I never knew about Bill Pulte until their show, or that the FCC's Brendan Carr wrote his name on a chapter on the FCC in the Project 2025 book. Gotta give Symone credit for that.

They've got good producers, apparently, and do their homework. All three -- with their different styles and angles -- when taken together are greater than the sum of their parts, imo.

And I knew them all already since Symone and Alicia both had their own MSNBC shows and Michael Steele was a national figure - experience counts. Plus, they all work well together and are up to handling any guests so I'm glad to see they made it to prime time, well deserved. As for the morning show hosts who replaced them, aside from Jonathan Capehart, I still don't know who most of them are.
