He’s a terrific broadcasting asset for our side to have. No-nonsense and a whole lotta sense. Simplifies things beautifully.

He reported from the Ukraine border at the start of that horrible war, I watched him take a rubber bullet to his leg when he was reporting on a protest during the first TFG administration and he can and does sub for any host on MSNBC. One of the best.
