Mainstream media has betrayed our trust.

Rather than tell us the whole story about the important issues of the day, they tell

us only what they want us to hear.

Your hosts, Tom Harris and Todd Royal, will bring you the other side of the story.

While Americans fill their gas tanks for about $4.10 a gallon and $560 for diesel,

Frank is a senior policy analyst with the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow or CFAC.

You can check them out at c-fact.org and is the author of an important 2024 book titled Climate and Energy Lies, Expensive, Dangerous and

Destructive. In his campaign to support reliable power and against the unscientific idea that

TV and radio and has articles published in media

across the political spectrum. He served as the Legge View, Wisconsin Town Board Chair, and also

in the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate. So welcome back to the show, Frank.
