0:00.0 | Hi, this is LeWine Lowry. Every month, the paying subscribers of the Glenn Show get to |
0:08.3 | submit questions to Glenn and John McWarner, which they address in an hour and long bonus |
0:13.8 | episode. We decided to start sharing segments of this monthly feature with free subscribers |
0:20.1 | as well. Here is this month's preview. If you want to access the full Q&A and if you want |
