  • Narrow predictable topics

    I love a good faith debate but there’s so much bias in nearly every topic being outrage towards Trump. Why ignore the Jason Arday story? You could’ve paired it with the Darline Graham debate flub & discussed meritocracy, DEI, & it would have been a more balanced discussion.

  • Talking over each other

    I really want to like this show. It can be very frustrating to actually hear arguments though when everyone is just speaking over each other. I love Abby tho and the idea of the show.

  • Abby Phillip is amazing!

    I absolutely love Abby. I think she does an amazing job wrangling all the different opinions in. I think this is the only show where you can hear both sides. The only thing is some times I don’t think they have people who really have a strong grasp of the issues. For example on the 1.776 B fund. I think a lawyer really talking through it would be helpful given this began from Trump suing the government. I think having one person who is some sort of SME would add just one additional dimension to ... more

  • Mute/Buzzer Button Needed!

    I truly enjoy you and your show, and I appreciate the clarity and insight you bring to every discussion. However, one recurring issue makes the viewing experience challenging: certain guests consistently talk over you and other guest. Guests such as Joe Borelli — and especially Ben Ferguson — are frequent offenders. Even though Scott Jennings can be frustrating in his unwavering defense of the current president, he does not interrupt you and other guest the way those two do.

    A possible solution... more
