    First, I must say I’m a big fan and follower of Malcolm Gladwell. And Hasan sounds like a good guy. But you two bleeding heart liberals must be kidding! Why isn’t there more “empathy” for the two murderers?! BECAUSE THEY ARE MURDERERS!!! They deserve nothing more than the long arm of justice putting them to death. How about some empathy for the family of the poor woman who was murdered?! How about some craving for justice for the poor dead woman herself?! These 19 year olds weren’t some kids mak... more

  • No pushback on Ai

    Just listened to that Ai sales pitch from Wyclef Jean without any pushback from Hasan. Wyclef is clearly drinking the kool aid and hasan is only willing to treat him like a fanboy. Feeling sour on this show overall now.
