You made fools of yourself by playing clips of Tucker et al which completely disproved your argument defending election deniers. Snap out of it!

People I like like Matt Taibbi so came to check him out. But he doesn’t talk about Palestine because it’s too complicated? A colony that has been committing ethnic cleansing to create an ethnostate is really as simple as it gets. If he can’t understand this how could I trust that he has a brain or an ounce of integrity and want to hear more of his thoughts? Be serious dude.

Y’all are doing a great service. I am not on any social media, I watch a couple of trusted news networks and listen to podcasts. Yours is awesome!

Media from a non-partisan angle. Listening to this podcast reminds me how bitter, reactive and partisan cable news is. Matt is a real reporter. I appreciate his work a great deal in 2024 after all the media fraud of the last 10+ years.

Such a great way to look at media and American values of free speech. So appreciate how they offer their clear perspective. But dudes, you have got to bring the paid version here or make it easier to listen as a paid subscriber. I’m pretty sure my husband is going to get into a car accident trying to listen, pause, etc while driving. Please!

Love love love Glenn🇺🇾

Listening to your review and laughing out loud as I applied make up – yes, even to my nose – I start thinking how Woody Allen must have been familiar with the story. Imagine my self satisfaction when you soon brought him up. I am an repentant fan of Sleeper and Love and Death. Cloning the Great Leader’s Nose! The giant vegetable field! The early films are just as funny to me in my 70’s as they were to me in my earl 20’s. I learned a lot about the music of Prokofiev ( and many other composers). How on earth would I have ever heard of Alexander Nevsky otherwise? Or choked with laughter at ludicrous chase scenes accompanied by Preservation Hall Jazz Band? Kudos on the podcast; it’s brilliant to end with the short story segment.

I can only have so many subs in my life tho. But the first 30 minutes is always great !

A really Fun analysis, discussing the Republican presidential candidates!

Listened to the preview of the latest ep but it’s just them describing what happens in a movie for 30 minutes in excruciating detail. Maybe I should subscribe to find out how the movie ends.

I’m a subscriber but how can I access the subscriber feed? I don’t see a link in substack or the sub confirmation email.

two smart guys discovering once per week that the only thing that can save us from a vast conspiracy is Trump. if you like that tail you’ll love this show.

I love this show. I can’t go a week with out it. Thank you!!

It is so sad to see Taibbi’s arc into a full blown reactionary. It seems hating Dems is his only politics.

I'd rather read that you guys took a week off. This wasn't a take as much as a long-winded New Yorker opinion piece. Miss.

Love this PODCAST for unpacking critical issues. WALTER always drops a gem of a perspective into issues . on here for the last few hours because my wife just had our first child and I’m inside a lot more. Thanks MATT and WALTER for helping me survive early fatherhood. Listening to EP 46 now and reading Biden V Missouri !

Real news.

Could someone he believes in tell Matt to lose the vocal fry? It’s been getting out of hand, makes him sound like he’s faking it. Maybe that explains why on this episode I got the impression he was merely repeating points he’d read in a Post op ed or somewhere. Something has affected his originality. Affected his confidence? And now the vocal fry is so constant it distracts from listening to him. Thanks for reading.

On the last episode these guys talked about how a former President should never be able to be indicted and so dramatic that they thought they would never see this in their lifetimes and so sad the constitution and on and on. A few things here, you guys don’t even know what the 30+ charges are yet. nothing about this former President is normal and he’s broken a lot of norms himself, so why not another one? He is NOT president anymore, and therefore has no protections and is no longer above the law. He should and needs to be treated like everyone else. Why don’t you wait until you hear all the charges and all the evidence is brought and see him only through the lens that he is a regular person just like the rest of us, and then go into your histrionics once you have all the facts. Come on guys! Especially Matt being the decorated journalist that you are, you are both so above all this.

Walter Kirk has a great voice for podcasting and news. Well done before the committee yesterday Matt. Goldman’s and others questions were obviously posed to evoke unguarded emotional responses. You guys are tough cookies.

Matt Taibbi is an excellent reporter with lots of little wild experience. This is one of the best real news hard news podcast on the Internet. He’s fair and honest, and had enough courage to actually live in the places he reported on.

Matt and Walter tell it like it is. You need to listen!

This has quickly become my favorite podcast. They get right into it, and are fun to listen to.

Matt & his team is providing an unbiased view of what is going on in US policy and around the world.
