More of this please

There is an audience for respectful conversations between Democrats and Republicans. Our country and democracy would benefit enormously if we had more of this and less of the vilification and demonization that has consumed our politics in recent years.

CNN "star"

Stewart groveling to the GQP is why she is a star in the new train wreck that CNN has become. She'll do well on Faux-lite......but no one will be watching

Cam from Central Park ,

Thank you both 🥳

I’ve been listening for a while and I love it. Because I am an independent voter. I need both sides. I love your show please keep it
