The focus on AIPAC and its “political influence” when it is a group of American citizens voicing their opinions and NOT mentioning the Chinese and Quatar lobby and their hidden PACs which is hundreds of times bigger and funded by enemy countries is just racist! Jew hate is not news. Check yourselves.

United Statesa month ago - The show is good but not when hosted by Astead Herndon
I have been listening for years but I am very tired of the badly hosted and soft ball interviews done by Astead Herndon. He lets people just say stuff and instead of asking follow up he lets it go seemly just to be liked by the guest. His format for the show might work for some but not for me, I won’t listen to his episodes.
Apple Podcasts3Kalkir64United Statesa month ago - Sell outs
Professional delivery as always but its so clear how much corporate money is influencing your stories and directions these days. Very disappointing! And the fact that you turned comments off on spotify couldn’t make it any clearer. I thought you had integrity. Boooo done listening
Apple Podcasts1ExlistenerDSAforeverUnited States2 months ago - Boomers have all the money
Great topic today and not talked about. My husband I gave our daughter the down payment for her first house.
Now that she has a child and is going through divorce we decided to give her the inheritance to allow her to live as a single mother with less struggle. She is a public servant and works hard but she will never make enough money in the public sector. But she loves her work and is good at doing it.
