“I have listened to your podcast and conclude that you are doing a disservice to our country. Your podcasts focus primarily on collecting and counting ballots. However you seem to continually avoid the discussion of issues that may have significant effects on elections.

“I am looking for answers to the doubts sewn by bad behaviors leading to distrust. This podcast lectured that all was fair, but still, the questions are not addressed.
Hope this made speakers feel good but it did not answer my questions. I’m still looking for answers.
Stop telling me to...”Read full review »

“Have listened to two episodes (intro + first full) and suspect Bill Whalen is turning in his grave (sic). Podcast dedicated to the phenomenon of election denial? Ok … but ridicule and “Italian satellites” … seriously? I hear the commitment to “both sides” but no mention so far of the...”Read full review »

“What in the Hades is the Hoover Institutuion doing having on the idiot-leftist-statist-communist Terry Moe? Why are you giving this person *any* time? If I wanted leftist diatribe, I would subscribe to the New York Times. I was subscribed to this podcast......now I'm not. Very dissapointed.”Read full review »

“Hopefully this episode is the outlier. Moe adds nothing of intellectual value, knowledge or utility. The first Hoover podcast that I found to be an utter waste of time. Even an excellent, well prepared and knowledgeable interviewer could not compensate for the guest’s failures on so many levels.”

“Terry Moe is a never Trumper who seems incapable of rational thought when ever he thinks about Trump. In the process he feels it necessary to denigrate anyone who doesn’t hate Trump as much as he does.”

“If you like to hear conventional thinking expounded on by establishment Republicans then this is the podcast for you. If you think these are not conventional times and that conventional thinking has a little utility, then I would look elsewhere for insightful information.”

“I listen to most of the Hoover podcasts. When I saw this one was titled “45” for the 45th President, I wasn’t sure I’d like it because, while I am a Conservative, I’m not the biggest Trump fan. But I gave it a try and was pleased to discover this really has little to do with the President...”Read full review »
