Flashing Back to 5 Years Ago

Flashing Back to 5 Years Ago

In today's podcast - John discusses the changes and similarities of where we were 5 years ago compared to today. He also talks about the looming government shutdown and how Senator Chuck Schumer is breaking ranks and voting with Republicans on the spending bill. Then, he interviews author Ronald Gruner about his past work "We the Presidents" , a presidential history which explores how the policies of American presidents have affected America; and his new book "COVID WARS: America’s Struggle Over Public Health and Personal Freedom". Gruner discusses how deep divisions within America during the COVID Pandemic affected our nation’s death rates, personal freedoms, and national economy. And then finally, John takes a plethora of calls from the Evil Army of the Night on pop culture, the growing resistance from Dems, and Trump's latest evil plans.
