  • Blabbermouth

    I like Robby but they just keep pairing him with these awful co-hosts. His current cohost is particularly bad, so much so that I can only make it about 10 minutes in before giving up.

  • The juggernaut of Robbie

    Robbie’s views, like that of many a fundamentalist libertarian - is naive and simplistic. But then the pomposity makes the entirety untenable. Katherine Mangu-Ward has this issue too (not that she is in this show).

  • Replace Robbie with a central figure

    Sometimes the ability for people to watch rhetoric and situations fly straight over their head is remarkable… imagine thinking that the political landscape in terms of basic manners has not changed drastically with trump. Sounds like Ben Shapiro, same whine and inability to perceive more than half a perspective. Your show suffers because of this.

  • Robbie is Temu Tucker Carlson

    Half the brain, twice the smugness, none of the relevancy, and that’s pretty tough to say because I don’t particularly like Tucker Carlson.

  • Robbie is an fanboy

    Try listening again because I like the potential of the show, but what has become obvious is that Robbie is a Trump fanboy masquerading as a libertarian to appear intellectually curious. I’m no fan of the liberal voices on the show either, but at least they are who they say they are. Robbie is a model prototype of a certain type of younger male generated by the Trump movement. 1 star. I will check back in again later, I want this show to be good

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump says Canada wildfires 'POISONED' US air (Plus: Darline Graham RUNNING for Senate) | RISING
Q: What is the panel's read on the Canada wildfires issue and Trump's stance?
They see it as a provocative, self-interest-driven approach by Trump that risks harming longstanding alliances, contrasting with historically cooperative disaster aid. The debate centers on whether invoking tariffs and blame is productive or damaging to diplomacy.
Graham Platner ACCUSED of sexual assault (Plus: Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization) | RISING
Q: Joining us now to discuss the latest in the war is Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. Welcome back to Rising.

Trump signs MOU to END war in Iran (Plus: Jay Clayton DNI confirmation in limbo) | RISING
Q: So I know the first question on a lot of people's minds is how does this differ from Trump Rx?

He stresses the importance of practical, results-oriented reform that can gain cross-party backing.
