  • I’d rather listen to nothing.

    Privileged white woman bs. No one wants to hear the political musings of someone born with a silver spoon up her rear and has zero empathy for those that weren’t. Guests are boring and borderline embarrassing. I guess that tracks for John McCain’s daughter.

    Sometimes it seems good, balanced, centrist, and others a complete echo chamber. At least it’s somewhat entertaining and not rage bait.

    I used to love this show. I love a healthy debate and hearing perspectives that differ from my own. Ben as a guest is toxic, though. Less screaming talking points and more listening please.
