  • Format is too long

    I think they have good views and they are very well informed. I don’t disagree with their conclusions, but they repeat the same thing way too many times and their ad placement is terrible (cutting in the middle of a sentence).

  • Losing the plot perhaps

    Please speak more about how our country is turning fascist instead of all day every day talking about Israel! And for goodness sake just because y’all & Tucker Carlson agree on Israel’s horrible deeds doesn’t mean you should platform hateful people like him.
