  • Aug 24 what happened in first gop presidential debate

    Predictable let the status quo prevail questions & commentary. The country has been failing for the past 24* years due to the business as usual congress & presidencies. Viveck is the only one to call it out. Biden & Dems have accelerated the pace

  • Very Good

    Exceptional, but far too infrequent. I do appreciate the longer episodes with the star studded panels, those have been great. If we can’t get episodes often, then I’d enthusiastically vote for this format. We don’t get any Brookings expert panel podcasts anywhere else; how about here? That’s where Brookings is missing out to the competition. As an aside, Ms. Pita has enviable diction, and is just top notch.

  • Jan 13 voting

    Commentary fails to address the state judicial voting violations in the 2020 election. Also fails to note specifics of state legislation being put in place to correct the 2020 state overreach. One sided presentation - not helpful or enlightening, more
