Kagro in the Morning - November 27, 2020
November 27, 2020 17:19 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Mmm — leftovers! Not here though. David Waldman and Armando deliver a piping fresh KITM right to your ears today. Don’t bother to get off the couch, just finish off that can of cranberry sauce and tub of Cool Whip, and tune in! Diaper Don sat behind his widdle desk yesterday and had only widdle things to say. Hell yes, Donald Trump is “stepping down” for Joe Biden, of course, he’s not coming to the inauguration...

November 26, 2020 17:17 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Welcome to our annual KITM Thanksgiving Special, with your hosts, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, and their special guests, the Loudoun County Rockettes! Brought to you by… you. We sure couldn’t have done it without you. We’re still grateful for you, even if your name might possibly be mispronounced by us. (David’s got “Nevada”, “Latiñes” and “Latines” down pat, now if only he could say “adversary”…) There is a...

November 25, 2020 17:16 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are in for a pre-Thanksgiving KITM, and just so you don’t miss them, they’ll be back for Thanksgiving too! Today, Donald Trump will reveal election blockbuster news in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania at… psych! Donald’s currently pantsless watching TV, unwilling to even assist his loyal stooges in destroying America. President-elect Joe Biden is president. Trump has been in absentia si...

November 24, 2020 18:46 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Get in. David Waldman takes the wheel and drives us another 2 hours away from the last 4 years. Doesn’t it feel pleasant watching Donald Trump recede in our rearview mirror? He’s getting so tiny! Soon, he’ll just be an insane little dot down in Mar-a-Lago... probably, but who cares? Today, Trump will pardon the national Thanksgiving turkey. On January 20, he’ll be dragged, kicking and screaming, sadly metapho...
Kagro in the Morning - November 23, 2020
November 23, 2020 18:10 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Donald Trump isn’t quite gone, but little by little, he is going. You can feel the weight slowly lifting. KITM can now tackle “Flea bites Johnny Rotten’s penis” stories, and finally take the time to consider Flea’s perspective… Okay, unfortunately, not quite yet. It’s still pretty crazy out there. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver a bit of sanity. Sidney Powell’s leopard print camouflaged her so well th...
Kagro in the Morning - November 20, 2020
November 20, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman was almost “too busy” to bring us a new KITM for today! Can you imagine? There is so much to talk about, and who knows how much time left to talk about it. Things are so insane, David had to release the Kraken, or as we call him, Armando, to help fathom the fusillade of facts and falsehoods flooding the… (I can only think of F-words to describe this situation.) Joe Biden was elected president. G...

November 19, 2020 18:00 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) How do you write a summary of a wildfire? Is democracy burning down, or is the threat being contained? There are so many fires, and so many arsonists! Here’s where David Waldman and Greg Dworkin were this AM: The Board of Canvassers in Wayne County, Michigan almost didn’t certify the county’s votes, because of the two certifiable racists who derailed the process, then viral fame ensued. Finally, the two chose t...

November 18, 2020 17:13 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Welcome to another wacky Wednesday with our wacky KITM Morning crew, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin delivering us from another wacky day of a barely surviving democracy! Ever wonder how many times the actions of a few people managed to save us from destruction? Or how many of these situations might occur in, say, the next 60 days? Did you ever think you’d be watching one unfold on Zoom? Trump forces are droppin...
Kagro in the Morning - November 17, 2020
November 17, 2020 17:40 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Hmm-Lliiiiiivvvve! David Waldman welcomes KITM’s regular, yet special, Tuesday guest Joan McCarter to discuss the important things happening and not happening today. Donald Trump, who was never really president, but is now somehow in exile, is plotting his return. About 3000 votes have turned up in Georgia, almost 1000 in the Trump Glorious Victory column. Only several million more to go! Rather than dig up T...
Kagro in the Morning - November 16, 2020
November 16, 2020 18:39 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Joe Biden won the election. The COVID-19 pandemic is an existential threat with existing solutions. There! Isn’t that easy to understand? David Waldman and Greg Dworkin don’t have to explain that to you. Now, how do we clue in the other folks? The Q Cucks Klan marched on Washington without masks, just as neuroradiologist Scott Atlas called for an uprising against Gretchen Whitmer, who recently escaped from t...
Kagro in the Morning - November 13, 2020
November 13, 2020 18:24 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Soon, we won’t have Donald Trump to kick around, anymore. Geraldo Rivera says it’s time for Trump to walk away with “grace and dignity.” Easier said than done for Donald. His crazy train has never been on the rails. Don’t be concerned, there’s plenty of nitwits and bozos coming up the ranks to occupy David Waldman each day. 87 year old, 25 term Republican Don Young might have pulled his last idiotic move. Too b...
Kagro in the Morning - November 12, 2020
November 12, 2020 18:55 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Pick up a bowl and get in line as David Waldman and Greg Dworkin ladle up 2 hours of KITM for the soul: Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Joe Biden won! We might as well keep celebrating, as here it is, almost the middle of November, and there are still people just figuring this out. Some Trump followers are coming to grips with reality. Some are following the advice of their chickens and are moving on. Karl Ro...

November 11, 2020 18:11 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin welcome back Denise Oliver Velez, whose inestimable breadth and depth of experience, activism and legacy in racial, cultural and political affairs can illuminate our way out of Donald Trump’s morass. Denise visits KITM on Veterans Day, a subject she is also well-suited to address, as military service is a tradition in her family, notably her Tuskegee Airman father! Today’s prin...
Kagro in the Morning - November 10, 2020
November 10, 2020 18:13 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Tuesday! David Waldman! Joan McCarter! Whoo hoo! That’s the good news… then again: Maybe Donald isn’t going away. Donald Trump’s presidency — his entire life — has turned on people believing that absolutely nobody could be that stupid, venal and lazy, and yet here he is proving it, day after day, decade after decade, never paying up. Today he will do everything stupidly wrong, tomorrow he will be back, and wo...
Kagro in the Morning - November 9, 2020
November 09, 2020 18:13 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman, broadcasting LIVE from White House grounds (Easy airport access off Possum Hollow — honk if you see us!) reports on the eagerly awaited FINALE of The Presidential Apprentice! Believe it or not, there are some that aren’t taking the news so well. Rudy’s still got a few tricks up his sleeve, and out in the alley. Don Jr., always a great judge of character, believes something is awry. Mike Pence po...
Kagro in the Morning - November 6, 2020
November 06, 2020 18:17 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman brings us our KITM on the day we’ve all been waiting for: Day One of Donald Trump in exile. Donald Trump did throw together a victory speech for last night. If you didn’t catch it, there will be a lot more to come. Newt Gingrich demands arrests. Seb Gorka demands storm troopers. Steve Bannon moves toward Games of Thrones solutions (Twitter puts his head on a pike.) Brooks Brothers rioters — excep...
Kagro in the Morning - November 5, 2020
November 05, 2020 17:32 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman welcomes Greg Dworkin, and you to the KITM Almost, but Not Quite 270 Electoral Votes Special. Donald Trump is still president. Donald’s lawyers and lackies hereby demand the immediate ceasing & continuance of ballot counting. Republicans have come out in support of whatever that is and join in demanding more & less. William Barr might send armed agents to guarantee it happens or stops. It’s right...
Kagro in the Morning - November 4, 2020
November 04, 2020 17:31 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) What if… hear me out... the polls tightened? Or worse yet, what if 40+% of voters woke up one morning and decided to vote for a Republican? David Waldman and Greg Dworkin felt it with the rest of us last night, and are here to help get us back on our feet and ready to fight. Trusted polling authorities will be spending today explaining why people would ever trust them as authorities again, but really, is ther...
Kagro in the Morning - November 3, 2020
November 03, 2020 17:38 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) The question on this nation’s minds: Could this possibly be the last Taco Tuesday for this administration? David Waldman brings on Armando and Joan McCarter to prepare us for today. Listen to them, and you’ll be set. Take a nap until tonight when the action starts. Voting has already happened in Dixville Notch, therefore voting is over. Why count more votes if you never planned to count all votes? Battlelin...
Kagro in the Morning - November 2, 2020
November 02, 2020 18:20 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) This could end up being a pretty hectic, vexing week. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin present our KITM moment of zen. If you want to understand 2020, look to 2008, or maybe 1980 or 1932. Just cut it out with those comparisons to 2016. Joe Biden, as always, is ahead nationally, and in swing states, and all over the crosstabs, including Latinos. He has a big lead, people. There’s no such thing as a shy Trump vote...
Kagro in the Morning - October 30, 2020
October 30, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Did you think that David Waldman would let you go KITM-free, less than 3 and a half days before this election? Are you kidding? David recorded today’s show before — and after his operation yesterday! It took three orderlies to pry the microphone out of his hands. All this means that Ian Reifowitz can’t make his usual Friday visit. (Don’t let that dissuade your purchase of another copy of The Tribalization of ...
Kagro in the Morning - October 29, 2020
October 29, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman is out today and tomorrow, and that’s okay. It’s okay because it would be awfully hard to resist vexing ourselves counting chickens that just might be a long way from hatching right now, and it’s okay because David also recorded a BRAND NEW KITM for today! Let’s talk about Donald Trump’s corruption. That’s an evergreen topic, not only in regards to Donald, but for Republicans in general, many of w...
Kagro in the Morning - October 28 2020
October 28, 2020 19:16 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman is live today! He’s live Thursday and Friday also, but the KITMs, full of brand-new goodness, will be recorded. You’ll love them just as much! Greg Dworkin asks us to keep our hands and feet inside the Pollercoaster… but you know what? Let’s see those hands over your heads — this ride is getting fun! Joe Biden is locking down Michigan and Wisconsin and double digiting nationally. Gen Z/Millennial...
Kagro in the Morning - October 27, 2020
October 27, 2020 16:54 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) It’s just one damn thing after another, isn’t it? David Waldman reviews, analyzes, and invites Joan McCarter to review and analyze some more. Amy Coney Barrett is a Supreme Court justice. Well, not yet. She’s Donald Trump’s, Mitch McConnell’s and Leonard Leo’s show pony with only a fake swearing in at the White House. Eventually, it will be true, and at that point she will be one of the five justices appoin...
Kagro in the Morning - October 26, 2020
October 26, 2020 17:55 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Ready for some tough answers? David Waldman and Greg Dworkin aren’t going anywhere, especially this close to the big day. Democrats do have a place to go — the polls, with almost half already voting. This isn’t 2016, people! Joe Biden has a whole new coalition. Texas will have a couple million more voters, more Democrats, and one third more unmarried women. Joe’s nailing down battleground states and closing of...

October 23, 2020 16:01 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Only 10 more shopping days before the 2020 United States presidential election! Time to stock up on Ian Reifowitz’s The Tribalization of Politics: How Rush Limbaugh's Race-Baiting Rhetoric on the Obama Presidency Paved the Way for Trump. Ian is David Waldman’s guest on Friday KITMs through the election. (Or as long as we can get him!) Race and class are linked in America, so it makes sense for Democrats to crea...

October 22, 2020 18:33 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) It’s 11 days, 12 hours, 12 minutes and 26 seconds until the election, give or take… Deep breaths! Why is it still so far away? Listen to today’s KITM with David Waldman and Thursday’s guest Greg Dworkin, and another two hours will fly by! Indeed, the presidential campaign really ends in just a few hours at the conclusion of tonight’s debate. This is Donald Trump’s one last chance for that one grand pivot ...

October 21, 2020 16:42 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman presents another Kagro in the Morning, with only 7 more to go before the election! Greg Dworkin reminds us to wear a mask. Also, get out and vote while you still can. In the past couple of weeks about 10,000 families lost a loved one to COVID-19. All of them probably wish they could have received some of that miracle cure Donald Trump promised to hand out… probably even Melania. If only the dead a...

October 20, 2020 16:44 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Yesterday it was reported that Jeffrey Toobin exhibited his boredom with a Zoom staff meeting, you know, like we all do… perhaps a bit more “literally” than most. In unrelated news, David Waldman has not set yet up the “exclusive video option” for KITM deluxe subscribers. You never know the benefits increased editorial freedoms might bring! No, wait. Yes you do! Armando, yes Armando, returns for the first 3/...

October 19, 2020 16:43 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) It’s just a couple of weeks or so before the election. We have Rye, Rye Ice Cream, and David Waldman to pull us through. It’s Monday, so David has Greg Dworkin to pull him through. Chris Christie has had his come to Jesus moment, emerging from his foxhole conversion somewhat more appreciative of foxholes, but not really an apostle. Dr. Scott Atlas, along with esteemed colleagues Prof. Heywood Jablome, Drs. O...

October 16, 2020 16:08 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) It’s Friday! That’s the day David Waldman welcomes coffee enhanced Ian Reifowitz, author of The Tribalization of Politics: How Rush Limbaugh's Race-Baiting Rhetoric on the Obama Presidency Paved the Way for Trump (Two new hardcover copies would make attractive bookends in your Reifowitz-themed library!) Last night NBC essentially retweeted crazy Uncle Donald’s far-right, conspiratorial bull pellets which co...

October 15, 2020 18:15 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin wouldn’t appear in competing live podcasts for probably any amount of cash — Team KITM all the way! (Also — Go Blue!) Yogi, smarter than the average bear, knew to not mess with good-girl Abby, so she proudly returned to doorbell duty today. NBC news running the Donald Trump disinfomercial tonight to make some money. Who knows what Donald hopes to get out of it. Trump’s polling...

October 14, 2020 15:49 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Welcome to the middle of the week, the middle of October, the middle of ... In the middle of times as these, it’s good to see David Waldman and Greg Dworkin team up to fight the agents of chaos and help us over the humps. Donald Trump has handled top issue facing the country the worst. Coronavirus has hit Americans financially and emotionally. Worst yet for Trump, journalists are not immune. About 75,000 m...

October 13, 2020 18:48 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Today, David Waldman, "OG filibuster buster", talks with Eli Zupnick, former communications director for Senator Patty Murray, and soldier in the growing anti-filibuster armies mobilizing to defend democracy! For 45 minutes! Donald Trump... You know the guy — some think he’s Jesus, he thinks he’s Superman? Sadly, Donald hasn’t tried flying or walking on water yet, but he has returned to breathing upon his ti...

October 12, 2020 17:24 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Hey, folks with investable income, it is so nice of you to invest it here. As we have become more “independent” lately we have become more dependent on you. David Waldman has some grand panegyric planned for the near future, but I can already sum it up: Thanks! Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings might be the last opportunity for some in Congress to take a swing at each other, and no one is passing up o...

October 09, 2020 16:22 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) A little post-bar mitzvah-anniversary pierogi hangover/internet disruption couldn’t stop David Cobweb Waldman from delivering today’s KITM! Not with Screamin’ Ian Reifowitz set to join him for the opening hour! (Remember to buy The Tribalization of Politics: How Rush Limbaugh's Race-Baiting Rhetoric on the Obama Presidency Paved the Way for Trump... Why not try handing out individual pages in lieu of sugary treat...

October 08, 2020 17:11 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver a brand-new KITM. Only 18 more until the election! Kamala Harris debated Mike Pence and his fly. The fly was more forthcoming. If you aren’t happy that Donald Trump caught Covid, you should be. Donald Trump is delighted. In fact, it may be the most courageous act a president has undertaken. Take that, Lincoln! Now that “Owning the Libs” now means catching the coronav...

Now brought to you by… Kagro in the Morning! And by David Waldman, and today by Greg Dworkin! And as always, by Me! (I should be in the credits somewhere... I contribute!… I am a Contributor!) And, by you. Let’s take this show somewhere! Donald Trump is a LOSER. As more Americans understand this, the chances of Trump being a 2020 presidential election loser...

October 06, 2020 17:12 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Never fear, David Waldman and KITM is here: Monday: it’s like a miracle curse... Trump reappeared. So, after 3 days, (See what he did there?) Donald Trump returned, somehow younger and stupider than ever. White House staff do fear the reaper, but figure it’s a living, until it isn’t, as Herman Cain can attest. Bob Woodward advised Trump on how to mobilize against the spread of the coronavirus spread, which...

October 05, 2020 17:47 - 1 hour - 53 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) There’s almost no sanity and intelligence left in the world, yet David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have some to share today. Donald Trump is a sick, sick man, obviously. But who really knows how sick Trump really is? Dr. Sean “Spin” Conley got in costume and lied all weekend to keep Trump’s Covid from becoming too confident. Even Maggie Haberman noticed a fib or two. Donald was propped up to strongly, relentlessly...

October 02, 2020 17:32 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Well, surprise, surprise, surprise! Kimberly Guilfoyle displays her genitalia (and other’s) to folks around the office, Melania Trump declares war on Christmas, (and kids), and... well, neither of those stories really merited discussion on Friday’s KITM. Today, the story is the October surprise that can not be a surprise to anyone: Donald and Melania Trump have finally tested positive for Covid-19. (Purportedl...

October 1, rabbit, rabbit to you, and may we meet this month’s surprises with grit and determination. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us a whole lot of the latest: Donald Trump was a bullying jerk in Tuesday’s debate, surprising no one, except perhaps his debate crew, who still long for the cheerfully bullying jerk they remember from 2016. Trump plotted to trigger Joe Biden’s stutter in the last deba...

September 30, 2020 16:26 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Centuries from now, historians and scholars around the world will look back on this precise point in history and say, “Christ, what an asshole.” Unfortunately, we live in the present. Fortunately, we can share this moment with this David Waldman and Greg Dworkin. This week, some journalists will attempt to both-sides, and pundits will attempt to grade on a curve, but the reality is Trump was losing going into ...

September 29, 2020 16:08 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman returns, atoned, rested, and ready for a live KITM. Are we underestimating Donald Trump going into the debate? Trump has underperformed to everyone’s estimation his entire life, however Donald also has a lifetime of experience covering up his shortcomings. Today is probably Trump’s last chance, and deep beneath those shark eyes, he knows it. Not that Trump plans to start putting effort into achiev...

September 28, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Today, David Waldman has been strongly self-reflecting on a huge, beautiful fast. Can you imagine what even one day of self-examination and atonement would do for Donald Trump? Donald Trump pays attention like he pays taxes. Whether it’s a shortage of dollars or sense, all of Trump’s life has been an effort to hide that paucity. Democrats hit the ground crawling in their efforts to decelerate Mitch McCo...

September 25, 2020 19:38 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite for Democracy. David Waldman welcomes us advanced students to today’s KITM. The only thing keeping Rush Limbaugh going nowadays is his knowledge that The Tribalization of Politics: How Rush Limbaugh's Race-Baiting Rhetoric on the Obama Presidency Paved the Way for Trump hasn’t yet sold out. Its author, Ian Reifowitz, gives us a lift in the KITM company DeLorean, back...

September 24, 2020 18:18 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman gives it all he’s got for today’s KITM.
