  • Hannah please adjust your tone

    I love this podcast, but I have noticed a change this past month. Hannah’s tone whenever she speaks about the newly elected president is very condescending. She hardly ever refers to president Trump as “President”. I can tell she doesn’t care for him, but just give us the 7 facts of the day without giving up your own personal feelings.

    The 7 is the perfect way to start my day. We subscribe to the print edition Post too, but I get my AM briefing on morning walk to the gym.

It's been a very tumultuous time at the RNC over the past several weeks, with Donald Trump influencing the replacement of Ronna McDaniel with loyalists who align with his views.
