I like the quality of the topic and the timeliness of the topic.  the review seem to be non-partisan.

anyone who's hating on commentary and coverage like this wants to storm the capital deep down in the pocket of dead tissue where their heart and sense of patriotism used to be

Huge fan and wish it was on multiple times a week.

They just tell the facts without intersecting their own opinions. if cable news did this, this country would be better off.

just facts

I wish they'd stop padding this with listener time stamps opening each episode and the can't let it go segments on Friday.

good summary with some filler

I'm in the Army. Multiracial. I found the story of the West Point veteran as a far outlier and not typical of any officer in the Army, of any race or gender. people should not use that story as a "call to arms". The overwhelming majority of officers in the military, over the past 20 years, treat people fairly and equally. We see people, not color or race. Don't be swayed by outliers -- thinking that that is the norm. Opportunities exist equally for all.
