The Boi is hip and smart he knows how to reach across to all people and breaks its down with common sense language I love his show and his compassion for the rule of law. Good dude.

i was searching for an audio version of the Trump Federal indictment and was glad to see Mr. Velshi and MSNBC had one. He read it well and objectively. The indictment is especially upsetting for former national security employees like me. It's hard to believe a former POTUS would take risks with national security information. This is an important listen no matter the outcome of the case.

Thanks Ali Velshi

The beat gives an interesting twist on the news through the lens of a lawyer. The information is base on the facts and not opinions. I enjoy listening to his take on politics using references with hip hop lyrics to analyze current events.
