    White middle aged woman here who looks forward to Clock It each week while getting her steps in. Aside from increasing my vernacular, the chemistry you both have is beyond. But this week went above and with Mr. Steele.

  • Michael Steele’s Interview

Just keeping it 💯 with you. Until next time.

  • GOP-lite; unsubscribed

    These hosts don’t read books or seem to know their own history, let alone any one else’s. I put myself on a timeout after the Piker interview because I was so angry at how Symone attacked this young, influential change-agent while Eugene sat silently, letting his name be used for her to weaponize against Piker. She should have stayed home but earned her oligarch bucks that day. They never speak to people with actual power like that; they chose to attack a child of immigrants because they themsel... more

Symone and Eugene on The Best People with Nicolle Wallace

Symone and Eugene on The Best People with Nicolle Wallace
Q: How did you flip the switch from speaking for someone else to speaking for yourself?
Symone Sanders Townsend says representing others was easier because she could translate their views, while offering her own analysis requires substantial research and preparation.
Michael Steele’s Up-Mountain Battle to Reform the Republican Party
Q: Why stay a member of a Republican Party you feel like no longer serves your interests or represents your interests?
Steele says leaving would be easier than staying, but he remains because he believes the party should stand for individual rights and freedoms. He wants to help shape a future Republican Party that protects equal rights and the ability of people to flourish.
