    No balance. Just complete “we won” and “isn’t this great” ignorance. Most of the actions of the resurrected administration should have stayed thought experiments.

  • Thought-provoking and informative in a comfortable setting.

    I enjoy listening to the latest political issues within this relaxed format: Insightful, interesting and spiced with just the right amount of dry humor! Having a variety of speakers, sharing various and sometimes divergent views, deepens the conversation.

  • New Intro / Exit Music

    Love the new arrangement! Would pay $50.00 to have it as ringtone. Conversation top notch and soothes my incessant need for right thinking conservative action. Loving show here in Escanaba, MI & now my sister in Cincinnati loves it too.

  • Your not so lying eyes

    Great discussion

    FYI - in case Mike doesn’t know.

    The reason baby formula is so expensive is that the industry is a monopoly created/controlled by the government
