  • Normality inside the Beltway?

    Great to hear normal people near DC (or one, at least). Thanks for focusing on real events and pointing out the Democrat hypocrisy.

    I really love the hosts but this show has become more advertising than content.

  • All this talk of Gen this or that is a Marxist thing.

    Divide and conquer. Set people against each other by age if you can’t do it by class. I happen to be a Boomer, that is a real thing, men came home from the wars and got back to life, married and started families. These other things, Gen xyz, are just made up divisions that set people apart from each other.

  • No longer normal

    Followed Mary Katharine Ham here from another podcast when she was moderate. She has become a Trump apologist and “Normally” is no longer normal but has veered into far right territory. Such a bummer because so few moderate voices remain.
