  • Done.

    Scott needs a reality—and humanity check.

    The fact that you didn’t gag as you said the revolting words that Palestinian children are “collateral damage,” is shocking.

    Voicemails & flyers?? Calorie trackers? Not only are you disgusting, you are factually incorrect. READ the formal definition of a genocide instead of “your understanding of it.” This isn’t exactly a “vibes” thing you sanctimonious & obnoxious tool.

  • Moral Barometer

    Say it with me Scott, Palestinian genocide in Gaza by Israel. Long time listener to Scott's stuff. I think I fall into demographic of listener that he's interested in cultivating because, while I disagreed with some of his positions, I found his perspective worth wrestling with. I can't move past this though. You're on the wrong side of history and if you're going to sanewash the Netanyahu government's actions then I don't know how I could trust anything else you have to say.

  • Republican “Moderates”

    Scott and Jessica coming out and admitting they wouldn’t vote for El Sayed is the exact reason Democrats are still going to lose in the midterms. Maybe this generation just isn’t willing to accept kids and woman are expendable assets when it comes to war. Maybe you should consider that position Scott. Also Jessica talking about “the five” like they’re her family is incredibly disappointing. Those people and Fox News have done more damage to the psyche of the elder generation than will ever be fo... more

  • If Scott wants to show us who he is…. Good. Fine. Bye! Scott!

    What has happened in Palestine, and is still happening…

    * Right in front of our eyes *

    is actually worse than the definition of genocide, that Scott so pedantically and sanctimoniously whined about.

    Not only did Abdul El Sayed make it a moot point, he made Scott moot as well.

    What the hell IS a “Raging Moderate” anyway?

    In Kansas, they’re still referred to as MAGA.

  • Disappointed but not surprised

    Scott and Jessica’s disposition on the genocide was so disappointing. El-sayed was amazing in answering their terrible questions. To say that children are just collateral damage and then to play the “what about it” ism (Jessica) in order to justify the government’s actions was disgusting. I’m out guys. Done with the guy who has creepy jokes followed by a creepy laugh.
