  1. This used to be a great show, no more. I stopped watching a long time ago, it was going down hill, now it’s hit the bottom. Please cancel, not doing any good now except showing anger and hateful things!!!

  2. We are already in a mess, can’t stand to hear them constantly hate everything about this country, and the people who try to help fix it.. All they do is yelling and telling everyone what to do. I’m done will not watch ever watch again 🤬
