These guys are great, and although I understand the underlying reasons they put the soft gloves on while critiquing POTUS, I can’t help but tune out when they praise DJT’s intelligence.
I love John, but too many commercials and plugs for what both guys are promoting as well. Clean it up.
Ted, the facilitator is interruptive, pessimistic, and whiny. John is phenomenal and brings tremendous insight to relevant topics.
TIP: Listen to John somewhere else.
TIP for JOHN: Please disassociate yourself from this Russian government loving atheist.
