Great effective news compilation

I only wish they focused more on big world news stories.

Also a pet peeve: I am very tired of hearing Luke Vargas pronounce “Beijing” wrong. It seems he has to say that word at least once per week, and he puts a silly sound on the “j” that maybe is supposed to sound more authentically Chinese but actually takes him FURTHER from the real and simple pronunciation of “Beijing” in Chinese. Someone needs to coach him so I can stop hearing him say it wrong.

Value here

A bit too much green energy talk without providing the numbers. Please, if we want to talk about green energy, please also provide the math. Value is why I like your program, you provide good information but on the topic of green energy we just use the term - how much is wind power pre and post government subsidies? How much does solar power cost? If the government subsidies 50% of the homeowner cost is it really price per kilowatt 11cents or 22cents? What is the cost? If we import these from China, what is that cost to the us? Like what you do, daily follower, please just dig a little deeper.
