“This podcast clearly demonstrates everything wrong with political journalism in one podcast! None of the reporters do their reputations any favors with their snark on full display. Narrative over facts is on full cynical display. This should be the nail in the coffin of three punditry careers. ...”Read full review »

“Will the American press give Trump & Republicans as hard a time as they did Biden & the Dems on the issue of age & competency?
American journalism is dominated by ratings & Republican talking points. Do better.”

“Based on your Podcast and how the Democrats have been impotent in gripping the reality that they are facing with a “limp” Commander in Cheese. Not to mention the drop in approval for the Commander and the ditzie VP…..they will most definitely lose the election. It is time that a true change in...”Read full review »

“It was genuinely shocked that this podcast does not consistently have five star reviews. You have three superstar reporters sharing their insights every week. Plus, they’re they’re funny and enjoy each other‘s company, which makes them a pleasure to be around. If I was in DC, or New York, I would...”Read full review »

“Joe Biden’s shuffling gait was a metaphor for the lostness of his verbal grip on reality.
A terrible performance that goes way beyond the parameters of a debate. It’s a copout to regard this crisis a a momentary performance failure.
It was a snapshot of his capacities today—unconstrained by...”Read full review »

“Have you ever heard of talking in an Echo Chamber?
How can you ever create discussion. When you continue to look at it from a hard left perspective? Wow.
Not a Trump fan at all, but this slanted discussion does zero to move the needle from where we are currently.”

But in discussion about how the Dems have had a failure of imagination about the abortion issue in which Jane mentions Hillary’s speech was 2016 and how the Dem party didn’t make it an important part of the election —- the blame needs to be laid at Bernie’s feet.
