Thank you Ilana for speaking to the Jews out here who are frustrated and upset with the loud voices who are not speaking for us (aka Debra Messing 🤮). Please keep spreading the word, you’re the best!
Mehdi Hasan AND Mark Ruffalo? This was a perfect episode. Listening to these two wonderful human beings gave me hope. The news has been horrifically unrelentingly and I have been so frustrated. After this episode, I feel rejuvenated, knowing there are so many beautiful people out there. We haven’t lost our humanity.
I agree with a previous review to slow down. We ALL LOVE IT when you crush it in a debate/opposing guest, but this is meant to be fun right? No need to answer for or step on other’s comments. You’re the best at exposing views, your guests/FRIENDS on this share them, relax & enjoy yourself. 🤷🏻♀️
Love you, miss you on tv …BUT! Please STOP INTERRUPTING so you can ANSWER YOUR OWN QUESTIONS. Yasmin Elhady is witty & insightful, but listeners were deprived of her comedic comments since you cut her off about 80% of the time maybe more. stop that please. We know you’re brilliant, let your guests shine some more.
