Episode titles include references to a public execution and a murderer, and the description cites pro-life and political topics such as Idaho Pro-Life Update, so the show is flagged for medium violence and political content.
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.
