Thanks Ali Velshi

i was searching for an audio version of the Trump Federal indictment and was glad to see Mr. Velshi and MSNBC had one. He read it well and objectively. The indictment is especially upsetting for former national security employees like me. It's hard to believe a former POTUS would take risks with national security information. This is an important listen no matter the outcome of the case.

Relevant information and unbiased reporting

The beat gives an interesting twist on the news through the lens of a lawyer. The information is base on the facts and not opinions. I enjoy listening to his take on politics using references with hip hop lyrics to analyze current events.

Initially I thought Ari was a genius but…

He seems incapable along with Rachel Maddow of realizing that they were inadvertently better spokespeople for a second trump term than Steve Bannon and the rest of the spineless sycophants working for the orange traitor.
