Legit podcast!
So good to see a podcast that actually digs for the truth and isn’t persuaded by legacy media politic propaganda
I’ve been loving this pod ever since I found it.
Toronto liberals welcome here.
Someone referring to good old boys. Being linked to the confederate flag was a reach at the very least. Half of these hosts are daddy Trudeau loving liberals and it’s not hard to tell which one.
