Anthony Davis is one of the best podcasters on this team. I love his diverse insights and unfiltered facts he provides to the world. This and “unfiltered” on Wednesdays are my favorite shows.
The best of political podcasts!

Love your show & the diversity of the guests you have on. David Cay Johnston is phenomenal! I wish he could go on every news station in the country to educate people. I learned a lot from him & he validated many of my existing beliefs. Please have him back!
Vital podcast, and a question for Anthony and Dr. Lee

10/10/2024

This is a vital podcast, and I sincerely hope that it reaches an audience beyond those of us who are in agreement about trump’s mental unfitness. As a trauma therapist in private practice, I have greatly appreciated Dr. Bandy Lee’s insights. If she is on future episodes, I was wondering if she could address the mental characteristics of those who succumb to trump contagion and right-wing propaganda. For instance, my husband and I both grew up in families who have unfortunately been “converted” by Fox News, etc, however, we are clearly the opposite. I am sure there has been something written about this somewhere, but I was curious as to her perspective. Is it simply a matter of age, geography, sex, etc, or is it something more? I have highly-educated neighbors who believe the election was stolen, so I don’t believe that education is solid determinant either. Thank you so much and be well:)
