A fine podcast if you like people who call themselves journalists giggling and softballing questions to Maga Republicans like Trump operative James Blair.
Interesting idea for an episode .. came across as sucking up to a self absorbed politician ..
I’m sad but both of you are much more interesting than this episode
Ask tough questions .. argue .. please
I was a bit disappointed with this interview because she did not speak on the real hard pushback of the First Lady M. Obama when she tried to bring health and dietary standards into the schools. Because that’s where kids see food outside the home. Where mom’s kitchen becomes so important. She didn’t bring that up.
Nor did she even mention the forever chemicals that will be found in our water. The Hudson River is first to have forever chemicals dumped in.
Why? Why?
This is become a platform for laundering administration talking points without any pushback. More interested in appeasing inside the beltway type, then actually providing lung form interviews to educate the public.
The show should be called Breakfast with Facists
