I think a lot of people see me as talk radio that's always on, but with a Zoomer slash millennial focus rather than anything else. It's not that unique. I'm not necessarily reinventing the wheel here. I think it's just like a guy that you can have in the background while you're doing your chores and you stay up to date.

I mean, I call myself a leftist, definitely an anti-imperialist. I think I am, I mean, I'm anti-war. I believe that we should not spend so much money on 800 military bases overseas and constantly bombing some of the poorest countries on the planet. And we should instead spend it on infrastructure, jobs programs, and expansion of the welfare state.
