Customer Reviews
Great Show with the Great Keith Ellison
Can’t wait to read AG Ellison’s book! Such an insightful & brilliant man. Excellent questions from you, Jonathan! I will never forget the line from the closing arguments in the Chauvin trial: George Floyd didn’t die because his heart was too big, he died because Derek Chauvin’s heart was too small!
As a footnote, I was a barista at a health food coop in Minneapolis when Rep Ellison was running for office and I had the great pleasure of serving him many times & enjoyed speaking with him. He’s very approachable & kind. He often used our little cafe area to work on his campaign.
I listen to all your shows Jonathan, keep up the excellent work! I love you & I love your Aunt Gloria!
Wes Moore
What a great speaker. I wish we had more politicians like him!
Love
I’ve just started listening to Jonathan’s podcast and am sold, 5+ stars, big fan. I’ve only heard 2 minutes and 45 seconds of the first episode with Michael Steele in 2016 so far and am drawn to the straight talking, truth telling, engaging dialogue. Refreshing to say the least. Jonathan’s a star xo
