  • Resentful

    Was she always this resentful and terrible to other women? She interrupts people to the point of hostility. Why is she inviting guests she hates?

  • Lisa Murkowski

    It was disappointing that Katie Couric seemed to let Murkowski off the hook, it was a chance to ask her some hard questions and hold her accountable for her actions. I generally love this show and understand bringing in different viewpoints, but it seemed like her interview was just giving her a platform to sell her book.

    Your interview with Jazmine Crockett was excellent; she is a rock star but very relatable.

    I did feel you were looking for a different answer about her support of President Biden and I was so happy to hear her reply.
