Ruhle should do all of the long form interviews. She’s very smart, she’s strategic, and she’s genuine. She didn’t let Harris off the hook, and her last question about trust was perfect.

The March 18 episode was the most uplifting thing I have heard in ages. I have shared Your great interview with drag queen Jinkx Monsoon with my family and friends in support of my trans grandchild. Thank you for all your political insight AND your humanity!

DemFromTexas · Mar 2023

An absolute fantastic hour of news with heart and perspective. Stephanie leads with truth and love. As she’s says, watching the 11th Hour makes us smarter. Keep up the great work. You’re a bright spot in what can feel like an otherwise less than hopeful world.

Ms Ruhle constantly interrupts her guests. Guests on the show can be very informative, but her incessant talking over them - and always having to have the last word - distracts from the conversation.

Ms Ruhle constantly interrupts her guests. When listening to this show as a podcast, these interruptions make it impossible to follow along - and her guests are some of the best on this network.
