- Losing Credibility
Five Stars for your show and you’re right to criticize Netanyahu but you’ll quickly lose all credibility if you ever again pay tribute to a Pro Iraq War Pro Putin Hateful Anti Immigrant ScmBag like Tucker Carlsen. Tony saluted Rubio. You can cover the right wing divide without paying tribute to Tucker.

Appreciate you guys recognizing that Zohran Mamdani is Democratic rising star and that he’ll go anywhere to share his vision to help New Yorkers. Right AOC has been rising as well but you missed Jasmine Crockett who has stayed in media

If the coverage of Taylor Swift was excessive, this must coverage of the coverage was, too.

As usual, when discussing healthcare, Mr Pudhoretz demonstrates a stunning lack of knowledge...ignorance. For example, mocking an RFK reference to mitochondria, mitochondrial myopathies, and mitochondrial dysfunctions which are a thing… medically and scientifically.
Ignorance.
