- Interview with a vanLier
When you choose to interview Tapper it’s the same as playing with pigs. You get muddy and realize you’re playing with a pig.
Sorry you put yourself in the role of joining Tapper and his lies. Was he lying when he said Biden just had a stutter and was sharp or is he lying now that he wishes he had covered the story?
Many good books out there with authors who have knowledge, integrity, and have done hard work. This book is the product of none of that.

I listen to Michael on SiriusXM, but only recently found the book club podcast. It is great! I put it on while I’m doing things around the house and just let it play one episode to the next. The variety I’m authors and topics is amazing.

Interviews are way too short. When he does actually have an interesting guest it’s over in no time.
