said “like”. I don’t mind it when appropriate. But there are a plethora of other adverbs and adjectives in the English language readily available . When I hear someone who prefers to just insert the F word every 3 or 4 sentences, I start to wonder how intelligent and well-read they really are. In American society, having public decorum is rapidly diminishing. It’s my challenge to people to bring it back…

Loved the show, have been a listener for years, even while disagreeing with most of your conclusions, because o respected the fairness and good faith of your supporting arguments. Now it’s all clickbait aind rage-mongering. Very disappointed.

Fellas you needed to challenge Andrew Bogut on his spreading of the QAnon hoax. You only truly challenge your guests on the Left. That’s not good enough.

Wasn’t sure at first but now I’m waiting to see what’s next. Well done. Please continue to expand and explore who you interview.

Mr. Fry complained that president Trump brags about how good he is and says that no English person would ever vote for him. Was he upset when president Obama bragged about being a better speech writer than his speech writer and about being better than the people in his administration? Mr. Fry comes across as disconnected from reality. He does not get censored because he has accepted positions by the government.

Used to be a great show before they started taking that AIPAC money.

Brilliant episode with Allison.

You are doing your listeners a profound disservice broadcasting this deeply ignorant nonsense.

Having Cenk Y. on was a mistake. Letting him assert so many untruths is worse. Please shun the supercilious pseudo intellectuals going forward.

The interview with Cenk was so full of falshoods. Here is what Trump said about the constitution. I wish these blowhards would actually do homework. “The post seemed to be a complete denial of his post from Saturday, which remained online as of Monday afternoon: “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote over the weekend, once again falsely asserting that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.” He was saying that a fraud of an election could destroy the constitution. Not sure why people thought he said he didnt want the constitution. And he didnt want a shutdown of all muslim countries coming into the country. He said he wanted to shut down countries sending in terrorists. There are 5. jeez.

The guest talked like Dems need to wake up and throw the elites out. Then in the next breath says Trump is a threat to democracy and will withdraw from NATO. How badly can she miss the point? Swallowed the TDR and now it’s in the Dem DNA.

Wow!! “Trump is a master manipulator of the desperate and dumb” A another delusion of a dry rotted elite that thinks they know best for the masses.

Trolls. Be careful w the lead. You have agency.

Gross

This podcast is painful to listen to. It is so callous and lacking any sort of human empathy. All I can hear is the generic support of genocide, and as a Palestinian / Lebanese / American, this podcast does not represent our truth. We are finished living under occupation. As the occupier, that is not something that you can reckon with. I wish for this pods failure for the success of humanity.

I’m a conservative southern-state Yank with a house full of Guns and Bibles…but I’m terribly grateful for these guys across the pond. Encouraging to know that the England who gave the world John Locke is still producing free-thinking, honest men like Konstantin and Francis.

I don’t find this guy particularly bright or insightful. Does the British accent make him seem smarter to some ? I don’t get it.

The boys found fame by standing against the “woke” mob and as time went on they’ve subtly edited their definition of woke, having learned a trick or two from their ideological opponents, to mean anything that pushes against their philosophy of Anglo-centric jingoism. What was once a show that interestingly and intelligently discussed controversial issues has transformed into an advertisement for and defense of neoconservatism, which they’ve rebranded (quite wokely) as “the west” or “western values”. I find both hosts to be as uncurious and obstinate as the people they made a name for themselves by criticizing.

Excellent discussion on the problem of approaching immigration as a moral issue, Konstantin. My only quibble is your use of *we*. "We" (that is, the entire set of citizens) are not approaching the problem that way; a subset is approaching it that way, a subset comprising (also imprecisely) those who believe they have a right to tell others what they are allowed to believe and who have the cultural and governmental power to enforce that view and do so by slandering others. The dog-and-cat fracas over the reality in Ohio is the most recent prime example. Governmental elites have even begun to say the once-hidden part outloud, such as Nancy Pelosi asserting to Bill Maher that she wants undocumented immigrants to be documented, the impact on preexisting citizens be damned. I suspect this is a result of decades of globalization (not global free trade but global agreements trade). Western governmental elites have gotten rich engaging in the economies of other countries and have begun to see themselves as global citizens--seeking global government with the zeal of expecting that they will control it.

Too many ads in the middle of the episodes totally disrupt the flow. Unsubscribing. Lex Fridman is the only podcaster who understands this and does it right.

to Konstantin for his equanimity in the face of bad faith smearing right to his actual face. Why? Because I couldn’t do it. Saifedean was truly “possessed” in the manner Jordan Peterson describes in his discussions regarding ideologies. There was a narrative nexus that consumed Mr. Ammous and there were only demons to be exorcised from his opponent. I agree with JP also that an ideology is a crippled version of a religion that won’t stand scrutiny or the test of time. The redeeming feature of this debate? Good lessons can be learned from good and bad examples. Principle: God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick.

Your performance in the debate with the Palestinian was absolutely amazing. The number of times he insulted you with the Zionist NPC was incredulous, yet you kept your cool. Bravo!!! I enjoy all of your shows but that was magnificent.

This has to be the most idiotic comment Ive heard a podcaster make. So many people who are parents shouldn’t be parents and so many have tried to be parents that cannot be. What a moronic, shallow thing to say publicly.

Konstantin, todays episode was really intense. I commend you for going into unfriendly territory for a tough interview. The heart of the issue to me is, the Palestinians like the host who interviewed you, thinks that Oct 7 is necessary to prevent the Israeli government from controlling them; even though in Israel they have the freedom to live just as any other Jew. They can practice their religion, own businesses, and build communities. See the Arab Muslims and Christians who live peacefully and prosperously there in Israel currently. I really wanted you to ask him, what would be so wrong living under the Israeli government? But thank you for shedding light on this and giving the other side a voice on your platform.

KK made this dude look like a bigot.

Bless you for keeping your cool with the Palestinian YouTuber. 💜

If there’s a “highly contagious parasitic brain worm munching away at whatever is left of our sanity… then these two clowns are Exhibits A and B.

Only problem with episode is the length, too short! I figured away around that by listening six times in a row but that presented another issue because it wasn’t funny after about my fourth time through. But all in all it was what you British turds call BRILLIANT!

Thank you Konstantin for the brilliant, pithy, straight to the point unquestionable truth expressed in this episode on political extremism. Triggernometry is balanced truly keeping things real in these indeed interesting times. Substack subscribed. Thank you thank you thank you for what you are doing.

About as insufferable as it gets

This podcast has been in my rotation for a long time, but it’s a dark horse fantastic podcast. Their recent podcast with Piers Morgan was amazing.

What a breath of breath air. Engaging, informative discussion with civility. ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite choices when in the car. Thank you, and please keep it up!

Having discovered this podcast several years ago, I’ve been a reliable American listener. While I’m a life-long Democrat, the shift to the far left of so-called “progressives” has left me stranded and feeling more centrist than anything else. I find the left’s woke ideology and anti-American narratives deeply offensive. Call me a “Bill Maher Democrat.” Hence my interest in this podcast. Although I sensed that “Triggernometry” was often farther right than me, that was fine because the hosts and guests tended to be evidence based and merely right of center in their views. However, lately, the show has become more right-leaning, and therefore less interesting. For me, hosting (providing a platform for) Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat and current trafficker in conspiracy theories, was the last straw. Your show has become just another partisan rag, and thus not worthy of my attention.

Very listenable show with lots of interesting and highly conflicting guests speakers. Not sure why the Norman Finkelstein episode was even aired, he answered none of the questions asked and kept speaking over them if they tried to ask for clarification or remind him what the question was. I know they’re extremely fair to speakers on the other side of the aisle, sometimes even more so than to the people that agree with them but that was just too much for me. They could have tried harder to keep him on track and called out some of the blatant lies and Hamas propaganda he spouted, other than that the other dozen or so episodes I listened to were pretty well put together.

The Tulsi episode was about as far from middle of the road as you could get. Basically no pushback on many of her claims, seeming completely enamored with her the entire episode. It may as well have been a campaign promo for her.

Why lie? Just admit you’re right wing agenda propagandists. I enjoy middle of the road podcasts but this is far from unbiased conversation and interviewing.

The desperation and narcissistic strivings to be right really put Destiny in a unique position of cringe ! The YouTuber reality is deeply sad . Get help!

Biden’s solution for Israel is to pay Iran to kill more Israelis. He capitulates to terrorists.

Prof. Dershowitz and Dr. Gorka were both very interesting to listen to. “Destiny” suffers from advanced TDS.

Ya’ll are more patient than me. Both Israel/Palestine conversations are high blood pressure inducing. One guy doesn’t even want to answer any questions and the other thinks more about a library being destroyed in Palestine than the babies and women being mutilated and murdered in Israel. Neither men has anything of substance to say about Palestine because there is no defense of them. All they want is Israel gone.

Re: Norman Finkelstein You Guys were amazingly patient and gracious. This man went on and on without giving answers to your questions over and over again. Bringing up a 100 + year old event to justify Oct 7th. Sadly, This man has no credibility.

Two poorly informed right wingers presenting as moderate centrist. Fine if you know where they are going from, but don’t fall for the brave truth teller nonsense. They are political hacks with a very obvious agenda. Also tons of misinformation and guest allowed to spew nonsense unchallenged because the host don’t know any better.
