Disappointed
Apr 13
This is the first time I have wanted to call you. Jonathan Turley….do you research. Mom’s for Liberty…you have been hoodwinked. It takes barely 15 minutes to find out the truth about them and who funds them. Today you are a disappointment to journalism.
Leftist Cult

You people are sick and demented leftist cult members.
Stop already

For the live of god stop leading the show with the “cute” blooper intros. I’m not signed up for the witty banter. I’d like a professional rendition of the news. If you feel the need to air this material seemingly every day run it at the end. Sheesh. So self-absorbed. It’s about the news, not the anchors.
Be serious
6d ago
This is generally a good podcast. I love to start my day hearing the few issues that they talk about. The reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because they started doing this preshow banter and frankly it’s not very professional and I don’t care. I don’t care what kind of coffee you have. I don’t care how tired you are Just get to the show.
The Future: 1984-2073 Democracy Out
Apr 13
Reading and listening are my preferred learning modes BUT I came across a movie that deserves attention from all forms of media and journalistic integrity enthusiasts and First Amendment alarmist. The movie is “2073”, streaming now; watch real current and historical factual events and news clips woven into the story with alarming current day happenings, clearly written precise and accurate. I sat wide mouthed and out of breathe, unable to believe the clarity of mind. It’s not a warning. It’s not futuristic. It’s here now. Helpless to act, defeated. Democracy, Free Speech is dead!
Torturous Screeching Voice April 2025
Apr 13
You need to remove Ayesha Rascoe from the radio. Her screeching voice has ruined Sunday morning.
Half Liberal Propaganda/News
Apr 7
It’s a good source of news, but read between the lines. It’s a very heavily left leaning podcast. They will always present the story from the ultra liberal point of view.
Left of left
Apr 11
It’s left, way left. Too left. I had to leave so I left
Name the reality
Apr 7
I have been listening to your show and felt compelled to stop recently. The primary reason was your coverage of President Trump’s notion of a third term. Your reporting treated it as a very real possibility without naming the traditional constitutional understanding that presidents are limited to two terms. My frustration is your reporting feeding into Trump’s mania and rhetoric in a way that does not put it into question the lack of validity of the lies that he is telling.
Left leaning news!
Apr 4
I listen to you guys every morning because I want to get a balanced view of the news but lately you guys have been leaning so left thats It’s becoming hard to listen to. Report the news! Not your opinions or push your views.
