Had to finally unsubscribe due to ongoing political bias and terrible guests. Gavin Newsom - really? It’s hard to believe this podcast is a part of MK Media.
Terrible interview with Freedland (who cannot pronounce Kamala and says “Carmella” all the time). You let him move about in his criticisms without properly taking him to task.
I just gave up…in fact I’m giving up on your whole program
These are interesting segments but not suited to this medium. I feel like I’m having a Wall Street Journal editorial read to me from beginning to end and I could just be reading the newspaper instead of listening to a podcast. No back-and-forth. Just one man dictating to you like Cronkite.
One thing I don’t like is that he goes on at length several times in each podcast about how to access the podcast. It is 2026 and we know how to get podcasts, especially the ones that we are already listening... more
Right Mark, we need to show empathy just like the Democrats did to Republicans during Biden’s four years. Lots of chutzpah next up!
I first listened to you on the Drill Down yesterday and was impressed with your ideas. So, I added your podcast to my list. Then, l listened to your post Trump State of the Union podcast.

I vote for Trump to prevent the Democratic candidate from winning. Otherwise, I despise the man.
The fact that you aren’t able to admit you were overwhelmingly wrong ... more
