BRIAN NEEDS HIS OWN SHOW
🔼🔼🔼🔼
Regular show is good - this year’s gold dome scramble is…not
I enjoy this weekly show. However, the 2022 version of the Gold Dome Scramble is a mess. Do any of these reporters know anything about state politics. Or know anything? Sam sounds like a clueless middle schooler
Brian Robinson
