As an American who's obsessed with national politics it's refreshing to hear unbiased fair analysis of our crazy political environment. Thank you!

The economy question infuriates me because they are clearly missing the last year of Trump presidency where the country went into the toilet because of COVID, and Joe Biden has had to pull the country back. Also, where was the recession which Trump kept talking about?

That Lady Judge was awesome. God bless sensible America

I am an Australian, and ashamed with this broadcast. How can they be so totally out of touch with reality.
There is no conflict of interest. The jury will pass judgement. Both the Defence and the Prosecution have a fair crack at the selection process so suck it up. You don't know what you are talking about.

I knew trump is going to be first in something. You mean from all 45 presidents he is the only one ? Are you sure??? That can’t be. Maybe second? Would we give him “first” title. ??

The judge should be recused for donations, and would have to be under Australian law if it was here. It is not only actual bias, but the reasonable apprehension of bias, that counts.

I'd get windy if I ate a spicy beef curry and it was the first hot meal I had eaten in weeks...been there.
Walked through a study hall corridor at uni this one time at writers cramp. The gut flora got their first taste of a solid meal, there was a mad rush for floor space in muh colon like a Gaza emergency food relief queue. There was a rude noise, it surprised me I turned around. You could hear the shrieks, the gagging and gasps, the staggered footfalls, the desperate entreaties for help, somebody yelled "call Security!"
I had already found my class.

I’d like someone to explain to me how pointing out an obvious conflict of interest is “going after someone’s family” Chas has repeatedly said this both here and in PEP and I don’t think think it’s a fair argument in the slightest.

Alina Alina you might be pretty, … but 😅

[RoelofMalan]

Why do you discuss "polls" as if it's gospel. It is not accurate not true and misleads from the truth. ONLY IN AMERICA 😂😂😂

[judithjames]

So these women recieved substantial amounts of money tax free, to keep quiet and yet they didn't. Hmmm shouldn't they give the money back.?

[herballycorrect]

Please turn the censorship up to 11 I can still see my comment.
