Customer Reviews
Keeps me sane!
I’m not crazy. The antics of the republican party are crazy! It’s not me! This podcast reminds me of these truths each week. Love the content. Great commentary. Great guests.
And, yes, I laugh through these troubling times with your help!
And, I take action and vote, too!
Danielle Moodie
Not to take anything away from Andy or Molly but Danielle is the most prepared and thoughtful interviewer of all podcasts I listen to.
Election win
Nothing Trump says or does is going to change the election much. But what Biden does will be pivotal. If his actions in Gaza are not turned around, he wil not get the votes to win. Thirty Israeli kids were killed by Hamas. 15,000 Palestinian kids plus those buried under US rubble have been killed. Now Biden is going along with the impending starvation of one MILLION human beings in Gaza. No man doing this deserves to be elected president. And I don’t think Americans will give him the vote.
