Thank you PBS for actually conducting an interview. That’s rare across every platform and station. Major props to PBS. This is what people want!

[BobSmith-iqoo]

I like how interviewer does not interrupt at all

[blue_diamond_gem]

This a damn good interview series. The interviewer actually gives its subjects time to properly articulate their points. It’s not the gotcha, misrepresenting or outright lying that most of the media likes to do.

[mrjesabi]

I've watched a number of these videos now and they're great, it's amazing how much more information you get when the interviewer doesn't have an agenda. Or at least has the ability to be a professional.

[susanl]

The series of interviews made in conjunction with "Zero Tolerance" reflect what journalism should be. Thank you for giving a fair hearing to the interviewees.

[tyson]

These interviews have been great I’m impressed how PBS got so many different perspectives. The interviewer wasn’t biased and antagonistic like the rest of the mainstream media it was refreshing.

[SunshineSurfsup]

Bravo to Frontline for this interview series... Well done, well balanced...allows the listener to decide. This deserves an Emmy.

Thank you PBS for this series. This interviewer’s insightful questions, courtesy and professionalism is a welcome respite from the current menu of interruptive condescension from the narcissistic mainstream.

[scarlet]

Thank u PBS for actually engaging in reporting and interviewing a person and letting him talk rather than chopping it up, editing the words & delivering soundbites.

[ogates]

Thank you PBS for finally allowing people to comment

[conorkennedy]

These Frontline full interviews are some of the most facinating items on YouTube. I've literally listened to hours of them in the last week. I don't agree with Mr. Lewandowski on most things, but he's clearly an articulate man with clear beliefs. I will listen.

I stood in line for 12 years legally with over $12k in attorney fees and am brown. Illegal aliens, including their kids, should be sent back to the line and come here legally like me.

[moons]

I can appreciate Corey's world view (I don't agree with it). I also appreciate him answering his questions honestly and not shying away from them even though they're very specific.

[robertboyle]

If an immigrant has an MS-13 TATTOO i dont think he is one of the best and brightest!

[Russellsplant]

This is an excellent, balanced series of interviews on the Zero Tolerance documentary. Thank you for putting out the full interviews.

[cattycorner]

We need immediate Immigration Moratorium- INCLUDING H1B Visas! We must have a pause to get our s*** together.

[lucientaar]

Not enough was done on immigration in the last three years.

[AnnaLVajda]

Corey is spot on People wanted a fighter with good instincts. Trump is smart too.

[dutchpy]

"Congress doesn't do What about the by whom? as a real Conservative it is difficult to listen to "GOP's future" and see the lack of political skills and diplomacy.

[elaineteut]

Corey is a smart and articulate guy. I love how he stood up to the Democrats in Congress when they called him in. Great interview.
