    Love how you put the screws to those who voted against their own interest week in and week out. As the farms and meat plants are raided and workers become scarce prices skyrocket and your SNAP and WIC in red states are being taken from you and your health insurance and rural medical facilities close , Lewis you truly find a way to them see there own ….. thank you good sir.

  • I heard you as a guest on a podcast of NPR's show "Wait, wait Don't Tell Me", of which I'm a regular listener. I then did a search to see if you had a PC of your own. Full marks, Lewis. I am now a regular listener. You could be the Will Rogers of our times, and much needed IMO, with the craziness going on now.

    Louis, I love love love you but the way you repeat yourself I guess to make a point is beyond annoying, especially in your most latest episode.. why do you need to repeat things over and over and over and over again?? Please go back and listen to your last episode and tell me if you don't feel annoyed??
