Has Trump asked Russia for help with Hormuz? Or the members of his board of peace. Shame on him for giving 💰to Putin.. Shame on the senate republicans for the strife and death in the Middle East and the ensuing migration into Europe.
Git er done girleen! Great show
Liked pretty much all her podcasts and specifically her focus on mainly one topic for each podcast.
I was sooo excited to hear Alex say she had a podcast just now to Nicole Wallace on MSNOW! I jumped right on, subscribed and downloaded! I love her. She’s BRILLIANT, articulate, fun, and I’ll be listening to these everyday with my other MSNOW hosts podcasts who I feel are my family.
