Have been a fan for years. This always starts my day. First this then Morning Joe. I enjoyed Lemere too. Both very professional, both with their own style. Love Ali as she is warm and has a young energy. Like the guests. Anyone who can be on air so early everyday kudos! That’s discipline. There only one commentator…She’s excellent but her valley girl talk.. overall, superb and kind, straight news not a hate fest on either side.
I would give Ali five stars. Usually I am awake because my cat wakes me up for breakfast.
Informative daily news overview, and Ali is a great host.
I love Ali but do NOT dis my beloved Jonathan Lemire!
Replacing Lemire = great choice. Ali is so much better - smarter & more positive, less sports than Jon. The only change - please no more Brendan Buck, the troll who must be paying kickbacks to MSNBC bookers as he’s on most shows spewing proMAGA talking points. I fast forward over Buck & Michael Steele, who also pretends to be reformed.
