- Time to take a stand Alex.
Your interview with Abdul El Sayed has me thinking, why do you think we in America need to focus on a Jewish state? Why can’t we focus on our own country and make sure people are taken care of here? Israel can take care of itself.

Absolutely love your show! Disappointed I didn’t know of your Showtime show back in the day.

Keep fighting the good fight and thank you.

I have the suspicion that Alex wants to do more than one episode a week based on how EVERWHERE she seems to be. And I’m decidedly not complaining. Alex, you’re my fave!
