  • I tried…still can’t.

    I do not like Laura Ingraham, but would you please learn to pronounce her name correctly? You are an attorney, I believe. Have you never heard the word Calais before?

    Pronunciation counts!

    I very much enjoy your podcast, but find it condescending for you to constantly be referring to your audience as the Midas mighty. Also, Michael Cohen calling people brigadiers is condescending. Don’t cheapen your product.

    This is straight up resistance porn but it definitely satisfies an itch when needed. But it shouldn’t be a podcast-really only works in video format for many of the clips.
