    This looks bad. Based on what you have said publicly or sadly misinformed as to the fact that already exist about this. I figured somebody like you with the fact that before saying what you did. I think this just proves that you are a “grifter”. I fold your work since Philly but now, You’ve lost my support too.

    Stephen A as a podcaster might not be Joe Rogan or Megan Kelly… yet….But he’s well on his way! I so appreciate him tackling opposing views on serious political issues with the last example being that of Candace Owens and Jonathan Green Walt. Outstanding interviewer!

  • Marco Rubio

    I always enjoy your show. Your interview of David Falk was great. I respect your take on Megyn Kelly, at least in this situation. Your episode on Marco Rubio, however, gave me pause. In it you say that Rubio is in charge of our defense and our intelligence. He’s really not. He’s the chief diplomat. You also pointed out that Trump is in charge now. Well, the three branches are equal, and a senator has no duty of subservience to the President, let alone a cabinet member. In fact, a senator’s j... more
