    Had to unsubscribe, the show is leftist unbalanced representation of the world view. No good dialog or truth seeking.

  • Overrated

    I used to love Lemon. But this show is cringe. He is constantly off mic - it’s bad quality for sure and he doesn’t seem to be prepared for every interview. Just trails off into these reactionary bubbles. Wish he was more focused.
