Admittedlyâhe is a remarkably intelligible man who effortlessly and diligently tried to be forthright about the operations of the NIH during his 12 year career. He touted great leadership and results but I donât think he realizes the abject failures and his incompetency FAR outweighed all benefits he bestows and lauds. I think he is extraordinarily disillusioned. The actions of the NIH and WHO was nightmarish. After hearing him speak and defend his actions, I found his pitch extremely wanting. No matter how you slice it, Collins will always be associated with the illegal âgain of functionâ procedures, scientism worshipping, and the psychopathological prevaricating Anthony Fauci. Collins and Fauci willfully shut down the entire country for masking and forced vaccines. This falls under Brobdingnagian cruelty and criminality of the first order! Collins and Fauci are indeed cut from the same cloth and both of these duplicitous medical rogues caved in to the establishment for their own respective careers. They both were just incredibly and shamelessly disingenuous when confronted by the disastrous outcomes! They were never wrong! They could never brook any professional who legitimately challenged them! Collins and Fauci had the nation biting their lips in vexation and grinding their bicuspids into powder over their stalwart political stances to shut the world down. The millions that suffered needlessly over these knaves defies summary it is so tragic. The sheer treachery behind the Covid agendas unleashed by Collins and Fauci were never to be challenged by anybody let alone any legitimate opposition to their policies. The Great Barrington Declaration should have been embraced but these power-mongering white coats but they could not bear it. Went against the grain of their rhetoric and agenda of control. Collins calls for censorship and to continue the climate hoax measures only proves he is even more of a dangerous government owned charlatan now more than he ever was during the Covid era. Not good! Good interview by Q & A. However I felt insulted by the exponential fabrications by Collins. Collins and Fauci are two people who I will always have nothing but the most despicable contempt for their failed leadership and the false narratives they presented to the public. Their appalling stances to anyone who would counter them was an outrage. He claimed NIH saved hundreds of thousands of lives over the vaccine. I think of the millions more who suffered under the tyrannical restrictions and forced vaccines implemented by the fascistic NIH under the ruthless Collins and Fauci all under the guise âWe are in this together.â đ€Šđ»ââïž
I saw this mentioned on other comments, and I agree that the sound and audio quality needs to improve on Q&A. Otherwise, I greatly enjoy it. Thank you.
I like just about everything c-span, but Iâve finally had it with the terrible sound on these Q&A interviews. Itâs like theyâre all done by telephone with a cheap mic laid next to the receiver. C-span can do better. But doesnât. So Iâve quit this podcast.
The show has really gone downhill since Mr. Lamb left. It used to feature authors speaking about little known yet fascinating historical topics and was also politically neutral. Now it seems like guests are chosen based the new hosts political views.
Everyone says they miss Brian Lamb, but I think Susan Swain has clearly done a great job in filling his shoes. Q&A is one of a very few media outlets that get my attention, and, in this case, loyalty.
As a longtime albeit I imagine still much younger CSPAN fan, Iâve been disappointed with the direction this show has taken over the last year. I know Brian Lamb is irreplaceable, but the host change, guest selection, and other format elements seem almost intentionally disruptive to the previous magic of this show, that was so wonderfully simple and in no need of refresh.The beauty of this show, prior to the changes, was that you were introduced to topics, ideas and people objectively and without pretense. The show now seems interested or motivated to be relevant in the devastating political punditry cable TV hellhole. Please stop.
Q&A under its new leader, Susan Swain, has freshness, relevance and diversity while following the fantastic format of guest center stage and interviewer in the background. Direct and humble in her approach, Ms Swainâs style is much like Mr Lambâs. We never hear her talking just to hear herself speak. She brings context and knowledge to the back and forth discussions as well as balance. Women! There are women intellectuals, academics and authors guests galore. Hallelujah!
Thank you Susan Swain .
I would highly recommend subscribing to this podcast. Brian Lamb is a phenomenal interviewer and always asks the pertinent questions that lead to more understanding.
This podcast saved my marriage. My wife and I listen to this podcast every night together before we sleep. My son listens to it in the Florida prison he currently resides in, it makes us feel connected to him. Thank you C-SPAN.
he is one of the best out there
very informed about his guests
he will ask questions triggered from what the guests is saying, unlike many others that seem more script based
brian is an easy going sort and makes this podcast great
thanks brian and crew
Brian Lamb is a national treasure. No one comes even close to this man when it comes to down to earth interviews. A one in a generation kind of person.
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Brian Lamb gets a great amount of depth with interesting guests and what can be quite complex topics. I really enjoy how he mixes his questions about the interviewee and their works.
What an awkward interview of Justice Scalia. Reminds me a little of Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. The saving grace of the interview is Scalia's sense of absurdity.
Brian Lamb is an American hero, actually a Presential Medal of Honor recepient. I don't always agree with the opinions of the guests, but I always agree with Lamb's objectivity and ability to get to the root of the person. Listen - you be much richer for the experience. One hour is just perfect for an early evening walk.
