    Stephen Fry
    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.

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

    Wow
    Brilliant episode with Allison.
  • angrylf
    How did this show happen?
    How did these guys get to think they have anything to say? How does anyone take them seriously? How can they be so gullible ? Really truly silly stuff. Don’t waste your time.

    Uygur
    Did not give any definition of Fascism during entire conversation. A Leftist in moderates clothing Did Uygur call for Joe Biden to step down at anytime in first 3 years. I despise when individual ends a statement with the word right. Annoying,right Best Bruce / Grand Rapids,MI.

    Cenk is a rude, ignorant spreader of lies.
    You are doing your listeners a profound disservice broadcasting this deeply ignorant nonsense.
  • rdcu8mbdt
    Too much leeway to stupid guests
    Having Cenk Y. on was a mistake. Letting him assert so many untruths is worse. Please shun the supercilious pseudo intellectuals going forward.
  • Liza182
    Cenk is delusional
    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.

    She didn’t learn a thing.
    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.

    You lost me at however
    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.
  • SDCoile
    Courage, candor, and rightly funny.
    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.
  • RapidRob914
    Not particularity bright or insightful
    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.

    Jaws Without Teeth
    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.
  • Silly Leslie
    There's a problem with using *We*
    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.
  • Unbearable advertisements
    Ads ruin the flow
    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.

    I’m Kissin up…
    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.
  • JackPeters2000
    Calm
    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.
  • PammieJB
    Parents Get a Plus
    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.
  • RAD-_-lexa
    Phew…
    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.
  • cjhgb
    Wow that interview between KK and Saifedean
    KK made this dude look like a bigot.

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

    Exhibits A and B
    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.
  • VinnyDees
    That made me laugh
    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!

    political extremism - Bonus episode
    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.

    Deep conversations + good humor = stellar podcasts
    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.
  • RCest
    Something for EVERYONE
    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!

    The quality of this podcast has declined; proof: Tulsi Gabbard
    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.

    Mostly Great
    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.
  • bedbath&beyond
    Tulsi episode
    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.
  • Mother of She-Dragons
    Misinformation overload
    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.
  • Strider Storm

    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!
  • kenhagen
    Biden
    Biden’s solution for Israel is to pay Iran to kill more Israelis. He capitulates to terrorists.
  • WildWeasel24
    Two great conversations
    Prof. Dershowitz and Dr. Gorka were both very interesting to listen to. “Destiny” suffers from advanced TDS.
  • Rewards are great
    Great show
    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.
  • Shar/Jer
    Love you show
    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.
  • lazurwolf
    Disingenuous
    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.
  • oksweetdude27
    Russian Revolution
    I enjoyed the Russian Revolution episode but when it got to current events, the guest was so misinformed, I now have to go back and check every historical fact he asserted.

    Jimmy Carr ep talking about American politics just awful
    Please don’t speak about things that you know nothing or very little about. To say that America should pay for reparations but it’s too complicated and so instead, since we have the resources, we should give the world 6 weeks to unslave the currently 14 million enslaved around the world, this is just ignorant. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be comedy or what but here’s some comedy for ya — the people that brought slaves to America were none other than your own people, the English. So maybe England should also pay reparations for those whose ancestors were brought to America as slaves, if they would like to continue to have America as an ally… and we will give you 6 weeks to pay up. Secondly, to say we have the resources it just blatantly false and makes me think you’re not paying attention to what’s going on in the world at all. Inflation is still high, we are funding 2 wars and the list goes on. Just hard to listen to a podcast that I used to like and then to listen to this episode to just hear nonsense with zero understanding of what’s currently happening in our country. I thought you guys were actually more in touch with what’s happening in the ground, but seems more like you’re podcasting looking down from another planet.

    Gideon’s TDS is showing from all the way across the pond
    Refuse to even consider an uppity self important foreigner’s opinion on who should lead the USA. Trump, like many effective leaders throughout world history is imperfect, but as a patriotic American who values our sovereignty, liberties and freedoms guaranteed by a constitution that is revered rather than trampled (like our current venal house plant of a president, who is being controlled by the corrupt deep state and famous control freak community organizers and self-identifying stolen election survivers of the recent past), I resent any non American opiner spewing his Trump hatred in accusatory and self righteous tones. I turned off the episode and will unfolllow triggernometey. Realize please that WELL over half of the voting USA appreciates and will vote for Trump with the good of the country and the world in mind. After his first term, the remnant who pay attention have all learned that having a patriotic, brilliant business mind at the helm who knows that fear and uncertainty in our enemies hearts and minds means safety for Americans and is a net positive. Gideon and his ilk don’t need to fry their brains trying to understand. Bless his heart.

    Great content always!
    Your recent podcast discussing corporate farming always brings up questions. Naturally I’m for humane treatment of farm animals. I always wonder if we stop consuming those animals would they become extinct?
  • Different_Drummer
    Leans to the right … not moderate
    Episode with Victor Hanson was “interesting”. Said some insightful things about the positives of Trump, but excercised some very selective thinking about the negative side. Episodes like this that make me think this podcast is quite a bit to the right of center. Hosts are too agreeable, I would appreciate them challenging the guests a bit.
