Clubman 1954

Please tell your new female Host for what’s the news to stop with the negative labeling of Trump‘s appointee for borders are as anti-immigration. The fact that an individual wants immigrants to follow the law in our country to follow the law doesn’t make them anti-immigrant. Stop with your ideological bias.
When will Tracie Hunte’s contract end?

Claudz1973

AM Luke Vargas is great but you’re hemorrhaging credibility and probably listeners in the PM edition w Tracie Hunte. NPR left skewed reporting and horrendous speaking voice to boot. Please don’t renew her contract; admit your mistake and get a grown up to replace her next go around.
