    Prior to this "Presidential Power Secrets"...

    Episode, I enjoyed the content and narration. This episode, however, took the Democrap narrative and ran with it blindly! Protests in Portland? They were RIOTS plain and simple. And yes, the president was well within his scope to authorize the detention of the RIOTERS (not protestors!) to quash the "Summer of Love".

    My recommendation? Keep the political nonsense out of the show and present FACTS, not "experts" from left-wing loonies like the woman from Brennan Center for Justice.

    Continuity

    Just noticed in season two and then went back and watched season one, how he can be driving a Chevy, the steering wheel's insignia is obvious, and he pulls up to the parking space and gets out of a Jeep, and another he's driving a black Chevy and pulls up and get out of a grey ford. Then the blurring out of the grill insignia but the steering wheel one is visible. Also driving a Equinox and gets out of a suburban. If those vehicles are rentals, which most probably are, they should have at least dusted off the dashboard before filming an episode that the dash and windows are very visible while driving.

    I was wrong... it's a good show.

    In Florida, waiting for another hurricane, and I was binge watching/listening to this show. I hated it, but it was white noise and made the time fly.

    At first I thought it was a vanity show.. the host worked for the "CIA," had security clearances, blah, blah, blah. But by episode 5 of season 1 got me hooked. I like the format, short and sweet experts (who can't talk "on the record) interviews, even the 50 year old secret document episode was interesting TV.

    I've learned how to correctly handle a weapon on the firing line.

    Give it a try, tough it out for the first few shows, and like broccoli, it's terrible but good for you.

    Americans should NOT have access to everything

    The show is well done, in my opinion. My primary issue is they appear to give off vibes indicating the American people have a right to know everything the government is up to. Freedom of information, they say. I find it shocking that so many of those in this series are either so ignorant, stupid, (or willing to make money at any costs), not to understand that if all of America knows everything our government is up to then ALL the world would know too. Do we really want ALL the world to know our government's secrets? Really? Or are people so incredibly naïve to think as Americans, we'll keep it all secret?

    Despite what some say, I don't find it politically biased. Some seem to have meltdowns because they think it is & claim it is skewed, which means it's not skewed to their own political beliefs.

    Really starting to enjoy Mike Baker

    I've seen Mike Baker on several other shows, but he really shines here, great analyses on various topics that may have been covered before, but with worthwhile new revelations.

    I bought the series i enjoyed it so much.
