Judicious and even handed summary

Retired Senior Enlisted

Good to hear a very senior retired Flag have some deference to the conditions under which the Flight Deck crews work as contributing factors to a mishap. Helps to think through effective mitigation. Very level headed - hope someone gives thought to bringing in a voice like Adm Stav to help maintain “course and speed” when it truly matters. His voice has the fides to speak to the center and would help reframe the thought process on the right.
Come on Mike

D-Town Brother

I love the show. Hate the commercials lately. Terrible timing. In the middle of sentences. Where are the transitions? And just tell us to fast forward to 2:30 to get over the saturation of advertising.
Love pod, tired ads.

talk over each other

I watch Bill’s show for the same reason I listen to you, neither of you have a problem addressing both side of an issue I’m perfectly ok with Bill’s take on his visit, however I would have liked Bill have said at the end something about how can Trump not come across as a lunatic, yes his policies hurt people here and around the world Is also possible that Trump played him like a fiddle
