  • Good takes

    Your take on the Paxton crimes is dead on. Republicans don’t even try to hide their corruption anymore. Are we just dumb or brainwashed to keep electing these whackos?

    Republicans hate Democracy and the rule of law. But, they’ve tricked their idiot base.

  • The best talk show host!

    Ads and ad reading are so cringe. Jeff, post the whole show, offer a subscription for those who want the ad-free version. I’m still a fan but losing interest due to the ads.

    Jeff I’m glad you’re back, and I’m even more grateful that the old format hasn’t changed. I certainly do NOT miss the dead weight who contributed on your old show. I started listening to you when I moved to Austin in 2001, stuck on Mopac, your show made the drive bearable. Please post the whole show, I now live in a part... more
