Jan 7 episode
Is there a reason that your guest continually mispronounced Kamala Harris’ name and you let her get away with that?? Sad journalism.
Grateful ...

Address Lincoln project fiasco
Longtime listener. You have supported the Lincoln Project hosting members on show. Now with the revelations in the press recently will you also address how the Lincoln Project fooled its own supporters and patrons? As a supporter of Project, I believe you too should address for your faithful audience. Let’s peel back the layers and see how much the onion stinks. Thank you.
