Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Listen to it every morning on the treadmill, great to catch up on the news.
Bur please make the weekly bit a separate podcst
Enough
You guys are so off on the boarder issue. It’s not about how do we go back and forth on the boarder. It’s how do we pay for this. How do we give food, shelter and education to people who are not taxed? That’s where our budget comes from. And the violence. Where are these people from? Who are they? Do you just let people walk in your house and eat your food and sleep in your bed? Please open your eyes and be journalists instead of spouting whatever your current belief is. You’re turning people off to you. Sorry deleting your podcast from feed. Listening for four years but you can’t be biased. I’m done.
Swamp notes is awful
Don’t let your Biden-loving journalists use Swamp Notes to kill this feed. I enjoy the daily morning show but Swamp Notes is a waste. No need for a Democrat love fest.
