The podcast is essentially the podcast version of the television show “The View.” They have 1 or 2 moderate republicans to seem kike they are looking at issues from both sides but it's mostly made-up of liberal democrats. The podcast also has very few Realists on the podcast. People like Jamil can be right. I actually agree with him on numerous issues, yet he never accepts when he's wrong, like his devotion to the Bush Era policies.
