  • Please separate from MK

    Love the show, longtime supporter of 2way, but cannot subscribe to anything associated with Megyn Kelly given the path she’s chosen. Understand this must be a very tough spot for Mark but Kelly has chosen darkness.

    When the media (left and right) begin to go crazy, I find comfort in knowing I can always tune in to you for objective, balanced and professional reporting. Why can’t they all be more like you! Keep it up please.

  • Mayor Justin Frey????

    How can Hyma Moore say someone is doing a good job, when he doesn’t even know his actual name??? Enlightening, very enlightening. 😂 surprised Mark didn’t correct that, honestly.

  • Interview with Joe S

    I forgot how weak the interview was with Scarborough. There was zero pushback from Mark on anything Joe had to say.
