I love Michael Steele's perspective!
I'm in the process of listening to Mr. Alberta's book. I'm thankful for his insite to where the Evangelicals took a bad turn. I've got a friend who hasn't strayed from that "good old time religion."
I’d love to know what Mr. Steele calls Justice Thomas & Tim Scott, after he’s had a couple of Martinis and no one is taping his remarks…….. 😅😂🤣
Mr. Steele when on TV you should wear a neck tie. It makes you look more professional.
Isn’t the Trumper argument that we have a two tier Justice system stacked against them and trump, the exact exact same woke argument , which they despise, that BLM uses against the “two tier Justice system”??
Two items of dispute on the Christie (CC) interview and, admittedly, I'm in only 15:30 minutes of the cast: 1) CC speaks of "sane" and "moderate" Republicans softening the message to MAGAs about the 2020 election not being stolen. They, who are the self-professed hard rocks of American society, need to be coddled to realize and accept truth? GMAFB. 2) CC says that it is useless to wait for Iran to be reasonable. Look at the U.S./UK-initiated coup against PM Mossadegh in 1953, all so that Great Britain could maintain ownership and control over the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The result of that rapacious greed was the incarceration and slaughter of thousands of Iranians by U.S.-installed Reza Pahlavi, the culmination of which was the 1979 revolution. Take into account the three instances over the years in which serious attempts at normalization could have been successful if not torpedoed by U.S. arrogance, and you quickly find derisive CC's remark about Iran being "unreasonable".
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 b
If republicans have the better ideas, then how does targeting Lynn Cheney with Jewish space lasers fit into your party’s platform??
