Summary

This 4th of July I thought we’d revisit why were are doing this podcast in the first place. What’s at stake and what why we need to care about this country and the direction it’s heading. It doesn’t matter if you feel like you’re too busy to care about politics. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think it matters, or if you think it’ll all just be fine. It won’t. It won’t all just be fine. The country is in deep trouble. And only by paying attention can we hope to solve it. We are standing on the tracks and the train is coming at us full speed. Our democracy, our freedom, everything we hold dear as Americans is in mortal peril. We save ourselves, or we perish. The choice is ours. Please RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!
