Customer Reviews
Keep going
Hey Charlie, I am a fan. I especially like the grumpy old white guy take on our country’s management. It would be good to remember that Trump spewed poisonous toxins through the pipeline that is our highest level of government. If you try to put fresh water though a pipe that has carried sewage, the fresh water will be contaminated. It will take Biden time to flush the pipe. Please keep going. Comfort your listeners. Report as you always have. Be a change agent. This attack on our democracy was engineered. We must get through it together.

My favorite political podcast
