1. Climate change isn’t going away - do better! - I’m a Crooked Media fan, but the last year or so I’ve been so incredibly disappointed, and honestly embarrassed, by their terrible ability to report on climate change. There have been a number of instances of inaccurate reporting on things related to climate — so blatantly misrepresented that it was clear they read one headline and that was it. Also, the Pod Save guys can barely talk climate. It’s like their one blind spot. Their episodes around the IRA etc were downright cringy. And now we’re learning that they squashed Hot Take? I’m so disappointed and honestly just don’t get it. Climate change is only getting worse and it’s not going away. So why wouldn’t Crooked try to get better at reporting on it and even motivate individuals to act (like they have on so many other pressing issues)? Incredibly disappointing to learn about this side of their business. Truly thought they were the “good guys” if you will. But it seems like it is just all politics with this company.

2. They destroyed Hot Take - Can’t even begin to state how DISGUSTED I am by the people behind this podcast. They bought another podcast—Hot Take—which was already popular and loved. Then they canceled it and refused to give the feed back to the shows original owners. Smh. You can’t claim to care about progressive issues then cancel a climate podcast hosted by two women of color!!

3. Milk shots and the WI State Supreme Court race - OMG, this was a fantastic episode and as a WI resident and avid volunteer w/ WISDEMS, I shared this everywhere on Social media plus, I learned a few impt. deets too. THIS RACE IS CRUCIAL. I appreciated how specific you were as to WHY this is & put in perspective for me how much further WI is in not only a swing state but we could be considered ground zero as a battleground state for . We NEED to take back democracy here, and this is our one shot to do it & we won’t get this opportunity again for quite some time. So THANK YOU for doing this episode LIVE from Madison, WI as it was an informative as well as entertaining podcast. Special thanks to Ben Wikler and Mandela Barnes too!!

4. Fascist Right - it’s time - I am woke - Awake, educated and aware - the Fascist right are a danger to the world and its time to call it by what it is - not MAGA - this is FASCISM - pure and simple - the Fascist Right in your country is a major problem with its leader residing in Fascist Florida - call it out

5. Used to love you… - BUT the rabid ageism and unrelenting snarkiness of you pol buddy Jon Lovett is turning me off - and so, one turn deserves the other. I mean, if you substitute “gay” “black” or “fat” for every time JL mentions Biden’s age you’ll see what I mean. Just hope you never get “gayer” Lovett. (Substitute with the tag that offends you most).

6. Thorough analysis of topical political issues - Appreciation the in depth review of current political issues, both serious and humorous. The hosts are knowledgeable and engaging, providing thoughtful analysis and advice which has helped me become a better informed and more engaged voter. Great stuff!

7. / Episode - disappointed by the whole “social awkwardness attacks” - I love the show and look forward to each new episode on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I was a bit triggered today by the shots taken at Ron DeSantis’s voice and social awkwardness. I hate and fear the guy, what he is doing to Florida, and what he could do to America if he was elected president. But, to quote a comment I recently saw on YouTube about a piece on Ron DeSantis, “Whether it’s in a political setting or not, these designations of someone being a "weirdo" because they are socially awkward is kind of demeaning to every "weirdo" that is not an authoritarian piece of trash.” You get the idea. There are a lot of people who are not comfortable with social interaction, including people with Asperger’s and autism. That doesn’t make them despicable, doesn’t mean they hate human interaction, and doesn’t make them deserving of judgement and/or mockery. You guys are better than that. Now, if you guys want to say DeSantis hates people and provide examples that justify your claim and that show people why this is scary, that’s another story. And I don’t see any problem with commenting on how social awkwardness might be a con for when it comes to winning electors during a presidential campaign. It’s a reality - although I would argue that for all his charisma, Donald Trump is really socially awkward and that didn’t prevent him from winning in . But hitting on the mere social awkwardness aspect is a road you should not take. On an another note: THANK YOU for your discussion on the oil drillings recent decisions. I appreciated your analysis. I wish Joe Biden had people from his government discussing this decision and explaining it during interviews, etc. (even if he doesn’t necessarily need or want to disclose all the ins and outs). It would help fellow Democrats understand this decision and feel less betrayed. I also appreciated your comments about how not everything is about politics. It infuriates me to hear every decision made by politicians discussed through the lense of “politics” over and over in the media. This just reinforces the notion that politicians are making decisions just for optics and to be reelected. How about belief, conviction, and, as you explained here, pragmatism? Keep up the great work!
2023-03-17

8. Why analyze their campaigns in depth? - While we do need to hear news regarding what the Republican Party is doing, why spend SO much time advising Desantis and Trump on how to better run their campaigns? Could we please hear more about what WE should be and are doing to be successful (and opinion about what we’re doing wrong)? Maybe more discussion about the philosophy and history of the Democratic and Republican Parties and how/why they are evolving? I value your collective experience, intelligence, and sincere concern about our country.

WAR ROOM with Stephen K. Bannon.

Release date: 2023-03-24

Comments

1. Best show in the USA! - I don't know where we'd be in this fight against corruption and communist takeover of it weren't for Steve Bannon and his highly intellectual guests! This is the best show in USA! You will leave more intelligent after every single show. stars aren't near enough. I give WarRoom Pandemic and Battleground stars.
2023-03-23

2. My Favorite Podcast - Episode Great show again! The reason they hate Trump so much is that he know the inner workings of their schemes and is about the only one who could stop them. Stop the Con Games of the left, from the Vaccines to the ever changing Climate Change Fear Narrative; it’s all aBig Con!
2023-03-22

3. Want to save America? Listen - War Room is not for those who want to sit on the couch and yell at the tv. War Room is for the Patriots who want to FIX what’s wrong with America. You must listen & take notes. And you must get up off your butt and work. The knowledge is great; and it’s all free. You won’t find a better place to find real news, sometimes months & weeks in advance. It’s my go to information spot.
2023-03-21

4. Not for the Faint of Heart - An alternative to “State Media”. If you satisfied with the status quo, move on. This presentation challenges that narrative. It’s like a firehouse of ice cold water every morning. You’ll be uncomfortable and distressed at times, but motivated to stop “farming out your civic responsibility”. Our current government reflects our efforts.
2023-03-19

5. Thank you Warroom! - I began watching/listening to Warroom just after the big steal… YES, the STOLEN Presidential election on , November . I, Like most who aren’t stupid, realize that we are under siege by our own government, being fed lies daily by them as well as the fake news media. The only “BIG LIE” is the FACT that Biden is illegitimately installed. Our founders are screaming at us all from the Heavens in utter disbelief. Thank God for Steve Bannon and the Warroom posse. They (along with a couple other conservative podcasts) have been my only links to sanity throughout this dystopian nightmare that we have all been put through. We have been in the twilight zone for well over years now.
2023-03-15

6. Tess - I don’t know what we would’ve done if Warroom had not been waiting in the wings when the election was stolen and Fox went ‘full Stepford Wives’ //. I had solely followed Fox for years. But I could see about . years before the steal, they were ‘done’. I started watching Warroom sometime in early . Steve’s guests have become trusted resources for me, with the exception of a few that have proven to have dubious ambitions. But, hey, being on Warroom will sift through those thugs and Warroom’s savvy posse will hold them to account. God bless you, Steve Bannon and Warroom. You are more than a lifeline than you may ever know.

7. Keeping us in the room - A slew of information about today tied with a history lesson. Theres always a great variety of topics, different analysis from common sense people, most have been silenced yet have been proven right over and over again. Giving a voice to the voiceless! Always keeping the regular person in the room. Always supporting MAGA and always encouraging We the People to stay in the room! Action! Action! Action!
2023-03-10

8. WarRoom - The show that educates & engages the audience! - As a person who’s been following and analyzing politics for over years, there has never been a show like “war room” with Steve Bannon. This show separates the signal from the noise, while providing its audience with the nomenclature, statics, dynamics and critical path. By doing so the audience receives the tools they need to become ACTIVE & ENGAGED in the political process! Forget everything you’ve watched or listened to thus far… make the switch to War Room - to put yourself ahead of the curve immediately. I’ve recommended this show to hundreds of folks - and every time I do - they are amazed at the difference! It’s time to get yourself properly informed, and become a member of the “War Room Posse”. Hope to see you soon!

Candace Owens holds nothing back in her brand new show as she takes on the political and cultural issues of the day. Featuring deep dives, investigations and exposés on today’s burning topics. Listen to CANDACE OWENS Monday through Friday at 3 PM ET / 2 PM CT.

Release date: 2023-03-23

Comments

1. Liked Candace, but leaving for the mean girl antics - I used to really like Candace. I liked her different takes, I liked that she didn’t give up on stories. She talked about the hard issues. I looked up to her that she’s a mom and grows her own food, and cooks, and is conservative. But lately, idk if it’s because I’ve recently healed from some bitterness, she has seemed really bitter. She’s been doing the mean girl thing too much, and the mocking voices are like nails on a chalkboard. Like when she does the baby voice, whiny voice, LA girl voice, or just out right mocking people or doing a voice, I can’t stand it. I am embarrassed for her. I’m embarrassed if my husband or somebody walks in on me listening to this podcast when she is doing that because their first reaction is “what the heck is that?! Shut it off! She sounds like a banshee.” So Candace I hope you take this criticism as constructive because I do like your takes, but I don’t like this mocking attitude or the imitating voices you’ve been doing.
2023-03-22

2. Kept Me Alive - I would not have survived university without Candace and (to a smaller degree) the rest of the Daily Wire commentators. She kept me sane and even if I do not always agree with her (which is not very often but does happen ) she makes very good points, backs up what she is saying and always makes it very clear that you do not have to agree with her when she describes some of the choices she has made in her life for herself and her family. Thanks to her, I survived woke indoctrination attempts. God bless her!!!
2023-03-18

3. Russia and US. - I don’t think you have ever seen a Russian bear fly over your home. Nor do understand the concept of said warfare. I was on at least carriers where that bomber flew low and slow over us. The constant fear of their subs. Then the most crazy thing was during the South Korean Armistice celebration was literally a carrier killer from Russia parked at the same pier as my carrier. So I don’t think you understand the military nor the high seas. The world is mostly water so…I enjoy your comments for the most part but the military thing is by far the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard from a civilian’s face hole. Still gonna listen but you def need a lil more experience bout military things. We do need to stop giving our assets n money away but please read and understand a bit more military stuff…
2023-03-16

4. Great stuff ! Love me some Candace - Hey i wish i could have a chat with Candace!. Welcome to being . The reflection on the zeitgeist starts. Wow - listening now. .. did she just subtly suggest that some Americans are dealing with Stockholm syndrome? “Race to the bottom”? So many interesting ideas about things that some of us can’t say or get labeled. Regardless of color or race (im from the ‘’s, we weren’t concerned with those things. We had moved past all that primeval thinking) she’s got a lot of wisdom for a youngster. Candace - if you see this, reach out. Drop a line sometime I’d love to converse!
2023-03-11

5. Excellent Podcast - Candace, I admit,at first,I was listening to you and thought I could continue or just unsubscribe you.As I listened to more each day,I was convinced you are a person who has morals of yourself and don’t waiver.I like that about you and now your podcast is my absolute favorite.Keep up the good work and just shoot towards your values.It won’t be easy and you are going to hit some potholes but if you really put thought in your moves before you pursued them,you are good and sometimes if things don’t go your way,well don’t think you did wrong and are going to change.You are a good person and so is Matt Walsh.
2023-03-09

6. Facts - Love your podcast Candace. Please get your facts straight before speaking. A lot of the things you said about Murdaugh were factually untrue, and I don’t want that to give fodder for mean media. I just want the best for you. My parents saw you speak in Montgomery, AL and we are all big fans.
2023-03-04

7. I used to be a fan of her show. Now… not so much. - I don’t know what has happened to Candace. When I would listen to her, I used to think she was articulate and she would keep her composure while expressing her opinion. She once had a classy demeanor but, now she is the complete opposite. She has become utterly obnoxious, arrogant, hypocritical, bigoted and just a total bully. To me, her voice has become similar to the sound of nails on a chalk board. She’s that naggy and complaining Karen. It is very unfortunate that I have lost interest in her podcast. She was really going places at first but, now it’s just a never ending cycle of negativity that she creates.
2023-03-02

8. Worth the listen no matter your political beliefs. - I started listening to Candace Owens recently, coincidentally around the same time I listened to Andrew Tate. It started as just wanting to listen to something controversial that I wouldn’t necessarily agree with. Then I realized I actually see a lot of great points. For me it’s worth listening because I am able to agree with the common sense points that are so well articulated that seem to be lost on society now with woke culture while still being able to stay true to my beliefs. I like my beliefs to be challenged, if I can’t rebut it then I could possibly be wrong and that’s what this podcast has done for me.

1. Urgent yet informal. Passionate and fun. - It’s so easy to be angry and divided in a time of crisis. This podcast seeks solutions. Entertaining and informative, “Let’s Find Common Ground” seeks out points of agreement among leaders in public life. This podcast helps show how passionate and civil debate can enable us to make progress, and provide illuminating insight on important issues. Let’s get in the same room and discuss what’s dividing us...

Steven Crowder brings you news, entertainment and politics with the most politically incorrect show on the web. Guests, rants, sketches, your calls ... it's whatever.

Release date: 2023-03-23

Comments

1. Informative and Funny - So glad the show is back. So far the new rotation of guests is great. Make the switch to Rumble like this show did. These guys work hard at providing real, true news and talk about funny. I actually do laugh out loud. Steven and the gang speak the truth, and we can be pretty certain of it because the big tech censors wouldn’t let them say it if it wasn’t (but big tech still tries because they HATE real news and real reporting AND TRUTH that doesn’t match their political and ideological leanings). Keep it up Louder with Crowder! Truth is strength!
2023-03-23

2. Just not here for the drama - I’m having a hard time getting over what SC did to the daily wire. No remorse. I used to be a MC member and considered joining up again. But I cringe every time I see anything from Crowder right now. Really low stuff he did to Jeremy and damage to the conservative movement. Maybe I’ll come around again after awhile, but I doubt it.
2023-03-20

3. Apparently he’s a crybaby - Crowder got mad he wasn’t offered the money he thought he was worth, so he attacked the one big company making not only a political difference but also a huge cultural difference. Crowder and the DW go about things differently. That’s fine. What’s not fine is saying the company that sued the Biden Admin over the vac, released What is a Woman, took down Vanderbilts gender clinic, etc etc, is worse then the Left. Crowder has turned out to be selfish, full of false virtue, and a horrible friend. Update: Matt Walsh and DW have been getting transgender surgery for minors outlawed across the country, while Crowder does literally nothing.
2023-03-02

4. Divided we fall - Regardless of who is “wrong or right” in this.. wether DW outed themselves or not.. publicly attacking your ally because you think your way is better is a dk move. In fact that’s the exact tactic of the people we stand against. This fight is hard enough without us turning against each other yet that’s what you’ve accomplished.
2023-02-10

5. Emotional Mess - Whether he’s whining about how Megyn Kelly didn’t remember him one time or he’s whining about how media outlets aren’t offering him the moon while betraying friendships, he just isn’t an attractive personality. He’s not funny enough to outweigh the victim-identity narcissism. If you’re the biggest thing since Joe Rogan, you could act with a little more maturity and grace.
2023-02-07

6. Disappointed! - It’s fine to voice grievances over business practices and contract provisions. It’s a whole other thing to try and trap your friends on a phone call to win a pissing contest. Congratulations, you just backed yourself into a corner to where the ONLY option is to go it alone because I don’t know any sane person that would ever trust you. I also hate this argument that DW is all in it for the money and doesn’t stand on principle. I don’t remember Crowder or the Blaze staking everything to fight the vaxx mandate in court? Outside of change my mind and standup, what else has Crowder done to offer entertainment alternatives for conservatives? Finally, what safe space has Crowder offered people that are canceled from the mainstream for being conservative? Crowder, you’re best option is to apologize to Ben and crew and move on because that’s your best and only chance to win back any respect from me.
2023-02-06

7. It was unnecessary. - I understand why Crowder was upset with DW and he has a right to be, but his behavior in that situation has made me lose some respect for him. He could have just started his own network without the drama and his fans would have undoubtedly supported it. I don’t see why he felt the need to jumpstart it by setting a trap for someone he called a friend. I would’ve thought something like that was beneath him.
2023-02-01

8. Questionable character!!! - What you’ve done is beyond low!!! No only is your ego so big that you think you’ve been wronged. On top of that you make sure to make us think that you don’t care about the money. You do, that’s why you were willing to take the conditions if they paid you M instead of the M. Your character has shown us you’re not to be trusted. You are just an actor who wants to manipulate people.

Comments

1. Grateful - Someplace that’s fun, informative and rational for my news. I used to watch Charlie Sykes on MSNBC. As a Democrat, I grew weary of TV news and the constant ‘sky is falling’ and outrage at everything. I wanted a more balanced debate and centered view. I found this podcast and now listen to many of the Bulwark podcasts instead of TV news. I often find great articles from guests and journalists that Charlie and crew follow.
2023-03-21

2. Must Listen If You Care About Our Democracy - I’ve been a regular listener for awhile now. As a Centrist Democrat, I wasn’t sure if this would be the right podcast for me. It is! While I don’t always agree with the hosts, their sincere and heartfelt regard for what this country is truly about and why it’s worth fighting for is a hopeful beacon on the hill. Join! Join now! I have Bulwark and have learned much about our current state of politics and why it matters. My thanks to all the Bulwark staff for their courage. (P.S. They have fun, too! They’ll keep you on your toes. )

3. It’s Time - Forget MAGA - the Fascist right is exposed through it’s Fascist leader residing in Fascist Florida calling for violence- call it out. Who am I? I am woke - awake, educated and aware! Who is he? He is a dangerous Fascist leader who will burn it down given the opportunity - don’t give him oxygen - move now
2023-03-20

4. Love this show! Best political analysis of current issues l. - I subscribe to quite a few podcasts, but this is the podcast I listen to first. I might not agree with all of Charlie and Tim’s position, but I respect their intelligence, and TRUTHFULNESS! Charlie asks engaging questions, and really listens to his guests. Tim’s former job as a political consultant and communications director brings an interesting perspective to his analysis of current issues. Miller is fearless- I’m thinking of his Kari lake interview: scary and funny. I now subscribe to several Bulwark related podcasts- I have become a Charlie Sykes and Tim Miller junkie.
2023-03-19

5. Tim and Charlie - This is the only podcast I listen to every single day. Friday is my favorite as I enjoy TM take on the state of our politics. I have never voted for a republican but appreciate both sides of an issue as long as it is honest. Did I mention I live in Florida? We need some normalcy desperately right now. Thanks guys.
2023-03-17

6. More of the same - I wish all deserving parties would be dragged equally. In the podcast I listened to Trump (who isn’t President anymore and has no bearing on what is happening right now) was mentioned about a hundred times. Biden was referenced twice. I am a Dem who is a moderate. This is “non-partisan” Libertarian point of view? I hear no difference between this and MSNBC. These guys sure sound smart though. If someone touts their own educational and professional experience you always know there is no bias in what they are about to say next.
2023-03-16

7. My new favorite podcast! - I’ve known about Charlie Sykes for decades, given his long history on talk radio here in our mutual state of WI. We’ve been on opposite sides politically so admittedly I didn’t catch those days on talk radio. But I’ve been so very impressed with Charlie-first on MSNBC over the last few years and now with this podcast. I appreciate his perspective on various topics, even if or especially if it’s coming more from his Conservative, Republican POV. I consider him an important voice re: our threats to democracy, our concerns here in WI and so much more. I also enjoy the guests, as well as the banter between he and Tim Miller. Love the sense of humor and yes….the swearing!
2023-03-15

8. Funny, Smart, Always Insightful - This podcast is highly addictive. I recommend it to anyone interested in current events, perspectives across party lines, exploration of what has happened to the American right, and a serious commitment to swearing. Charlie Sykes is such a funny, smart delight. He was a decades long republican, his memory excellent, and he brings the receipts.

1. Shocked by March episode - This was not a journalistic political commentary and/or analysis. It was a display of resentful judgement on the part of Washington D.C.’s residents and statehood supporters that totally lacked impartiality. I support Washington D.C’s statehood claim, but the comments made in this episode were beyond professionalism. I was shocked by the bias in the title and then in the entire segment. Why would one assume that President Biden’s decision was for political gain? The commentators themselves mention how Joe Biden’s decision was consistent with a position and beliefs he has held for decades. So, why would it not have been guided by principles, precisely? In fact, it seems to me that two principles - Washington D.C.’s residents right to safety and protection, and the right if these residents to self-governance - were in conflict here. The fact that one won over the other (a fact that clearly did not please the presenters) far from warrants accusations of political calculations on the part of Joe Biden, and potentially other democrats. A jewel from today’s show: “Democratic voters are less left than a lot of people think they are. They want their community to be safe from crime just like everybody else.” This was supposed to be a condemnation from the speaker’s part. Do you hear yourself? Who doesn’t want to be safe? I am very much on the left, socially and economically, but to me this entire episode was appalling. I felt I was hearing bitter citizens airing their grievances as D.C.’s residents rather than professional political commentators. This is not what I expect from public radio. I would provide two suggestions: - Advocate and lobby for D.C.’s statehood. I entirely support this, it would only be fair - but outside of this platform, on your own time, and in an other capacity. Not in one where you are supposed to maintain a minimum of professional impartiality. - if two points in an otherwise good law are controversial (and I do find these points problematic), change them! And the law will pass.

2. Plus subscriptions frustrating - I’ve always enjoyed this podcast, but the introduction of the paid plus subscriptions was frustrating. I understand that people need to keep businesses afloat, but what is happening to my contributions to NPR? I don’t feel that it is right for people already choosing to contribute to NPR not being able access to these subscriptions or then feeling guilted that they have to give more to be granted content. It seems to me that NPR has become more of a cash grab recently and it is definitely making it frustrating for us long time listeners and supporters.
2023-03-05

3. Good overall - Susan Davis gets stuff wrong, she tried to frame the lab leak theory as some kind of right vs left issue and claimed scientists dismissed it out of hand. The scientific community has never dismissed it, and this is only a political issue because people like her are dragging it through that lens. NPR is supposed to be better. Most of the journalists are better, though, hence the high review.
2023-02-28

4. Quality and content on a downward slope - Gone are the days of nuanced reporting and adept insights into American politics. You can look forward to a brief overview of major news, fairly mainstream takes, and at least a third of the show dedicated to nothing political. Seems to follow NPR’s downward trend since the mid ’s. I still occasionally listen, and today I saw paid subscriptions and private content. I guess the cycle is complete.
2023-02-03

5. Used to Listen - Got tired of the light-weight coverage. Back in the s and early s, NPR was unique with their in-depth balanced coverage. But in the last decade or two they’ve gradually watered down their approach more and more. Other podcasts have upped their game. NPR Politics is now a rd rate source. I don’t learn anything new. The Bulwark is not a right wing news site. It is center right/left never-Trump news site.
2023-01-29

6. Danielle Wins Forever - I have been listening for years, as I can no longer live in the news cycle all day every day but still want to be informed. Can’t Let It Go is not usually my favorite, but Danielle and the crew changed that with the amazing moments of humor and reflection of real colleagues sharing a laugh this week. This whole crew is the best. Thanks for getting us through the past few years with your tireless work.
2023-01-29

7. Subscription Spam won’t allow it deletion - I get, you want to make more money. But don’t annoy the rest of us that don’t need the extra content. These subscriptions podcasts that cannot be deleted are only reminding us that we may need to seek a new content provider. Find a way to allow us to delete them or expire them please.
2023-01-06

8. Mara - Hi Mara! Why don’t you hide your distain for Bernie and progressives a bit better? You openly and knowingly misinterpret what he says; and honestly, this nation won’t get what we need done until the TWO CORPORATE DEMOCRATS get voted out. That does not mean he does not support Biden and his agenda. Go work for CNN or FOX.

1. A true mixed bag - I’m a fellow populist and I love the domestic discussions but the hosts talk about foreign policy it’s clear they know nothing they didn’t learn from Glenn Greenwald. The recent discussion about Ukraine has been ahistorical and knee jerk. In spite of being wrong over and over they never question the premises they put forward. I also could live without the ageism by Saajar who seems to think everyone over is an elderly idiot. Best labor coverage by a non labor podcast.which I love

2. Stretched middle. Yuck. - Was a big fan of this pod because I’m part of the “common sense” political party (that’s what I call being able to see both sides of an argument) and this show offered that. However, it continues to get pulled in a specific direction, further from the middle, with each guest and Krystal getting emotional everytime she doesn’t like the convo and can never “lose” a point. Saagar is a true professional and makes valid points on both sides which I can learn and appreciate. Counter points is pure trash. Sometimes don’t listen during the week because I don’t want to get lost in that garbage. Saagar- start your own pod with guests of you choice from both sides. Let K and counterpoints turn into every other outlet.

3. Hard Pass- Not balanced at all - This was a good podcast at the beginning. It is billed as a balanced discussion between a center left and center right hosts. Could not be farther from the truth. The only thing that they cover with any competency is the media and how terrible the mainstream media is. This is their lane, IMO. Just skip over the economic and financial sections. They need to take a couple classes at the local community college to get a basic understanding of how financial markets and the economy works. Whenever a Democrat or left leaning public figure does something terrible Krystal must always bring up some Republican that did something “similar” and completely shift the focus away from the original person. Krystal’s overriding take is that unions will solve all the ills of the country. Just stop. She is just a far left lackey for the union industrial complex. Absolutely unbearable at this point. And Saagar is just a lap dog for whatever Krystal believes. Saagar please stand up for yourself. All the sources and guests are from far left outlets- maybe have a conservative guest once a month to balance out the groupthink. I was hoping for some different perspective with this but it’s just a far left Bernie Sanders campaign flyer dressed up as a podcast.

4. Hmm - Let me start by telling you how much I love this show. It’s refreshing to see people from across the aisle discussing their different opinions. But as the show has progressed it seems like they sort of keep repeating themselves. Also I realised that when they talk about topics that I am an expert on like Energy, Supply Chain etc that they are not experts at all and that sometimes they too have a flawed understanding of how things work. But I hope that they continue to have conversations with people who are experts and learn and grow. I don’t watch CNN and Fox News because I don’t care about what they have to say, but unfortunately it seems like the host don’t miss an opportunity to diss on MSM, they need to grow out of the mindset that anyone who listens to this show actually cares about MSNBC, CNN and Fox. PS: Ryan is Fantastic!!

5. Sound levels a bit low recently - I love this show, stars! However, as of late your sound levels have been a bit low. I have to boost the volume to hear you at an audible level as of late. I’ve tested out the levels of other podcasts and it’s defiantly this show which has dropped off sound level wise. Still giving a star rating though because breaking points is providing a very important public service at the moment. Thank you very much! Just boost the sound levels a bit;)

6. It has become solid again Saagar finds his voice - They listened to their fans and adjusted the show. It is much more of a discussion and back and forth between Saagar and Krystal rather than the Krystal bashes all things conservative and often religious show with an occasional comment from her sidekick. Krystal has toned down the aggressiveness. She is now pleasant to follow. Saagar is fabulous. I love the discussions. They are thoughtful and the news is great. They do need to work harder to present more religious and conservative thinkers, community and charity workers etc.,. Emily Jashinsky is a great add. She does need to actually speak her conservative viewpoints rather than hint at them. She is presumably there to help the show hear from a conservative who is also religious—Saagar is more of a moderate slightly right or maybe slightly left of center (he’s conservative when compared to a progressive). It would be nice to actually hear what she thinks. On the Federalist podcast she clearly articulates her positions.

7. Used to like it but not anymore - I used to love listening to this show because of the well rounded information in each topic. I hated that I couldn’t get real information from fox and cnn so it was great! Unfortunately this is just turning into more of the same, it’s shocking the anti-Israel propaganda. As an American-Israeli, someone who was born there, traveled there, has family there, that the amount of false narratives and propaganda that is presented by Krystal is just utterly shocking. I also find it concerning on issues involving the Middle East that there has yet been an Israeli person to be interviewed. Also two non-Jewish people are making comments on what is and is not antisemitism seems to be quite unethical, no? Also, if you are having trouble finding people to interview, Krystal, I can give you some great recommendations of experts on this topic since you all are clearly very very uneducated on this topic and yet feel so compelled to report on it. Bassem Eid - a Palestinian human rights activist, political expert and that has travelled all over the world giving lectures on this topic, also known critic of the BDS movement due to the harm it does to Palestinians in the Middle East and Jews on campuses everywhere. Yoseph Hadad, an Arab Israeli journalist and news reporter, also travelled all over giving lectures on this topic. Emily Schrader, Jewish American journalist, specializing in Middle Eastern relations.

8. The center lives! - I love that this show is actually balanced and doesn’t give preferential treatment to the left or the right. It’s refreshing to hear objective analysis of current events that doesn’t feel manipulative. Highly recommend this show for anyone who doesn’t want to be in an echo chamber.

Comments

1. One big money maker aparantly - Loved the original podcast. Before it caught fire and became one paid Ad after another. Feel like I’m hitting fast forward more than actually listening anymore. Truth be known it’s super frustrating that Ted is so greedy. Got to Unfollow before he loses my vote for senate in Texas.
2023-03-24

2. Conservative - I’m about to be years old in April and I’ve never in my whole entire life seen anything as ridiculous as this!!!!!! It’s unbelievable how the government of what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world has turned into a pool of iniquity. The Devil is controlling the left. You hear????? I SAID THE DEVIL IS CONTROLLING THE DEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!
2023-03-21

3. Cruz spend more time podcasting than in the senate! - The phony who went to Princeton spends more time online than doing the job for the people who pay his senate salary. Cruz has always been a phony. His study group in law school could only include people who attended an Ivy League as an undergrad. When people get to know him they actually despise him, so the podcast is an extension of his arrogance and his pretentiousness. episode was One too many! Who listens to this windbag who couldn’t even support his wife? As PT Barnum said- There’s a sucker born…, and anybody who gives Cruz any credence should just walk around with a sign on their body: fleece me!

4. FDIC Fed Reserve - Why is DC with Taxpayer Money going beyond $, FDIC Insurance?? It’s already under water and can’t fund debits now!! Funny California Entity which had Crypto Drag on balance sheet, and must be tied into FTX Sam Bankman-Fried scandal never really resolved!! Follow the money to Pellosi’s Diatrict and Maxine Waters ever pay bank her minority Bank loan $ million from last upheaval? NO No and again the Taxpayers get screwed by Washington and Crony Ciminals.
2023-03-13

5. TOO MANY ADS! - I use to love this show just bc I was getting good quality information but it’s starting to get tainted and leave a sour taste in my mouth when there’s an ad every mins. It’s getting ridiculous. The newest episode there was literally ads in a row. Stop already I didn’t subscribe to listen to ads half the episode interrupting all the time! Cut the ads down and you’ll get a star from me
2023-03-13

6. Removed a Star for Audio Quality - Concise, entertaining, and substantive with incredible guest stars bringing updates from inside the Capitol. Update: audio quality has dropped significantly since Michael Knowles left the show. Sen Cruz’ microphone buzzes regularly and sounds like a cheap laptop mic compared to the former studio quality of the show which is almost as obnoxious as Ben’s laugh.
2023-03-10

7. key points - For two years, we’ve heard about the disaster at our southern border. We continually hear about Joe Biden being a weak president. If he’s so weak, why can’t you and other members of the senate and house stop the southern border disaster. Does he really have that much power? Americans are very tired of all talk and no action
2023-03-08

8. Great Podcast - I enjoy listening to Senator Cruz on this platform. The truth and relative topics resonate with my beliefs. I appreciate his candor on important issues affecting our country especially with this current misdirected derelict administration. I wish Senator Cruz represented my state. Thank you!

1. Big fan! - I absolutely love Nicole and Deadline White House. I never miss it, whether I watch it on television or catch up with the podcast at night. It’s one of my favorite shows. Nicole is simply the best. Smart, sharp, witty, prepared, blunt, unafraid, dogged, honest, and tenacious. She’s truly an asset to MSNBC.
2023-03-03

2. Inspires me to learn more about what is going on in the World. - Nicole Wallace is the one I listen to when it comes to the news. She gives information that leads me to look up the things she is talking about during the day. I trust her and for this I am grateful. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being a kindhearted person who is passionate about your life!
2023-02-18

3. Same reason it was illegal to teach slaves to read… - DeSantis is doing this for the same reason anyone has ever withheld knowledge…it’s because knowledge is power. It was illegal to teach slaves to read. Why? Because, once they have knowledge they have power. How can you enslave a powerful person or race? You can’t. So…it has nothing to do with making white kids uncomfortable (which…what??!!) it’s about keeping knowledge and power from a subjugated people, lest they figure out how to free themselves. Simple. Just like DeSantis…simple…simple minded fool.
2023-02-02

4. fact-based reporting but turn off background sound! - Thank you, Nicole for fact-based reporting on reality. Also I smile each and every time you refer to the twice-impeached, disgraced former president. Again, fact based and still hard to believe there is any doubt he committed crimes against our nation given what you report on a daily basis.
2023-01-10

5. Great Show but the ads!!! - I am with everyone else. Why are MSNBC podcasts so late? I LOVE this podcast because of its intelligent conversation but sometimes I am driving out of town and they used to be up before dinner. And NOW in January, the ads don’t come at the tv breaks, they INTERRUPT the show itself!! Poor production.
2023-01-05

6. Roll your eyes at me, Nicolle - Are you tired of hearing me complain about the women-hating NEAL KATYAL , you insist on having on your show, you know the lawyer for Johnson & Johnson, who, BTW, is charging that cancer-causing company, a little less than $, an hour to devise a plan to block women from suing? I am too. Go ahead, Roll your eyes, but it is also is a black eye for you — makes us think you think he’s great.
2022-10-21

7. Haberman - It was a little surprising and disappointing to me that you/MSNBC gave Maggie Haberman a platform to promote her book. The information she offered was a day late and a dollar short don’t you think? It is my understanding that journalists have a duty to report to the public when it matters, not hoard the information only to release it when it suits them and their pocket books. Vainglorious.
2022-10-11

8. making up charges?? - i suppose they are all fake charges too? why would dems do that? if you are over six years old you should be ashamed of being such a sucker!!! trump could say the good fairy left top secret docs after he contacted her telepathically... and you would believe that!!? not at all far fetched compared to other things he says, dems don't need to make up charges with people like you believing everything trump and his cronies say. with absolutely zero proof!!!! it is just silly!

Russell goes under the skin of guests from the world of academia, popular culture and the arts, to help us to understand and see the ulterior truth behind our constructed reality. And have a laugh!

Release date: 2023-03-23

Comments

1. Funny Intellectual! - I had no idea Russell was this funny and brilliant. He knows when to be funny and when to go deep. The interviews are good and he mostly lets people talk it out with him. Some podcasters constantly cut people off and it’s the Ego Show: not here. Laughs and Thought Provoking Discourse: Now this is the way to learn stuff and hear big news topics!
2023-03-15

2. So many words so little meaning - This show is engaging and often entertaining due to Russell’s presenting style. However he seems to be turning into a pseudo intellectual. He uses complex terms in amateur ways and covers with too many pronouns and babble, which in the end just makes enormous word salads. Once you notice it becomes tiresome. I think he wants to be seen as an intellectual or a great thinker of some sort, especially as he interviews people who often are; but he isn’t one of these so he often just sounds daft. I wish he would use succinct speech more and get to the point. Interviewers can’t be as great as everyone they speak with, but they can make better interviews if they concentrate on their guests.
2023-03-10

3. Awesome all around! - It’s an immense relief discovering that not ALL politicians, actors, Corp execs, and WEF sheeple have sold their souls to pharma… Huge thank you to Russell and all our fellow “fringe” folks who pause to ask questions when things went haywire in the world!! Many more people are now cognizant of the fact that those responsible for the National and global C response (and other destructive plans) have questionable motives and ethics and/or are completely incompetent. Keep doing what you’re doing R! There are more of us than them even if BígT’s algos reports say otherwise: The “Thought Police” kicked as many of us off the internet as they could, but -surprise!- we didn’t change our minds and keep on holding the line with you

Comments

1. Ari! GREAT JOB W GATEZ! - If an interviewer is giving a platform to a bad guy, without holding said bad guy accountable…that’s one thing. It’s not your thing though. Perfection buddy! Keep up the good work! Don’t let these other dummies tell you otherwise. Also, the lesson from Gates’ recent behavior isn’t that he’s up to any good…it just means he’s got a new master. A master by the name of DeSantis. He’s playing the long game—pretty well I’d have to say
2023-02-01

2. Ellie Mystal Is a circus barker! - What the heck? I put up with all your rap lyric references but this just had me turning it off right away. I don’t need to be screamed at. If I want that I’ll turn to Jim Jordan. Give me the facts in a concise, thoughtful, and factual way. Screaming gets you nowhere.
2023-01-14

3. give back don’t just take - Ari takes from the black community by using the work of black musicians even though no other black journalists at msnbc would be able to do that. instead i’d just being a culture vulture, i’d appreciate him covering real issues that affect real people rather than rant about trump for the next years. he has good takes sometimes but is also very cringe.
2023-01-05

4. RAP - Dear Ari. I have beem a fan of your program on MSNBC for several years - but this infatuation you have with rap has become so tiresome, and I feel takes away from the quality of your program. When you are doing legal analysis, which is rather high-brow, and then make quotes or commentary that is not just one step down, but more like an entire staircase! Please leave all that to the Herschal Walker show, and make your comments sound as intelligent as your legal guests. Are you trying to show how “down’ you are? I happen to be a musician, and admittedly not a fan of rap, but the impression is that you are trying way too hard every night. And I end up turning you off every time you start with all that ‘pseudo hipness’ . . . I hope you will rethink all this time you give to the rap department and just do what you do well on the pm time-slot - and push the rap on another program. Thank you. . . Nancy Marano

5. Home detention - Ari, your hometown jails are using home detention and affordable bail. Yet, with the reforms, you have an example of juveniles and adults escaping, or cutting off their ankle bracelets, and committing murder, robbery, and assaults. So what's the answer now? The community deserves to feel safe, and most communities are tired of the reforms. Maybe go home and talk to people in Seattle about how the reforms are doing. They are doing so good we elected a republican for the city attorney. Talk with her about how Seattle is doing with a crime. We had so many police officers quit during the defunding that police would take years to get back to a safe city. I find you use loose facts on your show, very loose, and it's sad. The criminal justice system is trying to reform, and yet you keep reminding voters how terrible the system is, so we can't get any hiring going even with , dollar bonuses. On your marijuana comments about Judges, if you looked into that, it's not allowed for anyone in LE to use marijuana because, federally, it's illegal, and most LE institutions work with the feds, so anyone contracting with the federal government can be terminated for marijuana use. So I doubt judges smoke pot. Lastly, way to remind the cross-over voter why they wouldn't vote blue because defunding the whole LE system isn't popular when policies are enacted to defund the system. Why aren't you talking about positive stories so the younger generation will consider doing civil service jobs for the community? Currently, most of this generation is turned off by working a civil service job in Fire, Police, Corrections, and Courts, and all the support jobs.
2022-10-12

6. Where is it - I give Ari one star for his stupid jokes that interrupt intelligent people too much. I give Ari one star because his staff REFUSES to get his podcast up by the evening of the day it aired. REALLY. It is MONDAY night in the Pacific time zone!!! Where is Friday??? By the time the podcast gets up who cares? I wanted to see it but this is bad. I would give Ari stars for most of his interviews but the other two matters overshadow so much else. Who can see or hear them if one cannot hear the podcast when one should? And it is much later now…. WHY don’t Ari’s Podcast editors work on Fridays???
2022-09-20

7. Please stop calling right wing crazies “radical” - Ari can you please calling the right wing racist, and conspiracy theorist who are trying to take a way rights of women and people of color as “radicals” which are really the folks that fight against racism and police violence. This group wants to go back to when white men had all the power and controlled all others-this is REACTIONARY not radical.
2022-05-16

8. The Beat is on point! - Ari and all the guest hosts are very even keeled, smart, and curious. The writing is excellent. Ari’s tone and tenor strike a perfect balance and I really enjoy the rap references. One nitpick if I may: not to be personal, but Michael Steele makes me lunge for the fast forward button. It’s like, vague political word salad from a nice guy with a nice voice. Thanks for a consistently awesome show!

A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

Release date: 2023-03-19

Comments

1. Surveillance Capitalism - Al, One idea I had, leasing to this podcast, to possible solve this issue and possible others is to establish term limits to the house and the senate. For example I will propose - terms for the house. Since the serve or get re-elected every two years. Senate should be two terms since they get re-elected every years. I believe that if in & years you can not move the country forward, you are not working for the people. I would love if u could examine the possibility of term limits to solve this problem.
2023-02-21

2. Excellent guests, constantly talked over - Love the variety, expertise and depth of each podcast. Just annoyed by how Al gathers these experts just to constantly interrupt them. He is not anywhere near as qualified to discuss the topics as the guests and he frequently interrupts them mid-sentence. He has been out of office for five years, his reminiscing about those years has no bearing on current events (except to toot his own horn). This latest episode about surveillance technology made that painfully clear. Please let the experts talk!
2023-02-20

3. Surveillance Capitalism- a MUST listen - I now understand this! (at least a little, which is better than not at all). And it is so important in so many ways that are essential to democracy, climate change, etc. and I appreciate the hopefulness of the guests and I appreciate Al’s interviewing skills in asking for explanations, which helped a lot
2023-02-19

4. Is okay, but… - It feels like it’s the same topic every week: how did the Republican Party become what it is today and how long they’ve been scheming. We all know by now. Talk about what we can DO about it. Also, Al needs new jokes and stories instead of telling the same ones over and over again.
2023-02-15

5. Julia Ioffe - Al you did an excellent job with this knowledgeable but sarcastic and hugely bitter guest. She is getting to the point that she no longer tries to hide it. What Ms Ioffe does not realise is that her attitude comes through loud and clear and she will not further her cause by behaving this way.
2023-02-05

6. Repetition - Hello I really enjoy your podcast and it is interesting and provocative with great guests. My only complaint is the repetitious lame joke on every podcast that this is really good….for a change. This is not funny and is boorish and insulting much akin to some of the old David Letterman repetitive jokes where he kept repeating a punch line even if there was no laughter! (I.e. academy award show). Please stop so I can continue to enjoy your interesting podcast! Ray McCollister
2023-01-23

7. Always full of hope - and heart. For a change. - I love this podcast. Al brilliantly calls out the ironies and the exasperations of our current life in America. Al is a national treasure. His comedic gifts and his indispensable service to our nation as a Senator and USO entertainer are examples of the very best anyone can contribute to our country. And he’s a good interviewer!
2023-01-22

8. Awful - Just an awful human being, as it turns out. No woman should listen to this man, and any man who likes him should acknowledge the misogyny they like about this jerk. He also joyfully played the part of ‘gay’ man in the most stereotypical way possible on SNL. Think about who is hosting your fave podcast. What does it mean about YOU?

Comments

1. Love the Truth from these guys… - While this is one of my favorite podcasts, for some reason every episode is playing a later date and time. Just trying to set the preferences is tough because logic is not present. Please have the engineers do something about tagging older episodes as already played. The Apple Podcast app is not acting right.
2023-03-08

2. Enjoy The Maldives - Buck gets married then self deports AND now Clay gets to talk sports for two weeks? It’s all falling apart. Buck, you could have left a substitute host in your place to keep this Sport’s Talk Takeover from happening. Sexton, you abandoned your post. The fox hole you deserted has become a Fox Sports Hole in your absence. All this for dang ‘ole love? I hope she knows how much these nuptials have disrupted all of our lives. Seriously tho, Congrats on your new union, and I wasn’t joking about Clay. You have been recalled. Get back ASAP! before it’s too late…
2023-02-16

3. Election Fraud Denier - Sorry folks all done listening to you. If you don’t address election fraud then Republicans will NEVER be elected in the majority again. This is especially true in state wide elections where corrupt big cities can produce an unlimited number of fraudulent Democrat ballots. So no more senators, governors, state AG’s, Sec. of State, or presidential electoral college wins.
2022-11-16

4. Losing me - I was raised on Rush. I’ve also listened to and have been a fan of Clay since he was on sports radio here in Nashville. I’ve listened to their show since day after taking over for Rush. However, I have found myself listening less and less to the point where I am no longer listening at all. Reasons, . There is literally minutes of talk, minutes of commercials. I am BEYOND sick of the commercials. . Im done with Clay. He constantly interrupts/talks over Buck. . Clay constantly repeats himself and it’s so tiresome. . Im a sports fanatic but also a political junkie. I tune in for politics, not Clays constant ramblings of the games he’s going to, games he went to, his continual pushing of outkick. The show has become stale, Clay has worn me thin and ENOUGH WITH THE COMMERCIALS. Im done.
2022-11-15

5. The future of conservative talk radio is here! - I do my best to keep an open mind (tougher to do as I grow older). Was worried about conservative radio after Rush passed. I’ve listened to Clay and Buck from the start. I love it; it’s like watching your kids grow up! The show gives me insight to the younger generations, and how they think, as well as how they practice conservatism. Keep up the great work, I’ll continue to listen and be a proud “radio parent”.
2022-11-14

6. Boy do we miss Rush! - We knew Rush would be hard to replace but this show is just not very good. I turn it on nearly every day but within or minutes I have to turn it off because it’s just so awful. Give it up on Covid and all the fake outrage. Sure wish they would’ve picked someone like Brian Kilmeade to fill Rush’s time slot.
2022-11-08

7. Why Spanish ads? - The contend is good, but has always had too many ads. A serious discussion has to be cut short just to hear an ad read by the hosts yet again. However, now the feed has Spanish ads at commercial breaks. Even if Hispanics are listening to the podcast in record numbers, they have to comprehend English enough to understand the hosts. No need for Spanish ads!
2022-10-28

8. I vote Buck for main host - I gave it a cause I do like the show most of the time. Buck is my favorite host. I would like to listen to him for the three hours. His knowledge and presentation is much better than his cohost. Clay tends to repeat himself way too much and I get the general sense he likes the sound of his own voice.

Comments

1. Authentic Dialogue - Authentic dialogue with honest authentic insightful guests! Chris Hayes’ All In is being a fly on the wall at the best dinner party where guests are civic-minded, compassionate intellectuals. I’m happy for folks to interrupt one another in the interest of thoughtful exchange. I trust the compassionate, intelligent host, Chris, so interruptions are fine. Chris Hayes sets a very high bar for analysis and being able to combine more than one issue into a complex and ultimately revealing story-telling. Thank you.
2023-03-15

2. I’m all in for All In - Whether I’m home or traveling, the one news magazine I prefer to watch (when home) or listen to the podcast of (when traveling) is All In with Chris Hayes. Chris Hayes is incredibly well informed, thoughtful, and respectful. Any barbs from him are generally humorous and reserved for the over-the-top political players. He is incredibly hard working and wonderfully talented, and makes for an amazing resource. Thank you so much, Chris Hayes!
2023-02-09

3. Always very informative without the hype - This is one of my favorite podcasts. He gets to the heart of the matter and doesn't stop there. "But what are we going to do about it?" is an important question too few ask. They tell us the horrors of the day and no more. It is vitally important to explore and discuss the answers to this question. Because heaven knows, we need to find some good solutions to a whole pack of very serious, pressing problems--sooner than later.

4. cardinal principle - Hello, “look, A cardinal principle of this show is that we don’t predict the future and the future is unwritten and I don’t know what will happen in the future.” Hmmmmm ? I suggest you and your team review past shows obtaining support for your claim. a fan, Marco the Tucson cowboy

5. . - andrea mitchell reports doesn’t have a podcast. today at around : central time on her msnbc show she said, a”a secular jew, i don’t know what that is”r u kidding me andrea. let me enlighten u. a secular jew is a person who has jewish dna but does not adhere to the jewish religion, non-religious. not that hard to understand andrea. who needs to retire? andrea mitchell greenspan. blahhh
2022-10-24

6. When a show is downloadable is just as important - It can be midnight on the East coast, and does MSNBC let me download The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell? - No. Can I download an episode of Rachel Maddow? - Of course not! Winner: Chris Hayes …and so the moral of the story, children (i.e. idiot producers at Last Word and Maddow) if your episode is a wrap, you upload. Full stop. Screw your excuses.
2022-08-30

7. Smartest man on TV - I’m often blown away by the depth and width of knowledge Chris demonstrates, by his critical thinking and his capacity for empathy. He is probably the smartest person on tv right now. I’ve been a fan since his UP days (I even have Up with Chris Hayes mugs!) However, or perhaps exactly for this reason, lately I’ve been bothered by his handling of the issue of young children’s transitioning. He has become a mouthpiece for activists who are an unhinged, unthinking lot with strong totalitarian tendencies. To say I’m disappointed is to say nothing. It’s a bizarre place, current mainstream media landscape. No one is allowed to say anything slightly critical or even ask questions. How did we get here?? So I understand. Saying anything other than Gender Affirming Care is the only way of your kid is dead will cost you your job. But maybe at least don’t say that Abbotts ban on kids transitioning is child abuse? Because it’s literally the opposite. Child abuse is letting your year old have her breasts chopped off when there is a high probability she’ll outgrow her gender dysphoria. Most dysphoric kids would simply grow up to be gay. The data does not support claims activists are making about GAC. Several European countries have been rolling back their enthusiastic programs transitioning minors. Look how many detransitioners there are now. And many of these kids are maimed for life, or rendered infertile. Where is Chris Hayes’ signature empathy now? Abbotts law is excessive where it comes to prosecuting parents, but that’s it. A life long registered democrat, I’m also a fan of desantis’ “Dont say gay” law as you put it. I have a first grader. I don’t want him to be exposed to gender ideology at school. And I don’t know anybody who does! Just sayin’. I can’t watch/ listen to the show anymore. Cognitive dissonance is too great. I keep wondering if Chris actually believes the nonsense or simply scared to lose his job. Is it possible that he knows ins and outs of some debacle involving some air conditioner factory, but no clue about what’s actually going on with the biggest culture war issue? Is he really just like the rest of us, nice liberals, busy with their daily lives, nodding along to whatever slogans sound like human rights and social justice and giving it no further thought?

8. He is trying to prove a point - Trump knows he is guilty. He took the top secret docs on purpose and probably transmitted them onward. But his reason is even more sinister. He is going to show the world that he is above the law. He is positive that he will not be charged. He is proving that our democracy is not that strong, and that justice is not blind and equal to all.

1. The Fascist Right - I love your podcast - intelligent and logical. Now is the time to fight and with this come labels - the Fascist right are a danger to all - not just in the usa. I am proud to be woke - I am fully awake, educated and aware of injustice. The fascist right are the opposite. Their leader is from Fascist Florida - call it out.

2. A podcast that educates and entertains. - If you're looking for an informative podcast, I suggest "Stay Tuned with Preet." It is one of my favorite shows. The show is hosted by Preet Bharara, who covers a wide range of topics in a fun and accessible way. One thing I appreciate about the show is that it's not surface-level topics. Instead, Preet Bharara and his guests dive deep into current affairs. And Preet injects humor into their conversations, making complex issues more lighthearted. Overall, I recommend "Stay Tuned with Preet" to anyone looking for a well-produced, engaging, and relevant podcast.

3. Maybe you can make this happen ;-) - Stay Tuned continues to be insightful and, I daresay by now, influential? I'd like to make the following suggestion, germane to the Santos Circus: Santos (he seems to be gifted, like Zelig) should become the official Congressional House Jester, paid by the Republicons (not the US Taxpayer), but no longer able to cast a vote or be on a Congressional committee. He shall put on a show, in drag, every week and make both sides of the aisle laugh. Meanwhile his "constituents" on Long Island must get their act together and have a new election for someone to occupy his former seat ASAP.

4. th January - Ask Preet… I’d like to hear more about the Holman Rule now that the House has reinstated it. Cutting funding to federal agencies and cuts to individual wages/ spending. Argle-Bargle, nonsense, confusion, absurd ways… Thanks Preet love your cast, though I miss Joyce when she’s absent.
2023-01-12

5. My favorite - I usually start the day with NPR News and NPR’s Up First to get a quick update on the world. But I then, if there is a new Stay Tuned or Cafe Insider episode, that is my next stop. Always interesting, informative and fair. Cafe Insider is one of my few paid Podcast subscriptions, just because of my life-long frugality, but Cafe is worth it.
2022-11-28

6. You've got my back! - Every Monday morning I wake up and think about what I have to accomplish in the coming week, and then I remember that there will be several podcasts from the Cafe Insider dropping during the week, giving me something to look forward to every single day. Keep on keepin' on. I can't do without this.

7. Al Franken Interview - This is my favorite political podcast. Have a bone to pick today, . Al Franken complained about Dem messaging-it doesn't fit on a bumper sticker. However, Al could not come up with even one succinct message. When asked a question, he went on and on good info, but not good "messaging." I'm tired of complaints about messaging when no one does better. What is the bumper sticker meassge, Al and Preet? Don't pass the buck.
2022-10-27

8. Always Thoughtful - The thing about Preet is that he's not a shouter or bomb thrower trying to get attention with outrageous or inflammatory statements and opinions. Preet and his guests are always respectful, knowledgeable and careful. If you are looking for that kind of information then sign up! You won't regret it.

1. Bless VDH! - Long time listener, first time poster. I wanted to comment on the DEI situation. I recently was involved in a promotion board and of the questions asked of the candidates, of them were specifically targeting the candidates to provide DEI examples of their career. It’s happening in the middle management class.

2. BLM - Pay your own reparations! - This is one of the few sources where I listen to each podcast regularly and repeatedly… listen to drink in the wisdom of VDH and history! So glad he willingly and freely shares with the world, for those who are willing to keep learning! How about asking BLM and all their billions of dollars to PAY REPARATIONS to their own? Simple. Matter settled. And, about Jack Fowler, who I’m sure is a fine individual, is a long-winded, lousy interviewer. Please have him step aside and let VDH have his own show…!
2023-03-23

3. All episodes, opening tune - Thank you for the “Gary Owen” march. My father was a First Cavalry Division officer in WWII. This is the preferred march for the First Cavalry, not “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.” I can almost see my dad astride a beautiful horse, marching to this song. We were at Ft. Bliss for a couple of years before the division deployed. They had dismounted and transitioned to the Jeep before the left.

4. Victor & Jack please keep the Gary O. . - Victor my year old Irish Nana originally from Cork loves your show and ask’s will you please keep the Gary-O to open the show. It was a favorite of her husband. My late Grandfather Simon Keogh. Growing up I remember watching the John Wayne movies with him like Fort Apache with Henry Fonda and Shirly Temple as well as She wore a yellow ribbon. The Gary-O was commonly played during those movies as I recall. My Grandpa Simon would do his best at an Irish jig whenever the song was played. My Irish Nana Teresa would tell him to sit down or she would get the Shillelagh. They were great times I wish I had back. Please keep the Gary-O going for my Irish Nana’s memories much appreciated Micheal C. Dorchester Ma.

5. In defense of Fowler - I just read a few reviews of this podcast and wanted to chime in. Of course VDH is smart and insightful, but my favorite part of the podcast is when Jack Fowler goes on a little rant and ‘just says it.’ Whenever this happens I am convinced that someone else feels exactly as I do. Heart emoji here.

6. VDH Quit Interrupting! - Your interview of Roger Kimball could have been much better if you would quit interrupting while he was in mid-sentence after asking him a question. You did this several times and it was annoying. I would have liked to hear much more of Mr. Kimball’s thoughts. Also, it seemed like there was a disconnect/delay in your communication system which added to the problem.
2023-03-20

7. Episode Discussing Viet Nam - Fm: Jamie Thackaberry, Special Forces, RET. To: VDH I enjoyed your interview with Mark Moyar. Having been involved in some way with just about every conflict we’ve had since , I may not have heard anything radically new, but some of his analyses gave me broader perspective. Well done.
2023-03-19

8. Let Sami Moderate - Roger Kimball was talked over so much that he withdrew. I wanted to hear his opinions and of course Victor’s brief comments to add value or emphasis. Victor really overdid it today. I think Sami helps control Victor’s “ADHD” and her spontaneous laughter helps bring some lightness to the show. Please bring Roger back and have Sami referee.

Now, imprisoned in his home, his life, reputation and livelihood destroyed, Cohen is on a mission to right the wrongs he perpetuated on behalf of his boss. Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen, is a raw and unfiltered shining a light into the dark corners of our current Americ...

1. Truth - I admire people who tell the truth publicly especially after dealing with psychopathic narcissists , exposing their vulnerability and having fallen under the influence until things get too painful to live a false truth and tell their own . I respected the conversation between Michael and Stormy. I’m easily triggered bc I was married for years to someone who weeks before the election told me a in a moment of honesty that warned me for the last time before I finally told my own truth, the he was “ just like Donald Trump”. It took about months , after DT won the presidency to be done wanting things to work out w my husband and year total relationship, since I was . So I am always deeply moved to know there are others out there who have experienced the kind of spell or whatever it is that takes them out of their hearts , minds and body signals that something is terribly wrong . Thank you for this conversation. Ever since you Michael , testified in front of Congress , I have been open to believing you. It was not hard this whole time . Now I can say I trust that you say what you mean and mean what you say. I hope you and Stormy fully recover and are able to build good lives and integrate the damage done by someone who has no conscience but are so good at grooming. Thank you and my wishes to be well to you both and your family and friends too.

2. I couldn’t give you and a half stars. - So I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I’m docking you half a star for working for Trump. I’ve despised the guy since he was involved with the USFL. I think I’m one of two people to have actually read Art of the Deal, the author being the other one. Trump has “written” more books than he has read. I used to do corporate training for LG in Seoul in the s. LG wanted me to use Art of the Deal as a textbook for a negotiation seminar. On the first day, my students, all Korean engineers, sat in front of me with their copies of Art of the Steal (Mein Drumpf) in front of them. I held my copy of the book aloft, right side up mind you, and said, “We will NOT be using this book” as I dropped it into a waste paper basket. They gasped. LG wanted to fire me. They didn’t. Unwitting people around the world think he’s a successful business man. Anyway, you’ve done the time and you’re doing the work. I happen to like your tone, even if it’s a bit hard on the ears through headphones. Continue to bring it! Have you read it?

3. Why sound frantic when we know you can sound logical? - The information herein is helpful and often good but the delivery, something rather like a lunatic, seems incredibly unnecessary. Wondering who told Michael this would get him more viewers? It is a relief when half the podcast is an interview with another person because Michael talks normally. Someone please tell him that he does not have to sound like Fox News to get followers.

4. Oompa Loompa Barr - Bill Maher is a Peter Thiel acolyte of neo-libertarianism. Maher also smoothly repeats PRC’s messages, i.e. China is dominating the US, proving the US is weak - or in terminal decline. It’s all a lie. Bill Barr & his ilk have interests that align w/ the likes of Peter Thiel. Bill Maher’s softball questions of Oompa Loompa aren’t free passes, as Snell said, but right-wing alignment.

5. John dean - Ok… do you think the doj is giving the US(maga)citizens a chance to get ready for indictments? John said even after Nixons resigned, people still believed he was innocent. Ok so we are at a point of time (as compared to Nixon)where maybe, as these little pieces are leaking(fox News lying) and some republicans not backing him for the election.. I think doj maybe waiting to cushion the maga followers. With all information at our fingertips at all times? Not like with Nixon, where we were depended on the media.. all I have to say is.. either or, indictments happen or don’t there will be a uprising. Our mission should be to help the maga people after they start to question tfg and his lies. I hope they can see(soon) the truth.

6. Heroic American Citizen - I would never have been able to discern a piece of this world your speak of had you not been willing to share your insights & experiences. You’ve given me so much to think about and your guests on the show always exceed my expectations. Your are proof that failing & having a door closed behind you doesn’t mean it’s the end. If you’re smart, work hard, greater & better things will happen. You have certainly met those expectations and beyond. And thank you for fighting the weaponization of trumps justice system. You are a heroic American citizen.

7. Sad story, Harry Dunn! - When we talk about patriotism in U.S., we talk about veterans as heros. But when it comes to our domestic turf, there is relative silence about the violence & trauma inflicted upon D.C. police officers This betrayal was committed on the far left & far right. This was a black police officer beaten by far white supremacists. So much for BLM. It was collective silence on both sides. Elected officials are also, ‘disgraceful’ as Michael suggests. As someone w/ PTSD, I’m just so sad … Can we do better as a country?

8. Get over yourself - Karma doesn’t look kindly on people like you…get over it. If you really want to make a difference and atone for your misdeeds, why don’t you use your legal knowledge to work with groups like the Innocence Project and bring to light and stop real travesties of justice like what happened to Steven Donziger??

1. Algonquin Roundtable it ain’t - The new team of Mayer, Glasser & Osnos is nearly unlistenable. The thoughtfulness of the previous hosts is gone, replaced by ‘insider’ credulous gossip and surface level hot takes. The show opens with the obligatory podcast ‘off mic’ efforts to humanize the team, but their hackneyed clichés about the merits of the everything bagel come across as trying too hard to prove their humanity hasn’t been scripted by ChatGPT. It might have entertained in , but in this world it is a useless mess. Follow-up after listening to the Iraq War anniversary episode. Glasser’s memory of the war was how shocked she was that the government was incompetent. How could any reporter in that position have been shocked? Mayer talked about all the high status folks she was around at the time who were also ultimately caught off guard. I don’t see any evidence of self reflection or change in their approach to covering the news. These folks are all about their in-crowd status to the detriment of any useful insight. All the other writers and interviews in this feed are excellent, but this core trio is useless.

2. Look forward to this each week - Thanks to Jane Mayer, who is both brilliant and humble, this podcast is essential listening for everyone. I really appreciate the substance and brevity. Jane Mayer is a light in a dark time in our country and she should be even more recognized and praised. I look forward to this podcast each week and recommend it to everyone I know.

3. A comment for the team, not a review - SOTU commentary (glasser et al) I disagree w/you on the Biden’s abortion comment. I’m moderate, unaffiliated, slightly left of center. I’ve had an abortion, I understand the issue, I am totally pro-choice. I was very pleased with his statement which was absolute: he would veto any law that outlawed abortion. And I’m sure he’s pro-women's’ rights. That speech was designed to trap the crazies and show he could cover a lot of issues with high energy. Abortion is emotion issue. To dig into abortion would simply have further enraged those to whom abortion is a sin. He was very wise to tread lightly on it in the SOTU. And his position was clear.

4. Great - with reservations. - Love the content and the themes. And yet the actual broadcasting is a source of frustration. Vocal fry! Makes it almost unlistenable at times. Once you hear it you can’t unhear it. Your host is a skilled and practiced speaker but some of the presenters (sorry Tyler - recency bias) are really hard to hear. Can be fixed!
2023-02-09

5. Memphis Police - The dumbest take by a host and guest ever. Just flabbergasted. I loved and worked through a abolishment in Seattle at the East Precinct. It only had the highest crime rate of any areas during that time. You want body cams, and then when the criminals act stupid on body cams you don’t want them. Dumb

Great best wonderful podcast!!! - I love the changes that you made to this podcast and that there’s more of them and also I adore adore adore Evan Osnos and crew I won’t miss that podcast ever so this is just fabulous it’s one of my all-time favorite podcasts in the world so thank you for such wonderful wonderful programming!!!!!!

7. Thanks for your great coverage! - Listening now to your story on George Santos. I’m glad to hear the dulcet tones of Clare Malone again but even more happy you’re highlighting the value of local news outlets in ferreting out stories that can affect us nationally. Three cheers for local journalism and the New Yorker!

8. Tyler Foggett ruins it - I honestly find her commentary to be circular in logic and her questions to interviewees designed to produce some canned answer making some Mumbo jumbo that appeals to a certain type of dogmatic and air headed progressive. Check out her coverage of cancel culture for a prime example of the word salad… the other hosts on the podcast are much better. Evan Osnos, Susan Glasser, David Remnick etc

1. Activists Pretending To Be Unbiased - My God this is perhaps the most lopsided cast posing as supposedly unbiased, are you serious? At least the neocons over on Ruthless aren’t out here claiming to be something they’re not. These brothers with their deep pockets and constant grifting always have their hands out and donate to nothing but (D) causes to the tune of millions per quarter but we’re supposed to believe they’re totally doing this for everyone with no slant? Uh okay.
2023-03-24

2. The cure for bothsides-ism - Fun, funny, charming yet with tons of legal knowledge takes on current events. The team is pro-democracy and calls out current day fascism straight up. The network of shows uploads constantly on youtube. This particular one is the best with the brothers. They are humble and not elite snarky like so many out there. Give it a try if you want to stay updated on political news while having fun.

3. Writing a lot of reviews today. Love this show. - Sometimes you get a little preachy, but otherwise I love this whole network. I’m using the podcast review function to spread the word about Fox Hosts & their text messages. Anyone is welcome to join in. God knows Fox won’t tell their viewers how two faced they are, so I thought this might be a good method. I posted reviews on many shows including those by people who don’t work at fox but have the same audience. My message was a suggestion that people search for “Fox Hosts Text Messages” in their favorite search engines. Maybe this could work if enough of us did it.

5. Dudes, please stop the theme music sooner - Love your show. I listen everyday and have followed you everywhere. That theme music continues to play behind the start of the show repeating just a grief piece for many minutes. I always fast forward because it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. It’s like listening to you while being placed on hold. Why? Why do you do it? Please stop the music once you start talking? Please?

6. Fox News Lies Exposed - This is what's fantastic about The MeidasTouch podcasts. While other media outlets report the headline, Meidas Touch provides us the FACTS in detail. Like the concerted effort of Fox News to intentionally LIE about Biden's victory to protect ratings even while they knew the cost to our democracy. Reprehensible. Thank you, Meidas Touch.

7. February - Thanks for looking up, checking and sharing your word definitions. Hard to understand when you are all talking over one another. I detest your incessant mocking and mimicking. One joke is good, but you ruin the show professionalism using it again and again… Making your joke merely redundant.

8. Call out the ignorance of the beast from Georgia. - While reviewing the fascists on the newest House Subcommittee supposedly investigating the Democrats using social media to stifle conservatives there was one comment made by Taylor-Green that showed her ignorance more than the rest of her ignorant comment. It was when she was berating and verbally assaulting the former Twitter executives because they had suspended her account for spreading disinformation. She accused these former private company executives of violating her First Amendment rights! There are some things she could have accused these American citizens of doing but accusing them of violating any of her Constitutional rights clearly displayed her ignorance about the function of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution is a document that outlines how the Federal Government, not a private company or a private citizen, will treat all Americans. A private company cannot violate any rights of any other person because the actions of a private company is not a topic covered by the Constitution. Green’s delusion that Twitter violated her First Amendment rights must be called out to display just how stupid and twisted the fascist MAGAs are in all they do and believe. I hope you will cover this to put the Q-witch in the spotlight so you can highlight she ignorance.
