Excellent episode 👍
Steve Schmidt is a preacher who might have been without peer, had he chosen that path. We're lucky he's here in these moments! Thank you Mr Steele for two great hours of conversation with Steve Schmidt.
ok, I get it, but why do I feel like Steve is making some kind of sense? just my thoughts, respectfully
is Steve Schmidt okay? Found myself not following his logic and excessive movie references.
man... Steve has it wrong like they had it wrong about Palin. DeSantis will not be the nominee in 24. There are too many other who are alot smoother than that guy. he will be out as soon as they show the press conference he was bullying kids wearing masks.
So interesting. I really had difficulty following in the beginning of the episode but so glad I stayed with it. I want to know more. Thank you
Loved today's episode with Dr. Glaude!
I hope you're book has a prescription for saving our country. Is it the name of reputable, dependable arms dealers in my area? Many people still feel our constitution is divinely inspired. So, with God's help I think we will prevail
Thanks for this podcast. I just found it last week. This frustrated democrat voter gets it. I don't understand why they don't!?! I may have missed it but, has Shermichael Singleton been on your podcast? And Mr. Wilson I've been listening to The Lincoln Project since day 1. Can your team bring some of the LP magic to Texas? We have to get Abbott, and Patrick out of office, and Paxton (and his wife) behind bars. Keep Judge Lina Hildago in Harris County. She and her team were great on getting the vote out for the residents during COVID. Abbott and the Republicans were stunned. I extend the offer to you also Mr. Steele.
Excellent episode
Can I get Bobo's number?
I wondered after seeing that replay who would be so brazen as to do something like that on live TV? At the Oscars?! I wasn't thinking about Chris Rock's pain because I couldn't believe someone who craves public attention and rumored to be so so careful about managing his Public Image would do something like that. I later thought was that he was channeling his inner Richard Williams in protecting his wife. (Dang it, Jada should have been better too.) Maybe even simmering anger at watching Ketangi Brown Jackson be so disgracefully by the Senate. (!) Farting at the table, etc., is one thing but physical assault over the joke, the ribbing, is beyond belief. Several of Will Smith's roles were amazing to me, including King Richard because of the dedication and vision of these characters. Will Smith effed-up royally! I think he's got an outsized ego, but also something really unhealthy going on in his marriage. His wife is far too public about their relationship and her affairs! She should be blackballed right alongside him.
If republicans have the better ideas, then how does targeting Lynn Cheney with Jewish space lasers fit into your party’s platform??
tedious rhino
why.... oh why..... I could only listen for a few minutes to Christie. Sorry Michael.
💙💙💙💙💙✌️
This show is bullshit. Rick Ungar bringing up Ivermectin as though it is worthy of a serious discussion. “Oh studies have shown it to have some effect “! Big fucking deal! Studies have shown that hitting someone on the head with a bat will calm them down!
It must be horrible to be a Republican, having to suck up to an asshole like Donald Trump or 50 years ago, a prick like Richard Nixon?
Loved both Jason Johnson episodes! Really good
Make it a weekly special episode with The Good Doctor. Every Friday....
