  • Clark does not understand history.

    Clark’s advice is sound and helpful, but he is blind to the detrimental consequences of a political system that punishes his listeners.

  • ❤️ clark & christa. Wes 👎

    I don’t like that Wes Moss has been deeply involved with Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform. You are all about keeping politics out of this show. Please let Christa run the show instead. I can’t trust Wes.
