Melanie from GeorgiaChris Vance PodcastYour conversation with Chris was intelligently detailed and very uplifting. What I would have added to the chat was the dangers ahead if we continue to allow religious extremists to rule the Party. An important lesson from history is that religious believes and politics should never mix. It has brought nothing but bloodshed throughout the ages. It’s time we all paid more attention to what history can teach us.

Ms.Angel_MGreat oneLove his podcast
-
go stillerzFormer MarylanderYou remind me of what the party stood for; now its just a cult headed by a golden calf (oops, I meant cow).
-
ca_bohIncredible podcast, insanely loud adsJust make ad volume the same as volume of podcast content. Then I’ll give it 5 stars. Incredibly annoying otherwise.
-
neverbroke69ThanksI like listening to everything you say on MSNBC and your Pod cast. Because it’s true and educational. Michael keep speaking the truth.

JennaboaMichael Steele gives me some hope for RepublicansMichael Steele gives me some hope for Republicans, though I live in a state so gerrymandered and hateful it sure isn’t my batch of elephants. I will say though people like Dr Phil don’t see they are part of the problem with politics and religion. So sure of they are right and everyone else is morally wrong as a result, so dang judgmental — yes, religion can instill morality. It can also be used to control the well-meaning masses. Why are Americans disillusioned by religion? The grift. Prosperity gospel. Let’s all read Dr Phil’s newest book on it and see, right? I don’t need Dr Phil’s no-doubt pricey and overwritten book to tell me what I can see with my own eyes that all the so-called authorities on religion today are actively doing the exact opposite of what Jesus preached. (I was raised in an area with Phil’s folksy ways, it always hits me as inauthentic and to snake oil to be real, even if he is. But I’m not an Evangelical and that style of talking does not appeal to me.) Still, thank you, Michael, for everything you do and the people you bring on. I may not always agree with them, but it always leaves me thinking. And I think between you and John Fuselang’s Tell Me Everything segments with religious leaders, there might be some hope Christianity can come back from the cliff’s edge it is staring down — but it might be after the lemmings follow their golden idol jump off with their freedom bibles, grievance hatred and Golden shoes. Cheers and love.

ltd252Great podcastAdam Kinsinger is the best. And so is Micheal Steele. Love it! Michael Steele is the best—& I always love Dr. Phil.

CowgirlBootzLOVE THE INTERVIEW WITH ASTRONAUT VIRTSWhat a great break from politics today! Love Michael’s informative, direct political commentary but today was an absolute treat for the soul. Can’t wait for the next interview with Terry Virts!
-
ImeverywhereintheUSGreat show!Love his wholistic view and ability to pull expert opinion from ALL angles.
-
LenoChallLong time listenerI was an avid listener of Steele and Ungar. Having Rick Ungar as a guest are my favorite episodes of this pod! As a former (black) Republican, I see myself now as a conservative Democrat. However, I appreciate hearing sane and reasonable folks on both sides. Your show is a great listen.
-
chisoxctGood showI enjoy Micheal’s perspective and how his life experiences have impacted his views. A good listen. Thanks Mike!
-
ajk16##Native LandI am a faithful listener. Michael, your Fire Nancy program started the movement that resulted in “Where’s Nancy” January 6.
-
JJ62sadfaceThe Road to Building…..I really appreciated Angela’s challenge. I have wondered so often about ‘the House Steele built’ that 2010 ads turned on ugly Pelosi ads. I remember those ads. You didn’t need to start a hate ad program that set an awful new bar. Those ads that have continued ugly against Pelosi and put her at the forefront in 2010. Don’t you think that all was too ugly?
-
JostropeMichael is great.Thank you for such a significant podcast..
-
Jess from L.A.Bad guestMichael is great, Dr. Phil is a hack
-
pepperjack 42New TestamentHey Michael thanks for reminding us Christians that Jesus came along and changed those dreadful rites of the Old Testament. I went to Catholic school as did most of my friends and they conveniently forget. No 5 stars for this guy. Dr Phil is certainly twisting the facts. Why is he on your show?
-
Mom ArinLove this podcast!I love Michael Steele, but I no longer have any respect for Dr Phil. He’s clearly a quack.
-
Cool_dExcellent PodcastI admire Michael Steele’s adeptness at maintaining steadfast adherence to core conservative principles, all the while fostering enriching political discourse with guests spanning the ideological spectrum on his exceptional podcast.
-
page twoReal languageLove Michael’s authenticity in both electoral politics and especially race. He is straightforward in showing the emotional as well as practical in his opinions!
-
Ofwaih48One of my go-to’sOver my morning coffee. I never miss an episode. Great topics and conversations!
-
Gram super fanGreat showsAlways inspiring informative and important. Wish the Dems would listen and hire you!! Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
-
CatherinefromNorCalGreat session with Tavis Smiley!This conversation with Tavis was so wonderful. Made me realize how much I’ve missed hearing Tavis on the radio. Thank you Michael for always providing worthwhile content on your podcast. I’m a liberal Democrat who loves listening to you, following you on X, and seeing you on TV, Bulwark & LP. We all have to pull together during these outrageous times! Thank you for everything you do - your podcasts are always worth my time.
-
MamaNewsSpot onI always welcome Michael’s take on the political Zeitgeist. Fresh, in depth and insightful. I’m a fan.
-
DaveJB ATLNeeds help of guest.Michael is not talented enough to carry the conversation. However, there are some guests that can make it worth while.
-
mikewjaaxfl1 904Michael steel Tim Alberta podcast date December 21, 2023Excellent podcast with Michael @ Tim I listened to what a couple of time since air date, I will probably listen to it again a couple more times. It was an excellent podcast. What a Michael’s best podcast. Thank you very much.
-
80221Some folks……have no idea of, interest in, exposure to or understanding of the actual working class in this country. If they did, they would not identify with or support Republicans or Libertarians whose ideas & policies only hurt the majority of Americans.
-
TV AnneSometimes uncomfortable, always interesting.I don’t always agree with Michael or his guests, and sometimes I bristle at the assumptions, but I really appreciate the sensible discussions he facilitates. The show tries to represent a mix of points of views. And when those views are foreign to mine, at least the conversation is defined by reality. It’s a place for common sense and common ground.
-
AndmorriHit and MissI admire some of Mr. Steele’s efforts and viewpoints as a fact based republican, but the show varies wildly depends on the strength of the guest.
-
Prometheus---Great Steve Schmidt interviewI recently heard your interview with Steve Schmidt. One of the best interviews/analysis on our current Trump catastrophe I’ve heard to date. Schmidt is the greatest Trump critic around. He gets it. Unfortunately, every cell in body tells me Trump will win. I had the exact same feeling very early on in 2016. My only point of contention with your and Schmidt’s legitimate criticism of Biden running again is that any Dem primary would be a 3-ring circus and produce an even bigger loser. Dean Phillips will not be able to win said primary. The Bernie Bro and AOC wing of the Dem party will crash the plane with their nonsense. The end is nigh . We are the Weimar Republic. Have a plan. Trump will win.
-
AZariesfireI love the MS podcastWe need this. It should be required listening. Our democracy is about to go off a cliff, hijacked by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. The podcast today with Steve Schmidt was the best ever. I wish both Steve and Michael would join the Biden campaign.
-
JLC5270Steve RocksLove Steve Schmidt! Love Michael Steele! The show with Michael Hayes was fantastic. How lucky we are to have men like him in our military! Update: I wish you would run again. I’m a democrat and would vote for you. You have your finger on the pulse of democracy. The second part of Steve Schmidt nails it. The Republican Party exists no more. The crazy people will run the country into the ground just as Steve Bannon the Leninist’s wants. Tom Nichols scared me. Millions of citizens are willing to trash our country. Trump has destroyed America. Steve Schmidt should have joined Biden’s campaign. No one knows Dean Phillips.

longgonesamAll Infaux evangelicals indeed. Michael Flynn So, Michael, in your office, the photo above your right shoulder? Is that Ali? Great podcast. Your voice is important
-
MSFLOODEvangelicals in the Age of Political ExtremismThis is such an important topic. Religion is a dangerous way to control people by nurturing fear and hatred of all who are different from them. It’s like the bullies and mean girls from junior high grew up and now bully and ostracize those have different beliefs, values or color of skin because it is now acceptable in our society… along with lying about almost everything and assault weapons becoming our golden calf.
-
Ranger JohnUsed to LOATHE Michael Steele . . .. . . but it's nice to see him swing back to the center(ish) part of the political spectrum, recognizing our modern problems for what they are and speaking courageously and truthfully to them.
-
Happy healthy fit meNot Buying ItI appreciated the conversation with Adam K. I admire and am grateful for both of you. However… the conversation early on about the R party and Trump’s impact, it’s not all Republicans, etc, got me talking out loud to you two. Admit it please: The Republicans mistakenly thought they could and would control him. They were wrong. They lost any and all control by kowtowing and placating and allowing every aberrant comment made by Trump before, during and after his election. This is only a surprise to people who are non-issue lead partisans, people who live outside of any mainstream media or people who have been in a coma. This is his lifetime MO. He didn’t change. He trumped all. And they can’t admit it.
-
GaMtnGrlWith Tim MillerI am enjoying these podcasts so much. Great job, Michael Steele.
-
All my nicknames were taken!Great PodcastA beverage, a book, and an episode of Michael Steele…great end of a day!
-
rebecca in d.c.Loved the thanksgiving showIt is always a pleasure to hear your insightful and unique analysis. I also love your sense of humor.
-
Nutcase like no other👍Really enjoy your podcast Michael! Absolutely loved the Thanksgiving Barbershop episode with Tom Nichols, Elie Mystal and Glenn Kirschner!!!
-
APSkisKeepin it Real!I love Michael’s pod. He has a way of adding just enough humor along with humility and has engaging conversations with his guests. The episode with Rachel Maddow is one of his best IMO. Keep it up, Mr. Steele! We need your voice!
-
Eager VoterA favorite!Michael as host is sane, rational, cordial to diverse guests, without grandstanding or interrupting. “Short takes” are usually just the right length and suitably pithy. A pleasure to hear a host that can bring something new to an old but meaty topic.
-
Jack Buz.You rock!Thank you, Michael, for helping to get the facts out and keep us sane. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
-
sharpimgeMarianne Williamson debateMichael I LOVED the debate you and Marianne Williamson had. If she returns, PLEASE have her on longer….1 hour, 2 hours…heck have her on for 10 hours. It was refreshing listening to a healthy debate.
-
Grey Foxx-RichmondLove this podcastAlways informative, always fun….just a note to Michael-stop talking over your guests….Still 5 Stars !!!
-
Nutty momMarianne WilliamsonI admire Michael Steeles calm patience during this interview. I couldn’t have done it. Our country needs to re-establish our norms and strengthen the guardrails. NOT the time for more radical change. She doesn’t seem to accept that she’s not being silenced or blocked. Just because people don’t agree with her ideas doesn’t mean her message is not being heard, it just means no one is interested in her ideas.
-
tmccaffr10/15Yeah! Thank you for coaching the Democrats. I hope they’re listening. I am 🙂
-
JennyMdUsaGreat host and personMy favorite politician in Maryland together with Jamie Raskin. I'd vote for Michael in a heartbeat.
-
Beam1482Common senseMichael ask the question that moderate Republicans want to try to understand.
