  • Great job David!

    Your show is excellent! One thing I’ve noticed is how ridiculous many of the questions are that are posed to Trump or his press secretary. It’s like they happily regurgitate his misinformed theories or preferences, then ask him what he thinks or will do. Where has the integrity gone in the WH reporters? They are basically bending the knee in order to have access. Could you please address this important issue?
