    Ari Melber x Peter Navarro: the 1st WH Aid affiliated w/1/6–in Fl Prison
    When Trump knew He had the power of the Office—He didn’t pardon Navarro/Others for Their Plan…..Navarro went to a South Florida Prison FOR THIS STINT in defiance of the Select’s Subpoena…We are in limbo/delayed, no due process/Trial of the Former….or Bannon/Trump’s GA Rico Lawyers/Rudy—I cannot help but to wonder, if the Supreme Court circumvents the Judiciary and grants Trump, Immunity—would that mean ALL that broke the law on 1/6 and after—would also be immune?…absurd as THIS untested self clemency sounds and the wave thereafter—what if the Supreme legitimized pardons as Immunity?…Trump without the Office, IS putting the squeeze on The Supreme..much like formality of the VP on 1/6! As Ari drives Home=Pardons are for Criminals—could be that in the Justice Extremists FRAMING—Society is supposed to believe the same Court that “legally” took away Our Rights, CAN FINISH THE CRIME=Steal Our Democracy *residual effects? What do You wake up in a sweat for?

    ari is behaving like a d**k. this poor guy, brian butler, is just a regular guy not a trump lawyer or a trump loyalist and therefore ari you shouldn’t treat him so aggressively and trying to corner him into saying something that could jeopardize his court statements. He is just a regular guy trying to do the right thing ari and thusly that is why i am calling you a major D**K!

    McConnell - the perfect example of most Republicans
    They’re all the same. It could be Idi Amin, Hitler, or the Devil himself, if there’s an (R) after the name he gets their vote. Not true with a Democrat, just ask Al Franken or any of the others who have broken their oath or the moral standard we live by. They will not knowingly be allowed or elected by our party. We will suffer a loss for our ethics. We will live by that code to the end.

  • Kaixadepandora
    Ari Melber you are awesome.
    I love Ari Melber. He is such a gentleman. As an interviewer he is the best. Yet, his cultured comments shows him at his best.

    Who if not Biden? Jon Stewart? The editor of the Economist?
    Biden’s administration governs so well Amazing SOS Blinken and AG Merrick Garland and Secretary Yellen etc etc We’ve been so fortunate

    The GOAT
    I just heard Ari close his interview with Eric Holder with a quote from HOV off the top of his head. Ari is the Michael Jordan of news!

    Review
    I’m a concerned citizen. I value the communication skills Ari exhibits when he explains what is happening in the political scene. His ability to pinpoint what is important and therm explains it in an undesirable manner. I watch many other news shows and wonder why the host can’t explain the situation well. When this has happened repeatedly I can’t give credit to the show writers as I once thought. It’s clear that Ari Melborn has an exceptional talent. Why isn’t he repeated in the late night like other shows. Other voters need to hear him. Please consider giving him a better time when the viewership is greater. We have a critical election upcoming for president of the United States. Trump election would be a problem for the continued Democracy of our country. MSNBC owes it to our country to put critical thinking to a greater audience so our country might have the information needed to make an informed vote.
  • Wisscrabbler
    Love it but 1 suggestion!
    Love your show. I highly recommend we STOP saying “threat to DEMOCRACY” & instead say “threat to constitution” or to “the republic”. A LOT of people directly associate ‘democracy’ with the Democratic Party. I know it’s hard to believe but it’s very, very true. Iowa is such an example. When someone says “threat to democracy”…a lot of ppl think that means the democrats!!!

    Ari’s response to Colorado AG shocking
    After the news that the U.S. Supreme Court was going to take up the quesion of the legality of Trump being removed from the Presidential ballot, in response to the Colorado AG’s justification for her decision to complete the legally required process to remove Trump from the ballot, Ari essentially told her that she should be careful what she says! He explained essentially that what she says could result in a dangerous response! First, the AG is a brave and patriotic woman who felt compelled to honor the oath she took. I’m insulted that Ari implied that she wasn’t clearly aware of the danger involved in doing the right thing. Second, if we don’t stand up now and do the right and just thing, when should we!? Tragically not enough people were willing to stand up to danger before WWII and the Civil War. Who’s going to be around to clean up our mess!? What country is going to accept us as migrants when we need to escape the tyranny of a dictator?

    Trump accepting foreign money not a surprise
    I'm glad to learn the facts behind Trump's ill-gotten gains but unless his Republican opponents start throwing mud at him, liberal media tarring him with these facts won't impact his ratings.

    Katie Phang
    Katie Phang is the best sit in host ever! I’ll give the show 5 stars for the days she hosted, otherwise the show with Ari is disappointing. I would love to listen to news without a Democrat slant all the time through three shows, though much respect to Nicole for making the news a priority rather than politics. The news can help politics, but forcing views onto the listener makes you want to skip the entire podcast. The only times I listen is when Katie is hosting. And Ari mentioning how many times the VP invites you to parties is really 🤮🤮

    Let your guests speak!!!
    While I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to your show, please allow your guests to answer the questions posed to them before interrupting them. Your guests are all experts in their fields and it’s very helpful to get their insight on the topics at hand. But it’s very annoying when you’re constantly interrupting them before they can answer the question.

    Enjoy the show but…
    They continue to run THE MOST ANNOYING commercial ad I have ever heard. When a break begins I run to my phone to fast forward past the ad. It’s so bad I have no idea what they’re selling. Please tell that sponsor to find a better ad.
  • Burdyblue
    Great interviewing skills
    Loved the Liz interview. Thanks.
  • PDX Grandmother
    Scheduling Timing Guests
    Please give your guests enough time to answer the questions you ask before the interruptive phrase about running out of time is said. That phrase can be disconcerting to me as a listener. Your invited guests and their perspectives are an important part of your show. They generally have very useful information to share. Your thoughtful and legally based intelligent responses finish up nicely, and are your gift!

    A Gaetz too far......
    Inviting Gaetz back on to spew his lies & right-wing bull resulted in my giving Chris Licht-less CNN another try. Better coverage of Gaza escalation, so I appreciate the impetus. I'll still be loyal Nicole Wallace/Lawrence O'Donnell fan but combined with never seeing/hearing Andrea Mitchell geriatric mumbling, my MSNBC viewership is over
  • UpScience&Truth
    Like it more with Ari Melber
    I found your perspective authentic and faithful to the job your should do in your position in the society. Is simple if everyone just do his job the best way possible the world around us improves exponentially. Of course it is just a theoretical approach but like our dream guide us that dream is also valid. Just a general comment that I would like you to consider and if so, divulge and let expand, In may view the best play to select as Speaker of the house is Liz Cheney… it would be really unifying!! Don’t you see it likely? Thank you so much!!
  • LaraGen
    Thanks for
    having Howard Dean on. He always speaks the truth in a straightforward manner. Would like to hear more from him. Thanks, Ari, for focusing on Fani Willis - she’s a hero. Appreciate your calm, fact-based presentation everyday.

    Melissa Murray
    Melissa Murray is a fantastic hostess of this show. I always enjoy her as a guest and she excels in the interview chair.
  • Courrious
    Legal questions?
    Please ask General Mark Milley: WHy the U.S. military court martial trump? They can use Fort Leavenworth to lock up EX Commander and Chief. trump’s secret service can stay on Post at Fort Leavenworth. trump is a Vietnam draft dodger. A privileged Rick kid, had an in grown toe nail. he owes us Vietnam Veterans 365 days. 365 days is equal to one Vietnam tour.

    Podcast lag time
    What is up with the lag time in dropping MSNBC prime time podcasts? In this rapid-fire news environment, last night’s news will be passé in 24 hours.
  • VQuarter
    Here for it all
    I look forward to Ari’s analysis of the current political news. I am also hear for his genuine pop culture knowledge and the respect for rap, rappers and it’s message. Keep it going! Ms. V

    Top notch political coverage
    I could do without the pop culture referencing and pop culture interview specials, but at the end of the day, Melber’s political coverage is the best and unmatched.
  • 53Kristy68
    GREAT SHOW!
    Really enjoy this show. Feels like we are given objective, factual information. Really enjoy when John Flannery is a guest.

    Pete
    Love your show and you kept real all the time so continue to do that work and hold all these people feet to fire that want to destroy this great country this is the land of opportunity which I came to so keep fighting what is right putting it out these for the power because truth matters .
  • JesseKBarron
    Always a good show
    Melber has the rare ability of being able to inform in-depth while also entertaining and injecting humor at just the right moments. I’d wager that what you see is pretty much what you get with this guy.
  • Motamanx
    Why?
    Why is it so difficult to send a note to Ari Melber? He makes it seem like the easiest thing in the world, but no. It’s problematical.
  • Lucy2001
    Skip Peter Navarro
    Normally I like this show but the interview with Navarro was ridiculous-the guy won’t shut up & just pushes misinformation. Had to turn it off-we’ve heard Peter’s crap before. No reason to give a platform to a Trump clown.

  • valiant voter
    Facts are appreciated
    In these turbulent times, competent,calm legal consultants and journalists expressing the facts give Ari the powerto show there is hope in the law of our land defending democracy. Thank you for giving the audio version of Judge Jackson’s descent. It is powerful !!!! Wish it could be part of a civics class for All high school seniors ... not to mention voters as well !!!!!!!

    Ari Blends All, and Excludes None
    I love that Ari brings in elements of all cultures, while analyzing subjects that appeal to and affect everyone.

    NO B. S.
    A pleasure to listen to. Appreciate the ‘NO B.S.’ approach to the news.
  • Feb071957
    Ari, thank you!
    Thank you for being smart, knowledgeable, gracious, and so innovative. Including cultural references, storytelling, and metaphor in news is so innovative and communicates, connects and entertains. I’m so grateful👏👏👏
  • Number 1bookworm!
    Is this entertainment tonight msnbc?
    I really don’t tune in to MSNBC to see entertainment and music news. Maybe Ari should chase his true music news passion?
  • Sizemore24
    Trump
    What would the media do if there was no trump to occupy their soft little brains ? Would they cover how disastrous the Biden regime has been these last 2.5 years ? Probably not ,
  • pooh4092
    Need to hear
    The best episode yet!!! Ari you are the boss!!!!!! Love James, so glad y’all brought him back! The is spot on in our language! Blunt and I love! Republicans are crazy enough to default!!!
  • brianooch
    We have to STOP calling Trump a possible next POTUS
    Let’s start using the right words. If he would happen to win an election he would NOT be the next POTUS. He would be the first American Dictator. He learned so much and he will never make the mistake of trying to pretend to be President again. No more PR, no more asking congress, no more living in the White House he would never leave Mara Largo, no more state of the union, no more NATO summits, no more diplomacy. He will legislate by Twitter and laws would be whatever he says. Many say the courts will protect us. No not when he deactivated the SC by tweet. The Portland brown shirts that started during BLM rallies would be on the street day one. Who would disappear first? Take a guess. Steven Miller and Steve Bannon learned so much. They kick themselves wondering why they didn’t realize that in 2016. It’s important that people see how parallel Trumps rise is to Hitler. Goebbels was the first Fox News but extremely similar. Fake news and an audience desperate for more.
  • JeReynAZ
    Logic!!!
    Ari, your interview/feature of Logic was moving and superb. It is so important to hear the voices of rap and other artists. I respect and admire Logic and his music is extraordinary. His sensitivity and honesty is perhaps best part of him, as is his love for his wife and baby. Thank you for your work/love in bringing him to us through your podcast.
  • Flaca Gigi
    Why we don’t say anything about Hunter Biden
    I love your show I watch it every day… but I will like to hear your opinion and the same analysis as what is happening with Hunter Biden and other issues within the Democratic Party - I will love to hear that in your show
  • Mildred Honey
    Relaxant and Smart
    Ari is the only broadcaster and journalist I can find who is relaxant, fair, smart and authentic. This is the only news related podcast I listen to.
  • Sheerah-ji
    A news source with soul
    I started listening to Ari for his even-handed, fair-minded take on the news. I still enjoy that, but have found so much more. Love the humor, the way he connects with a multicultural array of thinkers, artists and musicians. He has a particular connection with Black artists, and I love the exposure. I'm listening to less news lately, but will keep this one going!
