    Direct and straight to point on every opinion. Only one problem there’s not enough of the show.

    Clear spoken and well articulated conversations. Yes a progressive liberal view point. So if your not liberal, you will not like the show.

  • It was Trump To City Let’s Build

    FYI. There were two Daly news covers: one was Trump to City Let’s build the other was Ford to City drop dead.

    The whole thing was a play on President Ford telling NYC when we were in bankruptcy to drop dead.

    Sadly, I’m old enough to remember this.

    Pretty sure the Mayor got four other Palestinian students released in addition to the girl just taken.

  • Good show

    The hosts are good people. However, they have been very slow at recognizing the complicity of the Democratic Party and their corrupt politicians that has enabled the rise of fascism in America. Voting Blue will not change a thing. The party is not a real opposition party. They only provide WWE style performative acts.
