“John, this is bad-faith propaganda. Ritchie Torries brought what to the Michigan turnout? You got that bigot onto your podcast and didn't ask him how he's serving his constituents by spending so much of his time carrying water for AIPAC. And you conveniently left AIPAC's meddling in...”Read full review »

“This was the most reasonable rational explanation of Democrats loss last Tuesday. Lots of people in the campaign and in office need to be educated on the working class and race. Wish we could sit them done and make them really hear this. I would also say that some of older leadership needs to...”Read full review »

“Seth Moulton says the American voters are not stupid…..Nonsense!!! Even if every problem Moulton outlined about the dems was a fact, they are far better off with Harris than what’s to come under Trump. This was the easiest choice people could have been given. They were conned by a con man. ...”Read full review »

“Nice range of experts on this show- that’s why I listen regularly. I will say, Heilimann likes the sound of his own voice, but that’s remedied with the fast forward option”

In addition to thinking you’re one of the coolest and smartest media “personalities”, I love your podcast.

“I have followed you from the circus, guest spots everywhere and your own podcasts. This last pre election episode with Nicole Wallace was one of the most ignorant commentary I have heard so far. You talked for 90 minutes w/o ONE mention of how and why harris alienated so many voters. It’s the...”Read full review »

He is so insightful and witty; well-spoken and providing such depth, yet still completely relatable. He is entertaining and makes me smarter. I’m so grateful! Keep it up John, we...”Read full review »

Bateman talked about our fellow citizens respectfully but with alarm and dismay. I feel the same way - and I...”Read full review »

“John, the 2020 election polls were NOT wrong. The final poll before voting predicted Biden would win by 7.9%. After the count, he won by 4.9% - within the 3.5% margin of error. In votes, that turned out to be a little over 7 million. Kamala is up optimistically by 3%. Biden barely won because of...”Read full review »
