“This podcast which presents itself as using conversation to find common interest, however Van somewhere along the way decided that his beliefs only mattered as much as they served his ambition. Now stands for nothing other than what advances his brand. When integrity is negotiable there is no...”Read full review »

“Letting someone like Matt Schlapp come on and spout nonsense with absolutely zero fact checking or pushback is just furthering his agenda. There’s no way to find understanding with these people if they’re blatantly lying, and proud of their hypocrisy and pretend religious conviction. Every...”Read full review »

“about election deniers running for office, and turns it into a “race” question. He acknowledges that racism has been an issue for voting in the past, but can’t answer what Van Jones says a huge concern for progressives: election deniers running for office. Then he positions Republicans as the...”Read full review »
