I think Joe Biden has Parkinson’s disease. I am wondering why this has not been discussed. It a disease that affects speech, sufferers have trouble initiating actions. Great podcast guys An Aussie.

I have followed Mona Charen since she wrote for National Review. Completely fearless, savy, and quick, she hosts a fantastic podcast. ¡Mona 2024! My only suggestion: tamp the brakes on all the Mika Brzezinski-like sighs. Kinda - no very - annoying.

I turned off the current show at the first commercial break today and realized that incessantly hysterical fear mongering is detrimental for everyone’s mental health. BTD holds itself out to the public as “a political roundtable where guests discuss news of the week in a respectful, rational...Read full review »

How can it be that supposedly tuned-in commentators NEVER cite the scientific critiques of Haidt’s book and the Surgeon General’s recommendations on the above listed subject? Disagreement with those alternative perspectives is fine, but leading listeners to believe such non-ideological...Read full review »

The Bulwark is amazing but let's be honest: this is a show by Boomers for Boomers. The analysis the host and guests make is typically wise (as in 'with age') and repleat with insight but their conclusions are typically disconnected from modern society. Gen X listeners may find some...Read full review »

The Gerald Ford Presidential Foundation is doing exactly what one should not do when facing the threat from a tyrant. The board showed great cowardice by declining to honor Liz Cheney because it is afraid of retribution from Trump if he returns to power. Great conversation with David Hume...Read full review »

Todays episode left me feeling tense and frustrated, and that’s all down to the way Mona handled herself in the last ten minutes. That was the antithesis of why people come here to listen to people with different viewpoints. Usually a great show. Not this one.

If you want to hear a bunch of moderates hand wring, predict doom and nitpick Biden for everything from Marijuana to not being pro-Israel enough, this is your show! Whiney hand wringing whiney whine whine “Errr I beg to diifffeeeerrrr sir” I’m sorry they make me want to puke. Being a constant...Read full review »

Let’s all remember that the culture of hate and anti-Semitic and anti -islamic acts have been on the rise all our the country since Trump took office. No wonder students has added hateful rhetoric to their legal protests.

This show should be required listening for all Americans. Knowledgeable panelists that provide a range of nuanced opinions, always based in reality. The composition of the panel leans a bit to the right, but none of them are blindly partisan. Keep up the great work, Mona!
Jimmo3000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/24
Used to be a very good podcast. But. Has been found out and badly compromised by analysis on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Simplistic, one-sided, lacking any nuance, no Arab-Americans as guests, let alone any perspectives from Gaza itself. Worst of all, lacking in any empathy for human beings that...Read full review »

Stimulating conversations and they don’t always agree. That’s ok! It’s important to share one's own view and hear different views.Read full review »
Mcsh1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/24
I listen to the first five minutes of this podcast as it was recommended to me from The Bulwark. It starts off with an absolute lunatic talking about how 23% of black voters are going to vote for Trump and Biden’s campaign is not fraying, but, “collapsing”. Clearly, there is no intelligent...Read full review »

Finally! I have found a group of educated thinkers that share their opinions and knowledge in a rational, civilized and respectful way. Great quality content which tries to make sense, in the best possible way….. of today’s political circus. The listening is very enjoyable and because nobody...Read full review »

A thoughtful show that routinely dives deeper into the headlines of the day than many other pods/news sources.

I love the differing opinions. It’s a shame more Americans don’t listen . Thank you .
Maek@J via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/24
As a moderate Democrat, who pays close attention to politics, I find this podcast to be excellent. Mona’s regular guests are insightful and occasionally funny, and she brings in others like Tim Albertson, who are extraordinarily well informed. There was a time when I would not have been...Read full review »

I listen to quite a few excellent podcasts but this is hands-down the most substantive and often, my view point is different and it makes Me rethink if I’m disagreeing with this panel. I’m a former-liberal Republican, who left the party in 2015 in disgust about Trump. This pod always leaves me...Read full review »

Having a panel with a spectrum of thoughtful educated ideas and opinions is very much appreciated and calming in this time of turmoil.
Bobo A Gogo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/24
This is probably where I experience the most right wing policy of Bulwark and it is informative even if I don’t always agree.
Maggie Goldman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
Beg to Differ is always informative and sensible. I wish all Americans were so sensible and informed as the commentators on this podcast.
PennieGretchen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/24
Great podcast. Bill, if anyone wanted to actually stop illegal immigration they would arrest the mostly WHITE MEN that hire them. It’s so ridiculous this isn’t brought up. They come here because there is a big Help Wanted sign up at the border. Why do you think Sarah Huckabee is letting CHILDREN...Read full review »

I have come to love this podcast. It is so refreshing to listen to intelligent people discuss politics and issues in a mature and respectful manner even when they “beg to differ”. We need more of this type of sober discourse in our politics today.
Aimer2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
Great discussions, led by Mona Charen, which avoids the echo chamber by actually seeking out different viewpoints, in a balanced and respectful way. The highlights/lowlights section means that even when identifying low points of the weekly news, there’s always a balance in finding the good too.

Nicky Halley’s gaff …. Note: Donald Trump and Joe Biden are merely a few days over 550 days apart, I’m tired of hearing about Biden’s elderly age…

Polls are not a Vote. Just look at 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023 but only AMERICA sells a poll as a Vote
Dardyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/23
Mona and her guests are in complete denial of the ongoing genocide that is currently happening in Palestine. More than half of Americans are displeased with the Biden administration’s support of Israel as it commits mass murder and ethnic cleansing but for some reason, this podcast seems to be...Read full review »

This podcast and its cousin, the Bulwark, keep me from falling off a cliff into despondency. I sometimes disagree with all four panelists but, even more often, I learn from them.

Great discussion and wow great to hear ideas being planned!
Miller Susan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/23
While I often find myself disagreeing with the opinions they express, the host and guest always present their points concisely and smartly. Mega respect to Ms. Charente and the top-caliber guests she invites onto her show

What an excellent discussion of this week topic of masculinity/ evangelicals in our current politic landscape. I truly enjoyed it. Great podcast, incredible invites and host.

Imagine that! A politics podcast of thoughtful, insightful, respectful, rational, non-hyperbolic, non-polarizing conversation.
