I listen to your discussions because I’m interested in hearing various intelligent viewpoints. But it’s important for listeners to know you are STILL Republicans and Mike Madrid is still being paid by Republicans, like in Madrid’s help AGAINST the CA Redistricting Initiative trying to pushback against the cheating Republicans.
This podcast used to be a great one. It was an anti Trump pro democracy show. But ever since Trump won his second term, it’s become a Trump apologists podcast. So embarrassing. I can no longer listen anymore. It’s a pro Trump anti Democratic show now. I don’t know if they become scared of Trump and hi followers, or just returned back to their republican roots. Such a shame.
I appreciate the voices and perspectives from along the political spectrum. But lately there have been a lot of repeat episodes and not much new content.
love the weekly roundup also susan del perch !!!!!!
