Week of 10/2 - Parenting/Gary Johnson/Gun Owners/Wells Fargo CEO
This week, we investigate parenting in America to hopefully answer why we're all so messed up. Then, we meet some "super-owners" of firearms to determine if only SOME of them are afraid of minorities. Also, we speak to beleaguered Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf about giving up 41 million dollars Governor Gary Johnson to see if he has come up with a foreign leader yet. Listen for all that and more!
