    Thank you for always giving us the real news every day! I especially enjoy you’re side show on Sundays where you dig deep into corruption scandals that are apart of news history. I look forward to your show at 4 pm every day!

  • Rules don’t matter?

    The guest defending Prince Harry, please come back and explain why he is allowed to break your laws, if he has a History taking drugs as he has said he shouldn’t be allowed to live in the USA, I understand if your argument is against that law but it’s not, it’s just anti Trump ( I am too) but it invalidates all your arguments about the country you supposedly want, if you just waive the rules for one person.

  • Jake goes to Fox!

    That’s a headline that would not surprise me in the future. Been feeling for a while that Mr. Tapper’s reporting has become more or more biased. Tonight’s episode was it for me. Unfollow.

  • Slow upload

    By the time the podcast is actually posted, the news is 3 days old. Episode available talks about an upcoming election… but that election was over 3 days ago. I give up. The podcast itself is great
