    For God’s sake….
    If Lovett can go on Survivor, then one of you could take a few months to help steer the Democratic ship!
  • Che Block
    Lovett is great
    Let him finish a sentence you macho men

    Ageism
    Yes. You guys are guilty of ageism. Just so you know, you all look older than you did 4 years ago and even older than you did when you were the Obama bros. Don’t get me wrong, I love you guys but I do want to point out that getting older is what everyone alive not only experiences but aspires to. Please stop making old jokes. It’s just as disgusting as racist and sexist jokes. Something you will understand someday, Hod willing, in your future years.

    I Bought the Book!
    Amazon delivered my book yesterday. Not home to read it but I have it. I love this show, it’s witty, informative, and entertaining. It starts my day.
  • Create Nickname I Shall
    More entertainment than journalism.
    Been listening in for a few days years. This show always strikes me more as gossip and I don’t come away feeling informed or challenged. Ad hominem attacks, omitting facts and re-framing all over the place. I would recommend Ezra Klein for more of an intellectual and even keeled analysis or opinion.

    Tommy and Melissa
    LOVED this pod. Pair these two frequently!! 💙🩵💙
  • Bettie Bloodshed
    Love the show but
    Please stop using chat gpt and other ai bots. The use is horrific for the environment (besides the art theft). Be better.

    We get it you wrote a book
    Generally a good podcast but recently begging people to buy their book for 5 min in addition to having about 15 min of ads per hour plus trying to sell their subscription service. It’s getting way too much!!!
  • Lusearus
    Nothing original here, Recycled content.
    Too whiney for me. Wanted to give it a chance b/c I’m openminded but this just feels so whiney. Mainly recycled whining from the news outlets.
  • Tiny Heart Lana
    Dan Pfeiffer Can Do No Wrong
    Keep being a voice for the marginalized population ❤️
  • Slow down please
    Tommy, slow down!
    For the love of God, will you suggest to Tommy that he talk slower and enunciate when he is speaking. When I hear him start to talk too fast all I hear is blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah. and then I have to go back and think what did he say? OK, I might’ve been mixed up. I think it’s actually Dan.
  • christopher Vedeloff
    Smartest political podcast out there
    Great unvarnished take on everything political.
  • KJH🙄
    🏳️‍🌈💕♥️💜💙
    I love you guys!! You got me through the pandemic and I have listened ever since. Ok, yes I listen for free, Lovett! So I preordered the book!

    The rudder
    It’s dangerous out here. Experience, insight, and common sense prevails. Can’t give up. Too much to lose we don’t even know about. Stay steady.
  • damn__tam
    Wannabe insider
    Too poor to give an opinion as an insider but…Would it be a good idea if maybe we can see VP Kamala once in a while and give us a sense of insurance if anything happens? It’s somewhat hard to reconcile being mad about the Dobbs decision and the USSC with a seemingly lackluster support of the VP. Hope we see more of her!
  • ktwlks
    More propaganda
    Just like the fake news on TV. Just repeating all the main narrative talking heads and calling it something different. What trash.

    Great show
    Great show

    June 11 Episode
    Funniest hearing Jon catch up on news after coming back from deep space. only wish I could have heard his reaction to the Day of the Long Red Ties.
  • New York Democrat
    Talking about Tax Cuts
    Tommy and Jon Fav. talk about Tax Cuts like they “cost” something… that’s not how taxes work fellas. You probably mean reduced revenue? That’s not the same as an expense. Either you’re intentionally misleading people or you’re too uneducated to understand how taxes work. Stealing from people, even if a majority of people vote for it, is still immoral. Why can’t you understand that? Bribing poor voters with promised to steal rich people’s money is low hanging fruit, and should be illegal.
  • Dakotamoore
    Great IF this is your only source
    Very long time listener and will continue to be. (I’ve got your book preordered!) but wow you guys aren’t truthful anymore. I know it’s an election year but my goodness. You can listen to any news source (left or right) and see your exaggeration. Take a breath, return to earth and help us get through an election. Chill with your lying, you’re losing people who are laughing at us. I cannot even recommend this podcast DURING an election year. Just tell g people about votesaveamerica but to skip your pearl clutching. Sorry guys haha try meditation? I’ll see you in October
  • aericagirard
    Hilarious
    Updating Lovett on missing last month of headlines live in game format was a riot!
  • eia'epowne
    Pure Gold
    Do yrslf a favor! after listening to the 6/11/24, MTG: Jesus Was a Felon Too podcast, go to the PSA youtube page and watch at least the 2nd half of the show when Jon Lovett enters. His reactions and comments to all the news he missed while away and isolated somewhere unknown is pure gold!
  • AmberLeighRN
    Send Jon Lovett away more often 🤣
    Listening to Jon try and guess what news stories were real in the time he was gone for Survivor was the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. It was also so sad because getting hit with all of that ridiculous news at once makes me really absorb that we are living in such a weirdo timeline. Welcome back, Jon, to “reality”. 🤣😩

    How does this have 4.5 stars?
    My title says it all….
  • Brutpop
    Drop the profanity
    Gents: Very much enjoyed the podcast, but let’s drop the profanity. You’re both well-educated and articulate men, and English is a very rich and beautiful language in which to express yourselves. Using the f-bomb and other profanity does nothing to impress your listeners or, most importantly, convince undecided voters. A. Lluberes

    I tried I really did
    The absolute hypocrisy of this podcast is stunning. I try to listen to all view points and will continue listen to all opinions but this show is just awful and full of false information and blatant lies. It’s disgusting, the right wing has shows like this as l and they are also awful. Just be truthful, that’s what the people want, but this is just an echo chamber of false narratives
  • Wsmuller84
    One of the best
    A great podcast for keeping up with the political news you need to know.
  • Danny_57665
    Just a bunch of liberal propaganda
    I was hoping this would be a balanced podcast to hear new views. Unfortunately this is just another platform where ultra liberal white guys love everything Biden and hate everything Trump. It’s basically reading the New York Times.

    Human bobbleheads
    If anyone wants to know what the wine lounge on the titanic sounded like while it was sinking, here ya go.
  • Ms. Nubian
    Biden Border Action
    It’s interesting you keep low hitting potential voters by saying they don’t get their news from traditional, vetted media. You’re not on TickTock or are muted cause you’d know it’s just a bunch of kids. All generations are represented, even some Boomers. There’s also independent journalists. Some that were laid off from papers and some who are invested in politics. Continuing to demean voters who don’t get their news from “traditional news” just alienates. One of those “traditional news”, recently got busted for the lie heard around the world about H graping and beheading. Generally you guys are on point but this needs to stop
  • Master445
    Best Pod out there
    Great show. These guys have wonderful chemistry. Even the ads are entertaining. I’m waiting for the episode thanking Stormy Daniells called Porn Save America.
  • BGDem
    Dismantle the FBI?
    Love this podcast! Just checking, are Republicans aiming to dismantle the FBI? At a time when Russian and Chinese state-sponsored hackers have made attempts to take down our electronic infrastructure? When international criminals regularly take our corporate data hostage for millions? Please, get the word out that Republicans intend to destroy our government and its ability to aid our safety. Thank you so much for the amazing hard work accomplished at Crooked Media.
  • Lunatopia Productions
    Emotionally cuckolded propaganda
    Can you imagine hating your own country as much as the producers of this train wreck of a podcast? Laughable.
  • TopBoy52
    Simplisafe
    If SimpliSafe is so great, why is Lovett the only one who has it?
  • A UK fan
    An interesting and menacing fact?
    When Hitler was sent to prison for 5 years in 1925 after his first failed putsch (coup) - he wrote Mein Kampf - his prison number was 45!
  • Betty in AZ
    Trump Guilty!
    Thanks for the bonus PSA episode. Great to hear Norm Eisen’s first hand account.
  • Mmmmmmmm121212
    Immunity
    How come no one talks about the idea that if trump wins the immunity case before the Supreme Court, that would mean that Joe Biden could show up at the debate with a gun and nursery Donald trump. Why doesn’t anyone ask trump about that.
  • janeus87
    My favorite podcast
    Listening to you all throughout the week is the highlight of my week. Thanks for making the subject matter relatable and funny. Appreciate all that you do!
  • CTnzr

    Water carriers
    For Biden and the establishment. Listen to The Young Turks if you want actual news.
  • Rev. Heng Sure
    Inspiring and galvanizing
    Jon is putting all his learned skills and personal convictions into this season of The Wilderness. Listen up!
  • Part-Time Barbarian
    Trump Obsession
    Every podcast has Trump in the title and is about Trump…what would y’all talk about if you weren’t allowed to talk about him for even one day? That’d be an interesting podcast. Maybe your dad lefty audience loves this but for someone closer toward the center, this gets old.
  • Babs2022
    Pod Save America
    Do not sleep on this entertaining and thoughtful show that keeps a pulse on what is going on in our country!
  • Billybill1984
    Right?
    Ask “right?” more. It really makes the point.
  • Debdenwoo
    Republican’s contrception
    Love this podcast. Love the hosts One question does tRump contraception control include condoms and vasectomies
  • Bexterjohn
    The best stuff is NOT behind paywall
    I LOVE all the free shows and podcasts
  • Hiwasko
    Love the pod cast
    I am a faithful listener of the pod and love your conversations and analysis particularly during these very stressful times. I am hoping that you can do one thing though. Can we all not refer to Trump‘s post on truth, social as truths? can we just refer to them as Posts if they must be mentioned? Donald Trump and truth do not belong in the same sentence. Thank you and keep up the great pod!
  • august dog
    Why help trump?
    Come on, guys! I love you, but why let Norm give trump’s lawyer any help?
  • Katgeary
    Like not love
    I understand that none of these fellas are journalist but perhaps we bring one on. I listen to this show to get updates on the news not only the election. I have been skipping episodes at least once a week or FF through episodes when they are just all about polling, give us news.
