  • Very informative

    Since I retired two years ago I’ve had to whittle down the number of podcasts I listen to. This is one excellent podcast that made the cut. Keep up with the truth telling to counteract with the lies and gaslighting that come out of Washington .

  • A voice of reason in a sea of insanity

    Jason Kander knows what he’s taking about. There are 10,000 political podcasts out there but his approach of how to talk about current events to people who need to be brought into the majority so that you can be persuasive and not get drafted into asinine debates.

  • Show on immigration

    Good show but please be careful about terms. A person is not undocumented if they have a pending immigration case in the system. Undocumented means the person is flying beneath the radar. I have to ask if someone was convicted of a crime why is it so hard to deport them? Seems to me that would be easy to do.

  • Bad sound

    “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t” sums up this show. Why bother discussing any of this if there are no solutions and no hope. I’m not sure I am gaining anything except for dread by listening so this might have been my last episode
