  • Lost his grip on facts and data

    Ezra’s guests are often great, which is the only thing that’s kept me going for the last few months. I feel like Ezra’s surrendered his old commitment to facts and evidence and makes things up as it pleases him now. The commitment used to define him, but today I notice at least one afactual assertion from him in every episode now. I used to love this show but I don’t think I can tolerate it anymore.

  • Was silence not an option?

    Politics isn’t a game, you have officially gotten so out of touch with reality that you are part of the problem with the Democratic Party. Please go touch grass.

  • What A Bunch of Losers

    This guy is a putz. The world’s biggest anti-semites are Jews. He is a snob and a know nothing who spouts off the lefts nonsense constantly. Every concept is plagued with confirmation bias. Disinformation and misinformation.

  • Always delivers!

    Definitely the most relevant podcast on the state of our country. I always appreciate the way he relentlessly hits hard and continues to develop ideas of how to get our country back by finding humanity and common ground. He also isn’t scared of challenging the status quo and his political allies and I want everyone to listen!!

    He plugged nuclear energy so hard in his book it read like a commercial.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Rural Power Behind Trump’s Assault on Blue Cities
Q: Why are people in rural America electing different representatives now?
Economic factors, grievances with the Democratic Party, and perceptions of elite overreach have driven a shift towards more conservative representation.
The Rural Power Behind Trump’s Assault on Blue Cities
Q: Is the big political divide between rural America and urban America a constant?
No, the rural-urban divide did not exist nationwide in the past in the United States and began to grow starting in the 1990s.
Jon Favreau on Where the Democrats Went Right
Q: What do you think about the Democratic Party's brand being part of the problem?
Favreau acknowledges significant dissatisfaction among Democratic voters, drawing parallels to historical moments of party discontent that precipitated shifts in political landscapes.
Jon Favreau on Where the Democrats Went Right
Q: So your former colleague Brian Beutler wrote on a sub stack, quote, If we get health care subsidies without any new constraints on Trump's abuses of power, I believe we will come to regret it.
Favreau sees merit in this concern, arguing that while it's critical to alleviate premium rises for 20 million Americans, the Democrats also risk sidelining essential issues regarding Trump's lawfulness and his authoritarian tendencies.
Jon Favreau on Where the Democrats Went Right
Q: What are the two sides of the debate about whether or not to have a shutdown?
The argument is divided; one side believes causing the shutdown typically doesn't lead to winning outcomes for the party, while the other side insists it's a necessary leverage point against Trump's lawlessness.
