  • Love your accent and this podcast!

    Hugh. Don’t worry about your accent. I listen to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, and I can understand every word. It’s my dream to travel to Scotland so I can listen to all of the beautiful accents. This is a sharp and informative podcast, great guests, and wonderful hosts who display their expertise and knowledge.

    And my FAVE guests are David Rothkopf and Dr. John Gardner.

  • Trump Shorts the U.S.

    Canada is asking to be attacked. They need the money. Their deal is similar to what Iran got but they are suggesting that instead of wasting the munitions just skip to the end game and give them 300 billion

  • EQ

    Joanna I adore you, but we need to work on your emotional quotient. Trumps temper tantrum was all about his current mental disability. He doesn’t have the ability to plan a walk out no less execute it.
