Mr. Matthews, great job with the limited time you had allocated. My hope is that your Producers would push back on your Advertisers to toss their hats in ring in the name of patriotism and limit Ad Breaks without charge. If they have to run at least have all the Ads run at the beginning or the end of the program. There is too much disruption and we the audience constantly loose continuity, especially in a forum like this. The concept is great and I’d like to see more of these especially when the nominees have been appointed.

MTP Daily and Chuck Todd, I watched the episode where you all disparaged Congresswoman Cortez for using the term Concentration Camps. You guy’s get so hyperbolic over innocent and sometimes purposeful comments. The greatest thing about youth is youth and the worst thing about youth is youth. She along with the other young congressmen and women will learn how to better frame their messages however let’s too learn how to critique without condeming obvious misstatements. I also observed that you yourself had difficulty identifying the correct term to describe the incarceration of these children and families. I for one tend to agree with the Congresswoman for the following reasons, although we are not seeking these persons out, they are still being rounded up, held and transported to Camps that are run by the same folks that provide private prisons, so basically they are prisoners. Here is what I believe to be the most important comparison, most all will be returned to the murderous or most un-survivable environments in the Western Hemisphere. What’s the difference if we kill them here or if we send them back to certain death, dead is dead? No we are not executing them but to send them back without even adjudicating their claims, what do you call that?

Mika & Joe, I know that Trump drives the news cycle with his outrageous behavior, however you all are ignoring very important domestic and international news. You are doing us, your loyal viewers, a huge disservice by thinking that we, the American People, don’t care about the extreme things this Trump Cabinet is not doing for the American people. Your Producers have to stop being so damn lazy, picking only the low hanging fruit and not using their obvious talents to tackle these pressing problems. The Donald Trump stuff is obvious and is run on a continuous loop every day all day. Yes, his personal behavior and words are important, but this guy’s words are meant to keep everyone’s eye off the ball. Please stop falling for the shiny objects and report other important domestic stories as well as world issues. For example, babies dying at the border, pregnant black women's mortality rate, the continued poisoning of ground water, the wide spread Led Pollution in American cities, wide spread Air Pollution, the real economic and employment numbers that are only a super charged continuation from the Obama recovery, the crisis in Sudan and Hong Kong, the growing influence of China in Africa and the middle east, the new troubling cooperation between China and Russia, should I go on? Just pick one of these to expose daily and watch your ratings explode. You and the other very talented Anchors and their staff on your network are fully capable of covering these stories in a very informative and entertaining context. Please, please use your platform more responsibly, we all will benefit so much more. Your interview with Jeanne Safer was such a relief from the Trump craziness. Oh, by the way Mika my daughters love you, Oldest almost a Dr. of Psychology, the other Sr. VP/Corp Attorney and the baby and her Husband are award winning International Photojournalist and all are my Black Girls Rising!!! May God Bless you all and our great nation.

I like Mr. Wallace but he is boxed in. He cannot strongly push back on Conservatives or the Administration as I surely think he would like due to the Network he works for. However, he is one of a few on that network who make sincere efforts to get truthful responses from his interviewees. I encourage him to keep up the good fight. Also, I in no way want to disparage Conservatives, simply to make the point that most Republicans have highjacked the Conservative perspective. I'm old enough to remember the days when those who identify as Conservatives were in both parties. However, in todays terms a Conservative is only someone who supports the so called "Right to Life" movement. That's not Conservativism, that's a religious position that goes against traditional Political Conservative positions. Since when did, conservatives believe, that governments should interfere in any individuals, personal rights regardless if they agree or, disagree with the individuals, pursuit of happiness as long as that pursuit is legal under the law. Truth, Justice and the American Way not the Rich and Powerful way alone!!!! The Middle Class gave us the prosperity we enjoy today not the Rich and Powerful. The Rich have been made Powerful because the Middle Class were and have been misled by politicians and trusted News media time and again, it's time for us to take our power back and stop blindly following anyone who does not have our interest first and foremost and not their own personal and political power and aspirations. Vote!!!!!
