Of course DJT doesn’t care about midterms.

Well, there you go.
Apple Podcasts5LokaplumUnited Statesa month ago - PROMOTING FOX NEWS, REALLY?
I will no longer follow this podcast since they think it’s ok to allow the most destructive news station to advertise on here. Your podcast has become part of the problem, not part of the solution. FOX IS A LYING, MANIPULATIVE, DANGEROUS Station.
Apple Podcasts2BusterBratUnited States2 months ago - An extremely worthwhile listen.
Great show.
Informative and well-sourced, with great interviews with really smart people, many of whom are longer on expertise than name recognition.
I almost never miss an episode.
