    Am I the only person who thought Biden was a good president? I mean that last debate wasn’t great, but I thought his presidency and his administration did a great job.

  • Love the podcast and Rich Wilson

    I love listening to Rick Wilson and Molly. Molly, I don't like Corey Lewandowski, however, you are mispronouncing his name. It's not pronounced LewBanowski.

Charlie Sykes & Jon Meacham
Q: I wonder if you could just, for those who are very freaked out about these midterms, give us some hope.
If the votes are counted fairly, and if there is trust in the system, it feels that this hour, as often happens in American life, we're going to quickly change our minds.
Charlie Sykes & Jon Meacham
Q: Do you think that this is really like this administration worried that they might lose a Texas Senate seat?
All of those things, all of the above. The Texas Senate seat is going to be in play if Ken Paxton wins the Republican primary.
