    Conversation with Rep Tim Burchett
    I’m disappointed in your weak questioning of the Rep Tim Burchett, why didn’t you ask him if he agreed on cutting benefits for the poor to give tax cuts to the richest people in this country that wouldn’t be able to spend all their riches in their lifetime or their children’s lifetime. Instead you asked, if he would support an extra tax on the rich, of course he would say no, that was a stupid question

    Plows a furrow of bias
    At times the show offers great perspectives on international affairs, but for US perspective, it relies on Democrat "reliables" such as Leon Pancetta, who does reliably deliver the left's bacon to the broadcast. While he and other Obama appointees have some value to share, reliance upon him as the horse's mouth for US intel or policy is extremely shortsighted and does no service to American or international audiences... or equines. Intel is already an old boys' network; can we have some different old boys, old girls, new boys, etc. to offer right and center context rather than the furrows the podcast continues to plow? Surely you have the cache to develop broader relationships and opinion.

    Great Platform unfortunately skewed
    I love most everything about this podcast except for their tendency to present what should be objective journalism in a skewed subjective narrative filled with partisan skewing. Unfortunate because it would be an excellent source of information. If you can weed through the bias - well worth the listen.
