- Bill Ticks all the Boxes
Great show, great guests, funny, informative and as good as anything you’ll see or hear from either side of the pond. Let’s hope Bill does not get cancelled because he’s popular and clever enough to be a target.

Bill, don’t blame liberal professors for not having a conservative point of view. Conservatives tend to become CEO Titans, Wall Street money grabbers and anything else that will pay 1000 times more than being a college professor so start blaming the conservatives for not jumping on the bandwagon and becoming college professors.
