Indicating he knows his audience won't be in favour (indeed a lot of the rumble comments reach for 'leftist' 'commie' 'marxist' smears and object most strongly to Hedges' use of the phrase 'christian fascism'). He references people who he's 'had on the show' taking a 'contrary position' a number of times and mentions a number of zionist talking points that RFK has made, eg: Hamas being dedicated to the destruction of Israel, 'from the river to the sea' being a genocidal chant, selective criticism of Israel being antisemitic etc. but there was also this part where he states his own opinion of what he apparently believes happened on October 7th:
