Best political podcast
Inspiring, funny, and informative are all words I’d use to describe this podcast!
1 star libs
Libs who aren’t partial, who are not funny and honestly just irrelevant.
One sided
In your latest podcast regarding the segment on Biden, you guys attacked him relentlessly especially on his performance at the debate with Trump and the interview with Lester Holt.
Donald Trump was given a pass by YOU GUYS just as Lester did.
Trump is TRAITOR to his country. Joe Biden loves his country and the voters love him for his achievements and his compassion.
You talked about Trump as if he had not been President before and the mess he created. Now he wants to be king and you guys are ok with that?
Screw you and your Podcast. I shall stop listening to you wanna be Trumpers.
