Suitability GARM Brand Safety Floor + Suitability
Discussions of wars, jihad and empire (e.g. 'Global Jihad: 9/11 at 25') carry violence and political content; the show is explicitly political.
We classify content, never people. No age, gender, ethnicity, religion or political views are inferred about the creator. Audience figures are estimates unless marked verified. Creators can correct anything on their profile.
