Michael respects peoples opinions regardless of their ideology.
Always insightful.
I watch this guy's show on CNN but followed the podcast because I can listen to it anytime, and it's a short 'bite' of the main show.

What’s the difference?
The difference is how the Media covers the two. The activists labeled Obama as the “Deporter In Chief” while the entire Liberal Media Ecosystem labels Trump as a Fascist Authoritarian. Remember, they’re still calling Trump “Hitler” and he got the Jewish Hostages released

Insightful and helpful. Figure it out for yourself
