Steele sold his soul for the MSNBC paycheck. A man with zero principles.

“Some” white people are x,y,z, but not all. I hate “white people this and white people that.” Don’t lump me in with the subgroup of whites who are prejudice and discriminate.

Michael Steele is correct, in that the Democrats do not know how to fight the Maga mob

I have really enjoyed listening these last many years. I don’t have cable, so I wish you all the success with Simone & Alicia. 🫂❤️

Sorry to see the break, but please, please, please leave all your past casts up so I can still listen to many of them.

Michael is very, very happy that girls & women lost their rights to reproductive healthcare when Row v. Wade was overturned. Steele is gleeful that forced pregnancy & birth is required, even for rape victims, in the red states. He is thrilled because he truly believes female humans are livestock & should not have control over their lives, futures or bodies. Men who impregnate females of any age by any means should have full civil rights & protections & healthcare while the girls & women should bleed out in the ER parking lot, doctors refusing to provide care due to law suits & criminal prosecution. Women are dying. Michael is super stoked! Civil rights for he but not for she! He talked about this on The Weekend on MSNBC Dec 2024, with a huge smile on his face. So proud of himself for being a man who can debase women on TV for money & totally get away with it. His 2 female co-anchors just sat there & said nothing to condemn his misogyny.

I think we need to move on from discussion about Kamala and the race. It’s embarrassing and it’s spilt milk.

Dont know the guy you had on. But hes a problem for dems. You michael are correct!!

I always so enjoy Michael’s words, cuz this man is real! As a former R myself a can so relate to what comes out of this man’s mouth 😊 I struggle often with the D’s too Thanks Michael, keep it coming an old white woman is listening 😉

.❤️❤️

Thumbs up

It’s not so much center right, it’s more like a less whiny left. Not much debate and the guests seem to all possess some level of TDS.

I listened last night for the first time. It was the episode with Rick Wilson. Great content. Great banter. I will be back. Keepin’ it raw & real with Michael Steele.

If you need a push to get up and do something, Michael and Rick have your back. Their righteous anger is visible through their salty humor, and their expertise in politics takes you into the back rooms of government.

Political exchanges with an edge—to, for, and about common sense and intelligent democracy. Always done with a human touch and service based conversation! THANK YOU! Special praise for your conversation with Mary Trump! This is one of the most profoundly beautiful and tragically revealing discussions about the Trump family and Michael Steel’s personal stories. 🌷 Your episodes are always thoughtful and engaging—this further proof “A MOMENT OF CLARITY” communication and artwork !!! Elegant Message Approach!🌷 Congratulations on more collaboration! Thank you! Wish my mom was alive! She would be so grateful to all of you!🍁 Greenland: Might want to watch the history streaming on Prime. 🌷

Why listen? Just like Joyless Reid, only with an “R” after his name. His mind is a terrible thing to waste. BTW, Bongino has over 60,000 ratings of HIS podcast. Mic drop!!

Thanks for keeping it real!

I enjoyed listening to you and Joe Walsh today. As a proud liberal I have never voted for a Republican. You do sometimes seem to be speaking to Trump voters. I would bet that your listeners are nearly entirely Harris voters though. Thanks for your efforts

I appreciate the work you do.

I am not a conservative and Michael Steele and I would probably disagree on many policies but he is most definitely one of the smartest and frank speaking people in the US, today and his advice is indispensable. This podcast is the one I now most look forward too.

Thank You for going to bat for ALL of us!!!!

I appreciate Michael Steele. I can only imagine what is must be like to be an outcast in your own party. But enough of the yakki-yak. Time to get to work. Start identifying House Republicans we can primary and help elect republicans that have a soul, a backbone and spine (Party of Lincoln). But, then again, maybe they don’t exist. They always seem to eventually bend their knees to money and whiteness. This might be incurable cancer. But you go ahead Michael Steele with yet another revenue stream of words. Just keep feeding us verbal morphine that makes us comfortable while we lay in political hospice care. Enough of the “soul brother, jive talk.” Time to do the work. Get busy my brother.

I found you from the Bukwark channel on You Tube. I am an Independent (After the way some Dems treated President Biden). You are brilliant!!!! So glad I found this podcast!!

I was so glad to see you take on Joe Scarborough this morning on MSNBC For his trip to Mar a largo! He got so defensive and you didn’t let up! Good for you, someone finally called him out in public on his own show., only I wonder if Joe was so mad that you will no longer be invited on his show!!! I also love your podcasts.

Merry Christmas Michael, this Gavin. I love the podcast! I saw your interview today with Chris Christie. It was great! I just got his book Republican Rescue for Christmas! As a Liberal you guys are one of the only Republicans I truly respect and support! Keep it up Michael!

I do like you Michael Steele but, better microphone of different room to podcast? You sound like you’re in an echo tunnel. It’s hard to listen!!

I really like the straight talk and republican view point. But the sound must be improved. I hear your guests much better than you?

While short, I loved this episode! Yes, Joe was going to pardon his son, yes Black women are sipping their wine and yes we Democrats have got to stop being so pure. Signed, a weary black woman

I have always liked you, Michael, even way back when I was a Republican before the summer of 2015. But listening to your short take this morning got me steamed. I am a white woman and I worked my tail off for Kamala Harris alongside many just like me. How dare you put us into a block and assume that’s how we all think and act. You might say that people have been doing that forever to Black people and it is true, but that doesn’t mean you should do it. So don’t. I also thought your guest was mean and snarky about Biden and the pardon this morning. He’s a good man, he was a good (maybe great) president, and he did the right thing about the pardon. He’s probably depressed and worried like the rest of us about the coming 4 years. One star off for today’s Short Take.

Discussions that include philosophy, theology, and the vernacular in clear language are rare and so important. Michael is the best! Timothy Snyder’s concepts rival any Enlightenment thinking. Keep up the good work!

Getting really annoying to be part way in a podcast and realizing that I’ve already heard this because you already published that snippet in another episode. This has happened to me at least ten times on this podcast. Please stop publishing duplicates.

Absolutely love, The Michael Steele Podcast… The views are unique and insightful! One request… Can you please upgrade your mic? I’ve had better sound quality talking through two tin cans and a line of string 🤣

Spot on Brilliant!!

Love seeing the perspective presented by Michael Steele and his guests whether on MSNBC, here or in person. This podcast allows for more viewing with him and talented, intelligent and forthright guests!

Not true Simone! A lot of Americans ARE PAYING ATTENTION. Stop treating us like we are stupid

Michael Steele has, as a Never-Trump guy, opened my eyes to a new appreciation of Republicans. The Weekend show with Simone Sanders-Townsend and Alicia Menendez is the best news show on MSNBC -AAAAND the 3 hosts of the Weekend Show should replace Joe Scarborough and his morning show!!!!

Since I am a retired Midwestern white woman, Elie routinely dynamites new pathways in my brain. I appreciate his perspective, personally and systemically, about the election. The threat of retribution was there throughout the campaign and didn’t sway voters away from Trump. I would be naive to think that actions taken now might change minds. It makes my heart hurt. But I am going to keep figuring things out, like what I can do about it. Thanks for the podcast, Michael!!

This white woman fought hard for the VP. I’m educated and well-informed. Please don’t generalize. Hard to take.

I have so much respect for Man of Steele! I trust his insights, political experience, and his honesty. Thank you for sharing your perspective and helping your listeners understand how important it is to be informed on not only USA issues, but the world. We’re all in this together and it’s so vital to know who’s actually for democracy and not party.

Since the 2024 Election, I have turned off the news and have been avoiding the online chatter. The idea that the majority of Americans believe a Presidential Candidate who wishes to be a Dictator and is a convicted Felon should hold the top office in the United States. To top things off his previous Presidency was an absolute train wreck! This really hit me hard. I firmly believe by putting one’s head in the sand will not make any situation go away. The first discussion I elected to listen to following the election was the Podcast Michael Steele had with Rick Wilson. I found it to be a very straight forward assessment of why the Democratic Presidential Ticket was lost. I was able to focus on the conversation without having 3 to 4 little boxes of all different guests giving their opinions of the situation. It was a well done one to one blunt conversation and is worth one’s time to check out the episode.

Please stay with us and keep trying to help us. We can’t let our democracy die.

Michael Steele is great. He gives BLUF all with supporting reasons. His podcasts also give both the political and everyday implications for why Trump and MAGA Republicans pose a threat to all of us.

Loved the beauty shop. When trumo loses, the efforts to rebuild the Republican Party will be intriguing to watch. I’m a lifelong Democrat but sincerely hope that a party representing conservative viewpoints can be resuscitated. One that believes in democracy, the Constitution, is reasonable and willing to compromise on the critical policy issues facing us. I look forward to watching how the courageous Republicans who have come out against Trump and MAGA accomplish this.

Moe focus please on his lying. Do it all the time you can. Keep up the good work, Dave Buckingham Carmel Valley, CC

Wake up America

Excellent episode, always enjoy the perspective and insight of Mary Trump. She is such an inspiring woman and I just ordered her book. Thank you again Michael for all you do and the great guests you have.

Outstanding, insightful, typical Micheal Steel presentation.

Michael Steele is brilliant, honest, and trustworthy. I first heard him on Dumb Gay Politics and got hooked. If you’re not listening to this Podcast, you’re crazy.

Michael, I love your insights and cutting commentary. Just an idea - IMHO and for your consideration -suggest that Kamala go ASAP to Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina NOW to show compassion and bring Federal aid in the wake of hurricane Helene. Would be good for those folks and great politically. Nothing like a crisis to showcase her compassion and leadership - putting country (in red states to boot) over politics - and thereby maybe swing enough undecided votes in those key states in the upcoming election. And help nail your prophecy of her winning there. With gratitude, Dennis Pierce St, Louis, MO
